About this episode

Karen Smith interviews Ronnie Grissett about his journey of recovery and the importance of service and home maintenance.

When service becomes the foundation of your life, the structure you build is unshakable. This week, I’m sitting down with Ronnie Grissett, owner of Team Patriot Home Stewardship Services and a medically retired Army veteran. Ronnie joins me for a conversation that spans from construction mission fields in Honduras and Uganda to the importance of proactive home maintenance right here in Bay County. Ronnie shares his incredible journey of recovery following a traumatic brain injury in 2020, exploring how that experience deepened his appreciation for health and his commitment to helping others. He also gives us an insightful look into his new his innovative "Home Stewardship" program. I’ve dubbed Ronnie as my "rent-a-husband" service and during our conversation we discuss why taking care of your physical home is just as vital as maintaining your mental health.
