Beyond the Medal:Dakota’s Next Chapter

It has been over 15 years since Dakota’s heroic actions in Afghanistan led to him being the first living Marine in more than forty years to receive the Medal of Honor. But, as he often says, “That was just one day of my life, I’ve learned a lot since then…”

Since leaving active duty, Dakota has embraced diverse roles in society. He has continued his service by becoming a firefighter and EMT, the entrepreneur behind Own the Dash and DASH Hydrate, a highly sought-after keynote speaker, and the author of two New York Times best-selling books. Perhaps most importantly, Dakota is a father to two beautiful daughters.

Dakota’s unique experiences and hard-earned wisdom led him to develop the “Own the Dash” lifestyle program; a program designed to give people the tools necessary to act with purpose and take back control of their life.

Why to What: A Guide to Owning Your Dash

In his third book, Why to What, Dakota lays out proven techniques to help readers reframe their unhealthy “why?”s into powerful “what?”s, define their purpose, and “own their dash” using a systematic and purposeful approach.

Why to What provides readers with accessible and actionable tools to make strategic decisions about how to live the most meaningful life – delivering readers the keys to owning their dash.

“If you can, you must.”

– Dakota Meyer

Meyer’s characteristic no nonsense brand of candor, honesty, and relatability offers readers encouragement while providing them with achievable steps to improve their perspective and elevate their life.

Dakota’s hope is that Why to What empowers readers to take command of their lives, live more consciously and intentionally, and create a dash that they are proud to own.
