#440 Today's Boondoggle- Doing some High Rollin with Army Veteran Chris McKinney

from Todays Boondoggle Podcast · host Today's Boondoggle Show

From Army PT Stud to BJJ Black Belt: Did Jiu-Jitsu Save His Life? What happens when a scrappy kid from West Virginia picks up a guitar, hops on a skateboard, and ends up answering the call to serve after 9/11? You get one of the most electrifying stories we've ever had on Today's Boondoggle! 🔥 Bill sits down with former Army PT Stud and Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt Chris McKinney for a wild, raw, and inspiring ride. From wrestling in high school to hilarious boot camp memories with "Pukey," getting discharged after a failed drug test, and becoming a fierce advocate for cannabis — Chris holds NOTHING back! But the real gut-punch? How Jiu-Jitsu literally saved his life. Now running his own BJJ Academy, competing in War Games and High Rollers, and living by the motto *Same Species/Different Animal*, Chris is a warrior — and he's fighting for Jesus Christ. This one hits different. Don't miss it! Is it even possible to pack MORE heart, grit, and redemption into one episode — or did Chris McKinney just break the podcast? --- Discounts available on the following Partnerships for Today's Boondoggle Fans: 👉 https://vseeboxus.com/affiliate-program/sell-product?source_type=sales_plugin_af&slt=sales_plugin_af&productPage=1&referral_code=IR57074TWJ3O 👉 PURUS LABS: https://puruslabs.goaffpro.com/create-account?ref=billbailey%2Ftoday%27sboondogglepodcast10 Purus Labs Discount Code: BILL1095 👉 Today's Boondoggle fans can receive 10% off their orders at dreemnutrition.com by using the promo code BOONDOG10 at checkout. 👉 Today's Boondoggle fans can receive 10% off their orders at TNT-Health.com by using the promo code BOONDOGGLE at checkout. 👉 Today's Boondoggle fans receive 10% off on orders from Pure Plank on https://gopureplank.com/ using BOONDOG10 at checkout.
