Florent Groberg: Medal of Honor Recipient | MTNPOD #146

Medal of Honor recipient Florent “Flo” Groberg shares the raw story of how his uncle’s brutal beheading by terrorists at age 12 flipped a switch that drove him to hunt evil, join the Army, survive tackling a suicide bomber in Afghanistan (losing 4 brothers), and battle survivor’s guilt. From Ranger School lessons to building unbreakable mental toughness as a husband and father, this is one of the most powerful conversations on trauma, purpose, love, and never quitting.
