    On this episode of I Am Redemption, host Shawn Livingston sits down with Terrence Ogden, founder of Official Project Grit, to hear one of the most powerful transformation stories to come out of Texas. From a life of addiction and living outside the law, to discovering purpose through recovery, ruck marching, and fitness, Terrence takes us deep into his journey. After losing the friend who first introduced him to true recovery, Terrence found healing through movement and brotherhood, eventually honoring that friend’s legacy by founding Project Grit. We talk about the Immortal 32 Ruck, Terrence’s connection to Texas heritage, and how he’s now pushing the limits with his 1,000-mile ruck march across Texas, one mile at a time, carrying more than just a pack on his back.

    Ep. 85 Terrence Ogden | From Addiction to 1,000-Mile Ruck Across Texas | I Am Redemption | Shawn Livingston

    On this episode of I Am Redemption, host Shawn Livingston sits down with Terrence Ogden, founder of Official Project Grit, to hear one of the most powerful transformation stories to come out of Texas. From a life of addiction and living outside the law, to discovering purpose through recovery, ruck marching, and fitness, Terrence takes us deep into his journey. After losing the friend who first introduced him to true recovery, Terrence found healing through movement and brotherhood, eventually honoring that friend’s legacy by founding Project Grit. We talk about the Immortal 32 Ruck, Terrence’s connection to Texas heritage, and how he’s now pushing the limits with his 1,000-mile ruck march across Texas, one mile at a time, carrying more than just a pack on his back. This is a story about redemption, grit, and honoring the pain by giving it purpose. 🎯 Subscribe for more episodes of overcoming adversity and redemption: @iam.redemption | Hosted by Shawn Livingston 🛡️ Learn more about Project Grit:   / officialprojectgrit   (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVBlMFhXVWZwUzFZWUlKOTB5Y0NZM0dOemtuQXxBQ3Jtc0tuQUNCYm9RaXhfQTVQUlJCOEpTaFlPVlhGNEpWdUtTem9pSEQ3eVJaa0dKeGxIcnI0SE56YTYwMUtmZU44YWhzY3BOekRmeE1nNmxLeExfRnBwTVJ2cDJoZlFxeTc1RUhJVjJmMXVNTF9TeWVtMFV2RQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fofficialprojectgrit%2F&v=DYXqzCJYrXs) Hosted by Ausha.

    The second I Am Cricchi stepped into the I Am Redemption studio, he dropped a beat and started rapping! Raw, real, and unrehearsed. In this powerful conversation, Cricchi shares his story of survival: from the streets of Baltimore to battling addiction to crack and opiates, surviving shootouts, homelessness, and time in youth detention. Through it all, the mic never left his hand. What started as freestyling in locked cells has become a message of hope, healing, and hard truth. Today, Cricchi is living sober, a proud husband and father, and using his voice to inspire others through music and message. 00:00 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ss13P0sXC0) – Cold Open: Cricchi Drops a Beat in Studio 02:12 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ss13P0sXC0&t=132s) – Growing Up in Baltimore: Survival & Struggle 07:48 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ss13P0sXC0&t=468s) – Early Addiction: Opiates, Crack, and First Rock Bottom 13:36 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ss13P0sXC0&t=816s) – Shootouts, Near Death, and Living in the Streets 18:24 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ss13P0sXC0&t=1104s) – Juvenile Detention & Discovering His Voice 23:17 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ss13P0sXC0&t=1397s) – Why Writing and Rapping Became His Lifeline 28:59 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ss13P0sXC0&t=1739s) – Battling Demons While Chasing the Mic 34:06 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ss13P0sXC0&t=2046s) – Turning Point: Finding Sobriety & Purpose 39:45 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ss13P0sXC0&t=2385s) – Marriage, Fatherhood, and Building a Life He’s Proud Of 46:32 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ss13P0sXC0&t=2792s) – How His Music Now Inspires Others in Recovery 52:41 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ss13P0sXC0&t=3161s) – Reflections on Pain, Redemption, and Why He’s Still Here 59:12 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ss13P0sXC0&t=3552s) – Closing Freestyle & Final Message to the Audience Hosted by Ausha.
