Ep 419 - Conflict to Connection: A Tribute to Ron
In this emotional episode, Tim shares a powerful personal story about acceptance, leadership, and the impact one person can have. Tim recounts meeting Ron, a Vietnam veteran and former jet fighter pilot, during a difficult season in Florida. Ron survived ejecting from his jet twice during the war and became a mentor and friend whose courage and leadership deeply influenced Tim’s life and martial arts journey.
Following his passing, Tim recently visited Ron’s wife and was honored with Ron’s flight jacket — a symbolic reminder of legacy, friendship, and service. It’s a moving tribute to mentorship, gratitude, and the call to attack life — not others.
