Living Well Together: Big Life in a Small Town
Living Well Together with Gil Esparza | Ep.81
Pedals, Purpose, and a New Tribe with Gil Esparza
In this powerful episode, we sit down with Gil Esparza, founder and director of Warriors on Wheels, a nonprofit born from one man’s pain, purpose, and a simple bike ride that changed everything.
From being the 9th of 14 children and enlisting in the Navy as a young man, to finding himself medically separated, battling PTSD, and living in his truck—Gil’s journey is one of deep resilience, redemption, and radical connection. Through the unexpected gift of a yard sale bike, he discovered healing on two wheels, and soon realized he wasn’t alone.
Today, Warriors on Wheels offers veterans, first responders, and their families a renewed sense of identity and community—one ride at a time. With a focus on connection, accountability, and service to others, Gil and his cycling tribe are transforming trauma into triumph across trails and towns.
💛 Whether you’re a veteran, a supporter, or someone seeking a way to serve, this conversation will stir your heart and remind you of the power of movement, mission, and finding your tribe.
