Show by Bam - The Wild Chaos
How many times can someone come close to losing their life before they start looking at everything differently? This week on The Wild Chaos Podcast, I'm sitting down with Zac Griffith, and this conversation went in a hell of a lot of directions. When I first invited Zac on the show, he genuinely questioned what he could bring to the table. He grew up in a good home, had great parents, and lived what he describes as a pretty sheltered Mormon upbringing. But the more we started talking, the more I realized this guy has some absolutely wild stories. We're talking about a jet-ski accident, a mountain injury that required a life flight helicopter rescue, and a serious surgery that put him in the hospital for weeks and could have cost him his life.And that's just the beginning. We get into something I think a lot of fathers need to hear as well: raising kids with accountability, teaching them to work, and preparing them for a world that isn't always going to be comfortable. Zac also opens up about divorce, the loneliness that followed, losing faith in the idea of a good marriage, and eventually finding love and building a new chapter of his life. And because Zac has spent years in sales and the mortgage industry, we talk about rejection, entrepreneurship, financial discipline, and the misconceptions surrounding VA home loans for veterans. One of the things I appreciate about Zac is that he doesn't pretend to have some perfect inspirational story. He's willing to laugh at himself, own his mistakes, and talk about the lessons he's learned along the way. You don't have to be famous, survive combat, or have a traumatic childhood to have a story worth sharing. Sometimes the wild lessons are right in front of us.
