Feeling Lost In Your 20s? 🫠 (Listen to Vince Flynn's Story | American Assassin Author)

Geopolitical thriller author Vince Flynn died after years of battling prostate cancer. He was only 47 years old.

While his family and his readers would have wished he had more years in his life, Vince certainly packed a lot of life into his 47 years on this planet.

Vince had always been attracted to a life in the military, but as it turned out, Interlude into military life was just a detour that routed him to his ultimate calling journey fulfillment.

His military ambition failed when he was medically disqualified due to several concussions and seizures he suffered as a kid.

But Vince didn't let the failure be disqualified, derail him from digging deep and pursuing his calling journey. He understood failure rule number two nothing is safe. But his failure mutated into an adjacent dream.

That dream was to become a full-time fiction writer of Geopolitical spy thrillers. The story bubbling up in his mind involved an explorer turned CIA agent who he eventually called Mitch Rapp.

Mitch wasn't going to become a ring, but he was going to perpetuate that spirit in the hearts of his readers.
