Eric James Newell is a transformational leader, combat veteran, and international speaker with a passion for helping people rise above their circumstances and unlock their potential. His path wasn’t easy. As a young child through his early teens, he struggled as a juvenile delinquent—bouncing between survival and uncertainty.
But that was just the beginning of his evolution.
Eric went on to serve with distinction in major combat deployments, leading teams in high‑pressure environments where adaptability meant survival. He later built a successful career in business operations and leadership development, coaching professionals across industries to embrace growth with intention.
His personal transformation led him to develop the SQUIRREL Framework—a model for adaptive learning and purposeful evolution. Today, he shares his story and strategies with individuals around the world who are ready to move beyond who they were and become who they’re meant to be.
