7:22:42Now PlayingDavid Rutherford is an internationally known motivational speaker, best-selling author, world-championship performance coach, and award-winning podcast host. He is also a former Navy SEAL Medic and Instructor who served for eight years in the NSW community. After his honorable discharge from the Teams, he went to work for Blackwater as an international curriculum development and training specialist.
In 2005, he launched his motivational performance company, Froglogic Concepts, to initially help children develop resilience and confidence. In 2008, David was recruited to work for the CIA as a curriculum and training specialist for two years. He then went on to become operational for the agency as a security threat and protection specialist. After hanging up his kit in 2011, he kick-started Froglogic Concepts again. For over a decade, David and his Froglogic message have reached over 50 million people worldwide as a top motivational speaker, performance coach, podcast host, and author. Some of his notable successes include his role as a motivational performance coach for the 2018 NCAA World Series champions, the Oregon State Beavers baseball team, and the World Series Champion Boston Red Sox.
He is currently working with a top asset management firm with over $200 billion under management as part of their advisor consulting group. He also continues to work with top college and professional athletes and teams.
David’s passion to help people has also been focused on supporting veterans’ charities. For the past decade, he has assisted seven different veterans’ charities to raise awareness, money, and support for struggling vets. For the past two years, David, Jana, and Chris have been developing the Operator Syndrome Foundation. Due to the continued increase in SOF veteran suicides, they decided to start their own charity to target the specific needs of individuals and their unique medical and mental health issues.
