    KEEP YOURSELF IN THE FIGHT

    EP 10 KEEP YOURSELF IN THE FIGHT — ZACH LEVER What happens when the battle ends... but the fight inside you doesn't? Zach Lever has spent much of his life learning how to keep moving forward. A retired Army Command Sergeant Major, Zach served through combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, experienced loss on the battlefield, underwent open-heart surgery, and spent decades leading soldiers through situations most of us can barely imagine. Then retirement brought a different kind of battlefield. Zach found ultrarunning. Hundreds of miles. Days without adequate sleep. Pain. Exhaustion. And those dark moments when your own mind starts negotiating with you to surrender. In this episode of Fight Like David, Cowbell Rob and Brock sit down with Zach to talk about the connection between suffering and healing, the mental battles that follow us home, leadership, family, patriotism, and why Zach intentionally continues putting himself in uncomfortable situations. Zach also shares the incredible story of joining Team RWB for a record-setting 3,000-mile run across America carrying the American flag — and his battle through the Salt and Sulfur 420. But underneath the medals, military service and finish lines is something much bigger: Learning to keep yourself in the fight. Sometimes your Goliath is standing right in front of you. Sometimes it's something you've carried home from the battlefield. And sometimes it's that voice inside your own head telling you it's time to surrender. Zach's message is simple: When your back is against the wall, fight. Keep moving. Keep growing. Keep surrounding yourself with good people. And above all... Keep yourself in the fight. ⚔️ Fight Like David — Every Giant Falls. Have you overcome a giant and want to share your story? We'd love to hear from you.

    The Giant Beneath the Addiction

    THE GIANT BENEATH THE ADDICTION Jeff Dragovich is known in Las Vegas as the “Vegas Mortgage Dude,” a successful mortgage advisor who has helped thousands of families. But behind the success is a story most people never saw. Jeff spent years battling opioid addiction — a fight that eventually progressed from pills to heroin and nearly cost him his marriage, his family, and his life. In this episode of Fight Like David, Jeff gets real about the moment he looked in the mirror and knew he had a problem, the years of relapse that followed, and the moment his wife finally drew a line that forced him to decide what kind of man he wanted to become. But getting sober wasn't the end of Jeff's fight. He had to learn how to live sober. Jeff talks about surrendering to the recovery process, surrounding himself with people who could help him become better, serving others, rebuilding his relationship with his family, and confronting the deeper Goliath underneath his addiction: Feeling like he wasn't worthy. Today, Jeff is a husband, father, successful businessman, and a man who genuinely loves the life he once came dangerously close to losing. His story is a reminder that defeating one giant doesn't mean the battle is over. Sometimes the greatest transformation happens when we're willing to surrender, do the work, and stop fighting alone. ⚔️ Fight Like David — Every Giant Falls.

    Who's in your Ear?

    WHO’S IN YOUR EAR? Who has your ear? Who are the people you allow to influence your decisions, your confidence, and the way you see yourself? In this episode of Fight Like David, Cowbell Rob and Brock take a deeper look at a part of the David and Goliath story that often gets overlooked — David’s encounter with his older brother Eliab. Before David ever faced Goliath, he had to deal with a voice telling him he didn’t belong there. Sound familiar? Sometimes the loudest voices telling us we can’t do something come from people closest to us. Rob shares his own Fight Like David moment from his 420-mile journey from Salt Lake City to West Yellowstone — including the moment he was physically and emotionally broken and ready to quit. One person in his corner helped him rest, regroup, and keep moving. That leads to the challenge at the heart of this episode: Take inventory of your circle. Who builds you up?Who challenges you to grow?Who pushes you outside your comfort zone?And who keeps telling you to stay small? You may not be able to remove every negative voice from your life — but you can decide which voices get your ear. Your circle matters. Choose it wisely. Because when it’s time to face your giant, you need people in your corner reminding you that you can fight. ⚔️ Fight Like DavidEvery Giant Falls. Have you faced a giant in your own life — addiction, loss, illness, trauma, failure, fear, or something else — and fought your way through it? We want to hear your story. Reach out to Fight Like David and tell us about the giant you faced. Your story might be exactly what someone else needs to hear today.

    I Loved My Kids More Than I Hated Myself | James Yount

    At 40 years old, James Yount looked in the mirror and barely recognized the man staring back at him. Addiction had taken over. His marriage was gone. His kids weren’t living with him. He was severely overweight, without direction, and trying to escape a life he no longer wanted to face. Then something changed. James realized he had to start loving his kids more than he hated himself. In this episode of Fight Like David, James shares his journey from meth addiction, depression, and weighing well over 300 pounds to nearly six years of sobriety, a transformed body, a renewed relationship with Christ, and a life built around helping others. But James also makes something clear: recovery doesn’t mean the giants disappear. We talk about fatherhood, accountability, forgiveness, faith, discipline, learning to be vulnerable, and confronting the deeper wounds underneath our destructive behaviors. 🪨 When we asked James what “stone” he picked up to fight his Goliaths, his answer was simple: Discipline. His story is proof that no matter how far gone you believe you are, you can still choose to get up, face your giants, and become someone new. 🎧 Listen to the full episode and share it with someone who needs to hear James’s story.

    The Giants that Built me Pt 2

    In this powerful second conversation with Josh Pierce, Cowbell Rob continues the story of resilience, family, and faith through some of life’s hardest battles. Josh opens up about raising three young boys while navigating his wife Amberlee’s addiction, the chaos that followed at home and work, and the fear of never knowing what he’d come home to each day. He shares deeply personal memories of overdoses, police involvement, domestic violence, and the strain those years placed on his children. Josh also reflects on the support that helped him survive close friends, his second wife Ashley, and the determination to keep fighting for his boys no matter what. The conversation turns toward healing, fatherhood, and legacy as Josh explains how Ashley helped him find stability and self-worth, and how he’s worked to give his younger boys the safer, more secure life he never had. He also talks candidly about the complicated ways his older sons processed the trauma, the resentment that still lingers, and the hope he has that they learned one core lesson from watching him, never give up. The episode closes with a reflection on what it means to fight like David and fight like Rocky: not with size or strength alone, but with courage, faith, and the willingness to get back up after every hit. Josh’s story is a reminder that strength isn’t about avoiding pain—it’s about enduring it, standing back up, and choosing to become a light for others. “It’s not about how hard you get hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit and get back up.
