About this episode

Nick Maxwell shares his experiences as a personal injury attorney and Army veteran, discussing leadership and mentoring youth.

In this episode of Strength From Service , we sit down with Nick Maxwell , a Mankato-based personal injury attorney and 21-year Army National Guard veteran. Nick shares stories from his military career, the lessons learned through years of service, and how those experiences shaped the way he approaches leadership, accountability, and helping others in his civilian career. We also dive into what it’s really like working as a personal injury lawyer — advocating for people during some of the hardest moments of their lives. Beyond the courtroom and military service, Nick talks about leading and mentoring youth through the Boy Scouts, and why developing the next generation of leaders matters now more than ever. This is a conversation about service that doesn’t stop when the uniform comes off — it just takes a different form.
