In this nostalgic and deeply inspiring episode of #RiseAndGrind, Glenn Lundy reflects on some of the most meaningful live events of his life — from early talent shows and unforgettable parties to major experiences like Hustle and Grind Con and Rise and Grind Live.

But this episode is about more than memories.

It is about the truth that some of life’s greatest moments happen when people come together.

Glenn shares why live, in-person events carry a kind of magic that technology can never fully replace. Hugs. Handshakes. Conversations in line. New friendships. Life-changing connections. In a world that is more digitally connected than ever, this episode is a reminder that real human connection still matters most.

If you have ever felt called to gather people, lead a group, host a dinner, start a Bible study, plan a run club, or create an event that helps people connect — this episode is for you.

The challenge is simple: don’t just attend events this year… create them.

A powerful message on leadership, connection, courage, and why this season needs people willing to bring others together.
