In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad Robichaux is joined by former USMC Veteran, licensed alligator trapper and founder of Project Savior Outdoors, Mike Dragich.

Mike shares his wild journey: from being shot in the chest, surviving near-death, giving his life to Christ and to becoming known nationwide for wrestling 10-foot gators in the streets. This is a story of redemption, raw masculinity, and spiritual warfare. If you've ever wondered how faith, violence, and brotherhood can coexist

Mike Dragich, widely recognized as the "Blue Collar Brawler," is a multifaceted individual: a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, licensed Florida alligator trapper, and founder of the nonprofit organization Project Savior Outdoors. His life's journey is marked by resilience, faith, and a commitment to serving others.
