RobLive Podcast: Terry Slatic, From the Gridiron to the Battlefield

In this powerful episode of RobLive’s INSPIRATIONAL INTERVIEW series, we sit down with Major Terry Slatic, United States Marine Corps (Ret.), for a no-holds-barred journey through his remarkable life. From his early days growing up in New Jersey and Florida, to becoming a high school football All-American, to his service as a Marine officer in Fallujah—this is a story of grit, discipline, sacrifice, and purpose. Terry opens up about being raised by a machinist who fixed mobsters’ Tommy guns, wrestling and football as paths out of hardship, and the staggering odds facing student-athletes today. But just when you think his story ends, it begins again—Terry re-enlisted into the Marines 18 years after being discharged to serve during the Iraq War surge. He shares deep insights on leadership, youth sports, CTE, confidence, and the unexpected road to becoming a Fresno local and a radio voice on KMJ’s Tuesdays with Terry.
