Addicted to Betterment is for leaders and high achievers who are wired for sharpening themselves. Hosts, David and Nikki Lewallen Gregory use a framework called The Life Wheel to grow in every role—offering tools, inspiration, and a system for progress.
Built different isn’t a slogan for John Spanogle. It’s a mindset forged through years of service, sacrifice, brotherhood, and relentless commitment to getting better.
David sits down with Retired Lieutenant Colonel Special Forces, Pentagon John Spanogle to explore the lessons he carried from the Green Berets into life after the military. John shares how trust, teamwork, and the pursuit of getting 1% better every day shaped his leadership, why transitioning out of a tight-knit Special Forces team was harder than expected, and how his own experience with chronic pain and recovery led him to become passionate about peptides and longevity.
From pushing beyond perceived limits to helping the people around him improve their quality of life, John’s story is a powerful reminder that high performance isn’t about doing it alone. It’s about who stands beside you and how committed you are to the mission.
