“You gotta throw a little spice into whatever it is that you're doing, regardless of whether everybody's got the same idea.” – Dilgilio Rodriguez

Today’s featured author is a US Navy veteran, black belt mixed martial artist, defensive tactic instructor, and The Last City Cowboy, Dilgilio Rodriguez. Dilgilio and I had a fun on a bun chat about his books, how his rich life experience shapes his creative work, and more!!

Key Things You’ll Learn:

How Dilgilio ended up in the Navy and made the transition to civilian living

How he got the name, “The Last City Cowboy”

What inspired him to become a musician and dive deeper into his craft as an author

How he remains positive in massively negative environments

What major life lesson he learned from all his years practicing martial arts
