EP-382 | From Combat to Purpose: Rich Ingram's Journey of Resilience

Rich Ingram is a living testament to the power of resilience and perseverance. After losing his arm in an ambush while serving in Iraq in 2005, Rich became the first amputee to earn an officer’s commission, later deploying three more times as a combat engineer. Drawing on his military experience, Rich has since held leadership roles in a Fortune 500 company and has appeared on CBS News, FOX, and the Associated Press, sharing his journey of overcoming adversity. Rich is also an accomplished endurance athlete, completing the grueling Leadville Trail 100 ultramarathon and competing in elite ultramarathon and mountain bike events across the U.S. His personal story of grit and determination inspires audiences to embrace challenges, overcome fear, and build the resilience necessary to bounce back from life’s toughest moments. Whether you’re a veteran or someone searching for inspiration, Rich's story is a testament to the power of endurance, purpose, and the human spirit.
