Episode Details

We want to remind you that our episodes are available on our YouTube Channel, The Gray Line, The Story Behind The Blue Line. Each episode begins with an introductory video featuring our guests. In this episode (ASH WEDNESDAY), hosts David Contreras, Sean Murphy, Bobby Arce, and Doug Collier interview retired Navy SEAL Juan "Gonzo" Gonzales, who has widely shared his life story, which details his path from a troubled childhood to serving in special operations and finding a new purpose as an entrepreneur and coach. His story has been featured in several podcasts, including Transition Drill and The Two Promises Podcast. As the son of a U.S. Army colonel, Gonzalez grew up as an "Army brat," living across South and Central America. While this exposure fostered adaptability, frequent relocation in his formative years led to frustration and academic struggles.
