Description
From Ranger to Representative: Jason Crow on Service, Sacrifice, and Solutions
In this week’s Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie are honored to welcome Congressman Jason Crow, who represents Colorado’s Sixth Congressional District.
A former Army Ranger and Bronze Star recipient, Jason brings the heart of a public servant and the grit of a soldier to Congress. From working minimum-wage jobs in high school to deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne Division and elite 75th Ranger Regiment, Jason’s journey is a powerful testament to servant leadership.
We dive into:
• Jason’s path from working-class roots to the battlefield and into the halls of Congress
• How his military experience shapes his approach to leadership and legislation
• His work helping veterans navigate life after service
Tune in for a powerful conversation on service, sacrifice, and putting people before politics.
