Nicolas Michael Darland

Nick Darland is a veteran, entrepreneur, and author of Power in Chaos: Overcoming Adversity with Courage and Hope. Growing up, his parents told him he would be dead or in prison by the time he turned eighteen. At seventeen, Nick left home and did the unthinkable he graduated high school, joined the military, and has since built multiple companies. Today, he shares his story to help others turn struggle into strength, blending research on post-traumatic growth with lived experience. His message is simple but powerful: grit helps us survive, but growth sets us free.
