09: Rise to Run Podcast with Julian Fligor

Precision, Purpose, and the Power of Brotherhood

In this emotionally raw and powerfully transparent episode, the host welcomes Julian, founder of Precision Wraps, to share a deeply personal and transformational story. From struggling through a painful childhood, addiction, and life-threatening moments to finding redemption, brotherhood, and purpose, Julian’s journey unfolds in real time with honesty, grit, and humor.

As the episode begins, the two veterans poke fun at their warm Florida weather while the rest of their Uncaged brothers freeze up north, setting a lighthearted tone before diving deep. Julian opens up about his early life in Ohio, his struggles with addiction, and the pivotal moment that sparked change: seeing a photo of his premature son while coming off an eight-day meth bender. From there, he recounts how he got clean, left everything behind, and took a leap of faith by starting his business with just $300 and a borrowed garage.

The conversation evolves into themes of self-worth, faith, fatherhood, and healing. Julian reflects on his relationship with his wife, Michelle, their hardships, and the grace she's shown him through it all. He credits the Uncaged community for helping him break cycles, rewrite his identity, and become a better man, husband, and father.

Together, they talk about the importance of surrounding yourself with people who hold you accountable, the healing power of telling your story, and building a legacy of strength and love. Julian’s vulnerability shines as he shares how close he came to ending his life, and how a quiet spiritual moment and the support of his community pulled him back.

By the end, Julian shares his vision for the next chapter: renewing his vows, showing up for his kids, building a half-million-dollar company, and giving time back to his family. This episode is not just about business or resilience — it’s about brotherhood, belief, and becoming the man you were always meant to be.

If you're struggling, this one’s for you.
