Hey everybody welcome

Welcome to Battle Ground Podcast, the show where we never retreat and never surrender.

I'm Sean Parnell, I'm your host.

So I want you to imagine something.

You're 22 years old.

You're on a European trip with your friends who are also in their 20s.

You're on a train, you hear gunshots, you emerge from your cabin,

and you see a terrorist holding an AK-47.

What would you do in that situation?

Would you run?

Would you hide?

Would you fight?

Many of us probably aren't quite sure.

So this week I've got an amazing guest who can talk about exactly how he reacted in that scenario and his name is Alex Garlados. He's an amazing guy. He is the Paris train attack hero. He and his friend. He wrote this incredible book called the 1517 to Paris.

That book was also a movie written and directed by Clint Eastwood.

He was the star of that movie.

Alex Garlottos also ran for Congress twice.

And oh, by the way, he's only 30 years old.

He's lived a pretty amazing life.

Oh, and we also talk about his time on Dancing with the Stars, where he placed third.

So he's done it all, and like said he's only 30 years old but this

episode is is one of my favorites because the guy has lived just an extraordinary life and so I hope you enjoy it without further
