Gilbert Tuhabonye is a true Overcomer. Gilbert is the founder of The Gazelle Foundation, which brings clean water to Burundi, Africa, where he grew up. Gilbert is an accomplished runner, which not only saved his life, but he has also run with the Olympic torch and been recognized by the White House. Gilbert survived a harrowing attack and burning in his home country when he was a teenager, and has lived to tell the story after betrayal, trauma, escape, and recovering from burns on over 30% of his body. Now residing in Austin, Texas, Gilbert has a renowned running group, Gilbert’s Gazelles, and continues to grow his Gazelle Foundation, helping those in Burundi.

Everyone you meet, every single day, is fighting a battle you know nothing about. We are all in the process of overcoming something big, something small, but we are faced with the challenge to overcome all the time. You, me, we have overcome 100% of our darkest days.   I’m Justin Wren, and I believe we are all Overcomers if we choose to overcome. We all have the option. I have overcome childhood trauma, sexual abuse, immense bullying, depression, suicidal ideation, self-imposed substance abuse, and addiction to numb my pain, and I survived two real-deal suicide attempts.    I am blessed with great friends like Joe Rogan, Dustin Poirier, and Manny Pacquiao, who have helped me, Justin Wren, share my story, Fight For The Forgotten, and the story of the Pygmy people. Joe Rogan had me on the Joe Rogan Experience 9 different times to share my story and experiences with Fight For The Forgotten and the Pygmy people. Joe Rogan, Dustin Poirer, and Manny Pacquiao have helped me raise an immense amount of funds for Fight For The Forgotten.   This podcast is my opportunity to give back. To share the most remarkable stories of people who have overcome adversity and remind each of you listening that you have overcome 100% of your darkest days, and now is no time to stop. I will have guests like Joe Rogan, Dustin Poirer, Manny Pacquiao, Jared Padalecki, Tim Dillon, Tim Kennedy, Laird Hamilton, Gabby Reece, Kelly Slater, Mike Tyson, Ed Mylett, David Sinclair and many more on the show.    Hot Pie Media is an on-demand digital audio/video entertainment network with interests primarily in the creation of original, relevant, and entertaining podcasts.    https://hotpiemedia.com   Follow Justin Wren on social media: Twitter  Instagram  Facebook Follow Overcome on social media: Instagram
