🎙️ From a childhood of poverty and violence in Los Angeles to the ranks of the 75th Ranger Regiment, Angel Cortes’ story is one of grit, growth, and relentless purpose. In this raw and moving conversation, Angel shares how he escaped gang life, found a new mission in the Army, and eventually became a leader in the Ranger Regiment — even after setbacks, doubters, and near-fatal exits.
Today, Angel’s mission is still about service. Through his business OG Pumpkin, he’s built a community that gives back to veterans and low-income neighborhoods. He co-leads Defense Strategies Group, bringing tactical skills and life lessons to a new audience. And when a friend’s wife faced kidney failure, Angel didn’t hesitate — he gave her a kidney, proving once again that leadership and selflessness don’t end with the uniform.
This is a story about refusing to let your past define you, fighting for your future, and inspiring others to do the same.
Keep going. Listen now.
