Tough and well-versed in fighting, today's guest has made a career for himself as a secret agent, a detective, police officer, lawyer, and more through acting. As you can tell, he wears a lot of hats- on and off-screen- father, boxer, jiu-jitsu fighter, producer, and actor. It takes massive discipline to cover all of those and do so successfully. Today, Frank Grillo shares with the young men of Apogee how he gets it done.

THE MISSION

Many of the young people who would thrive the most at Acton Academy (a school founded by Matt Beaudreau), simply can’t afford it. The Essential 11 was created to fill that gap. Our goal is to provide scholarships to as many Acton Academy students in need as we possibly can. 100% of all proceeds from this podcast go directly towards sponsoring young heroes here in the Sacramento area. We know and believe that a greater future starts with greater education for more students.
