Because We Can #Rise&Grind

Because We Can #Rise&Grind

What if being born in America isn't the reward... what if it's the assignment? As we celebrate 250 years of this incredible, imperfect, inspiring experiment called the United States of America, we're asking one final question: What are you going to do with the opportunity you've been given? In this powerful finale, Glenn shares a deeply personal story—from growing up on the wrong side of the tracks in Flagstaff, Arizona, to homelessness, addiction, 17 arrests, and a suicide attempt... to becoming a husband, father of nine, business owner, and servant leader. This episode isn't about politics. It's not about perfection. It's about PURPOSE. 🔥 Why are so many people struggling despite having more opportunity than any generation in history? 🔥 Why do contribution and purpose create more happiness than comfort and consumption? 🔥 What if the secret to fulfillment isn't getting more—but building more? As fireworks light up the sky this Fourth of July, Glenn challenges us all to stop being spectators and start becoming builders again. Build your family. Build your business. Build your faith. Build your community. Build your legacy. Because one day, the fireworks will stop, the songs will end, and only one question will remain: What did you build with the opportunity you were given? Happy 250th Birthday, America. Now let's get to work. #RiseAndGrind #BornInTheUSA #FourthOfJuly #AmericanDream #Purpose #Legacy #Leadership #FaithFamilyFreedom #Build #Gratitude #SuccessMindset

Today, something happened on #RiseAndGrind that has NEVER happened before in over 2,000 episodes... Glenn Lundy drank coffee. Yes. At 48 years old. For the very first time. 😳☕😂 But what started as a hilarious experiment after a disrupted sleep cycle quickly turned into one of the most important conversations we've had in this entire Born in the USA series. What if being born in America isn't just a privilege... but a responsibility? In this powerful episode, Glenn explores: 🇺🇸 Why being born in America is like winning a lottery ticket that only 4% of the world's population receives. 📖 The profound meaning behind the verse, "To whom much is given, much is required." 🧠 Why access to opportunity means nothing if we don't use it. 💪 The difference between entitlement and responsibility. 🙏 Why gratitude may be the most powerful force we possess. 🚀 How ordinary people can still do extraordinary things. Along the way, Glenn discusses: ✔️ Learning to solve a Rubik's Cube at age 48 ✔️ Why complaining about egg prices might be the wrong question ✔️ What America's founders had that we often lack today ✔️ Why your life, your family, and your future are part of a much bigger story This isn't about politics. This isn't about pretending life is perfect. This is about recognizing the opportunities we've been given and deciding what we're going to do with them. Because maybe... Just maybe... You weren't born in this place and this time by accident. 🔥 If this episode moves you, share it with someone who needs to be reminded that their life still matters, their future isn't finished, and their opportunity is sacred. #RiseAndGrind #BornInTheUSA #GlennLundy #FaithFamilyFuture #AmericanDream #PersonalDevelopment #Leadership #Gratitude #Purpose #Responsibility

Somebody Has To #Rise&Grind

What if the question "Why me?" has never really been about you at all? In this powerful conclusion to our "Why Me?" series, Glenn shares a deeply personal moment—oversleeping for the first time in years after weeks of relentless travel, leadership, and service—and discovers a profound truth: sometimes the answer to "Why me?" is simply "Because somebody has to." Through stories of exhaustion, grace, David and Goliath, Esther's calling, and Glenn's own journey from homelessness and hardship to purpose and impact, this episode challenges us to stop asking why we're carrying the burden and start asking how we're going to fulfill the assignment. 🔥 If your family needs healing... 🔥 If your business needs saving... 🔥 If your community needs leadership... 🔥 If your heart has been asking "Why me?"... This message is for you. In this episode: ✅ Why responsibility often feels like burden ✅ The hidden gift of grace and human imperfection ✅ Why your struggles may be preparing you for someone else's breakthrough ✅ The dangerous lie that "somebody else will do it" ✅ How to step into the assignment God trusted you to carry Because maybe... just maybe... God chose you because He knew you could handle it. 📌 You were created on purpose, for a purpose, with a purpose. #RiseAndGrind #WhyMe #Purpose #Leadership #Faith #PersonalDevelopment #Mindset #DavidAndGoliath #Esther #ChristianLeadership #Motivation #Inspiration #MorningMotivation #GlennLundy #800PercentLife

You Choose #Rise&Grind

Why is my life like this? It's a question we've all asked. Why me? Why am I stuck? Why is my health declining? Why is my marriage struggling? Why do I feel exhausted, frustrated, or unfulfilled?

Before you get defensive, hear him out.
