🎙️ Episode Summary What happens when a recovering alcoholic, a reluctant athlete, and a guy born on May 6th all walk into the gloom on Kentucky Derby Day? You get Julep—an F3 man on a mission. In this raw and redemptive episode, Julep shares how AA and F3 helped him rise above shame, build real friendships, and become a better father, husband, and leader.
