Bernie Melanson

As a retired Air Force veteran, I’ve learned the hard way just how fragile life really is. After a crash and several close calls while flying as a flight engineer, I stopped taking time for granted. I stopped going through the motions. I started paying attention.

That shift in perspective shaped everything that followed—from how I lead and train, to how I write and speak. My books, An Inspired Renewal and Minutes Matter, are rooted in one core belief: every moment is a gift, and how we use it defines who we become.

Whether in combat zones or conference rooms, I’ve seen what happens when people drift—and what’s possible when they choose to wake up, refocus, and live with intention. My mission now is to help others do just that: reset their mindset, reclaim their purpose, and show up for what matters most.

Even something as simple as a better cup of coffee became a metaphor for the life I wanted—no more settling, no more bitterness. Just clarity, quality, and meaning—one moment, one choice at a time.
