From the Battlefield to Breakthrough: The Kalob Creighton Story
This week on the Team Never Quit Podcast, we sit down with Special Forces Green Beret Kalob Creighton, whose story embodies the essence of courage, faith, and the power of healing.
Kalob’s journey began on the battlefield—serving his nation with honor and sacrifice. But his most life-changing battle didn’t happen overseas; it happened at home. During a late-night burglary attempt, Kalob was shot while shielding his toddler from danger. The bullet remains lodged near his spine—a constant reminder of that night and the uncertainty that followed.
Yet Kalob’s story doesn’t end with pain; it continues with purpose. Through his partnership with RejuvStem, Kalob has discovered the transformative potential of regenerative medicine. His recovery is more than physical—it’s a story of restored hope, renewed strength, and a return to life fully lived.
Join Marcus and Melanie as they explore how Kalob’s warrior mindset, combined with groundbreaking medical innovation, has redefined what it means to overcome. This episode is a powerful testament to resilience, family, and the mission to heal, restore, and give back the chance at life that so many fight for.
Listen now to hear Kalob’s incredible journey of survival, innovation, and strength—reminding us all why we never quit.
In this episode you will hear:
• You know how you go through stuff in training where it just sucks so bad it stops sucking? The “give a fuck” goes away. (15:20)
• The Delta course is crazy. You see guys cut open. Until I hit A&P and we started putting fingers in asses. (27:17)
• You have to learn the hard way sometimes. (37:34)
• [My father] He may not do it the right way himself, but he wanted us to do it the right way, and he taught us some morals and values. (37:50)
• [My dad] was a great human. [He’d] shake your hand. That’s what meant more than a contract. (38:00)
• When you’re switching from something that’s high octane like this driven purpose in a team environment. You walk out and you’re like “where’s my team at? (42:52)
• I’m all in. 100 miles an hour. Full throttle. Let’s go. (43:12)
• I got shot by a guy named “Keypad.” (61:26)
• That was the best thing that happened to me. I needed the wake-up call. It was God saying “listen up, dude.” (63:44)
• Like life #7. Pay attention, bro. (63:54)
• I got the feeling back in my right leg. In my left leg it never returned. (64:23)
• I’m sitting the just asking God, “When do guys like me quit? When do we throw in the towel? (70:11)
• I really brought in the realization of what’s important. If this does not have a purpose – change it. (80:03)
