Waiting 7 Days to Die | Episode 18

In this special episode of Get a Grip Podcast, Louis sits down with Manny Vitale, a former Detroit Police officer and outlaw biker whose life story is one of survival, transformation, and redemption. Manny opens up about the unimaginable hardships he faced, including surviving a bullet to the face, being stabbed, and fighting a battle with alcoholism that nearly took his life.

His journey through pain and suffering is a testament to his resilience, as he overcame each obstacle and came out stronger on the other side. Manny takes us through the dark chapters of his life, detailing how he navigated the gritty streets of Detroit as both a cop and a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang. He shares his experiences of living on the edge, constantly facing danger and self-destruction, but ultimately finding the strength to break free from a destructive lifestyle.

Now, in recovery and using his voice to inspire others, Manny runs his own podcast, My Fight Our War, where he helps people struggling with addiction, trauma, and mental health issues find hope and healing. In this episode, Manny speaks candidly about how he turned his life around, how he found a new purpose, and the importance of community and support in the journey of recovery. Join us as we hear about Manny’s incredible story of survival and his mission to help others through their own battles. This is an episode you won’t want to miss—full of raw honesty, powerful insights, and a message of hope for anyone facing their own fight.
