Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of childhood sexual abuse and trauma that some viewers may find difficult. Viewer discretion is advised.

In this episode of Unarmored Talk, I speak with Emilio Roman, a Marine Corps veteran, minister, entrepreneur, and author who grew up in Camden, New Jersey, surrounded by instability and hardship. Despite those early challenges—including a speech impediment and childhood trauma—Emilio built a life centered on faith, service, and helping others share their stories.

We discuss the power of mentorship, resilience, and how one teacher’s trust helped change the direction of his life. We also explore the importance of storytelling and how books and lived experiences can inspire the next generation.

Subscribe, share this episode with someone who needs encouragement, and leave a review with the mentor or moment that helped you find your voice.
