Former Green Beret Johnny Glenn has been blown up five times, shot once, and cracked his frontal lobe—and still refuses to quit. In this powerful episode, he opens up about surviving combat, losing his parents, running across America with pneumonia, and what it means to live by your name.

Johnny shares the brutal truth about pain, purpose, and resilience—and why his mindset is forged not just by war, but by love, loss, and the will to keep going.

This is an episode about grit. About getting back up. And about what it means to be a Glenn.

What does it take to go from standing in a welfare line… to becoming a Ranger, a Night Stalker, and a Green Beret—all before age 25?

Ren Ligon’s story is grit in its rawest form. He didn’t grow up with privilege. He grew up fighting—first for survival, then for a spot in the most elite military units in the world, and now for his place in Hollywood.

In this episode, Ren opens up about rejection, ego control, Special Forces selection, breaking into acting, and how growing up poor shaped his mindset.

This is for anyone doubting their path… wondering if they’re good enough… or thinking their past defines their future.
