067 I Would Have Walked Right Past Him | Glen Nelson

What if the people you’ve overlooked had something to teach you? In this episode of The Grandpa Channel, Glen Nelson reflects on the lessons life taught him the hard way—from growing up as a chronically ill child to realizing he didn’t have to stay where he started. After a life-altering experience with his daughter’s health, Glen began to question what really mattered—and shifted away from chasing things that no longer felt meaningful. But it’s his perspective on people that stays with you. Through simple, unexpected moments—a conversation at a bus stop, a stranger in a record store—he shares how easy it is to walk past someone without ever knowing who they are… and what changes when you don’t. This is a conversation about curiosity, connection, and learning to see people differently. In this episode: Growing up sick and discovering you can choose your environment The moment that changed what mattered most Why both younger and older generations feel invisible How small interactions turn into meaningful connections The story behind “I would have walked right past him” Letting go of judgment and becoming more curious Why relationships shape everything Recognizing guidance, faith, and unseen connection in everyday life
