Darrell Utt: A Green Beret’s Story of Grit to Glory

My guest for my first livestream is Retired Green Beret Darrell Utt. Darrell is also the author of Grit to Glory: A Green Beret’s Journey from West Virginia to the Streets of Baghdad.

Tune in as we talk about his career as a Green Beret, the recent attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas, and how it all ties together with international terrorism and being better leaders.

Raised in Huntington, West Virginia, Utt joined the elite Green Berets and led high-stakes missions in hostile environments worldwide. Known for his tactical acumen and strategic thinking, Utt’s leadership combines humility, discipline, and dedication, inspiring his team and fostering unity. He also mentors aspiring soldiers and Green Berets, sharing his knowledge and instilling values of courage, selfless service, duty, and loyalty.

Utt’s awards include five Bronze Star Medals, one with valor for heroism in Baghdad (2006), and the Larry Thorne Award for best operational detachment in the 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne). He also received the Robert T. Frederick Award for military excellence in 2007. Utt retired from the US Army in January 2017 and now resides with his wife in Denton County, Texas.
