Pedals, Purpose, and a New Tribe with Gil EsparzaIn this powerful episode, we sit down with Gil Esparza, founder and director of Warriors on Wheels, a nonprofit born from one man’s pain, purpose, and a simple bike ride that changed everything.From being the 9th of 14 children and enlisting in the Navy as a young man, to finding himself medically separated, battling PTSD, and living in his truck—Gil’s journey is one of deep resilience, redemption, and radical connection.
