Description

Glen Fisher’s life reads like fiction—but it’s all real. In this powerful episode of the Peak Podcast, Glen opens up about surviving childhood abuse, homelessness, heroin addiction, and over a dozen overdoses.

From being dismissed as a “walking dead” teenager to founding The Leg Up charity and writing a book, Glen’s story is one of brutal truth, deep pain, and incredible resilience.

This is an unfiltered conversation about trauma, recovery, faith, and the power of giving back.
