Before Built to Rise, there was a story.

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 is Glenn's story of what happened beyond football, beyond the image people saw, and through the experiences that ultimately changed the man underneath it all.

Our stories don't have to end in the places that hurt us. Sometimes those places become the beginning of what we're meant to do next.

On October 22, Glenn Derby will be joined by Jim Plasky, NP and Brittany Brandt for the first Built to Rise live experience. You'll hear lived experiences with trauma, recovery, mental health, relationships, identity and transformation, along with professional perspective and an honest moderated conversation about what healing actually looks like.

No pretending. No perfect stories.

Tickets are available now. Join us October 22.

It's about the rejection you felt years ago. The betrayal you never processed. The fear of being abandoned. The belief that nobody listens to you. We don't enter relationships as blank slates. We bring our history with us.

Healing doesn't mean your past disappears. It means your past doesn't get to run every conversation you have today.

What have your relationships taught you about yourself?

BUILT TO RISE IS OFFICIALLY HERE.

On October 22, we're bringing three different voices and three very different stories together at the Janesville Performing Arts Center for an honest conversation about mental health, resilience, recovery, relationships, trauma, communication, identity, and what it really takes to rebuild your life.

You'll hear personal stories, gain practical perspectives on healing and recovery, and join us for a live moderated conversation about some of the things we don't talk about nearly enough.

This isn't another motivational seminar.

It's real people. Real stories. Real conversations.

And hopefully, the beginning of something much bigger.

That liar is whispering again.

You know the voice.

You’re not enough.
You haven’t changed.
Look at your past.
Who do you think you are?

And if I listen long enough, sometimes those lies start sounding like truth.

But here’s what I’ve learned…

Just because a lie gets planted in my head doesn’t mean I have to water it.

Those seeds of doubt don’t get to grow roots anymore.

Because the devil doesn’t get to tell me who I am.
My mistakes don’t get to tell me who I am.
My addiction doesn’t get to tell me who I am.
My trauma doesn’t get to tell me who I am.
And my past sure as hell doesn’t get to tell me who I am.

WHO I AM is who HE says I am. ✝️

Loved.
Forgiven.
Chosen.
Redeemed.
A new creation.

That’s Upstairs Living.

I don’t have to fight every lie downstairs.

I take it upstairs and ask:

Father… who do YOU say I am?

And that’s the voice I’m learning to believe.

The liar can whisper.
But he doesn’t get to name me.

I've been hinting that something new is coming and it's time to finally tell you what we've been building...

Introducing Built to Rise: a new live experience created to open up the conversations we’ve been avoiding for too long.

This project means a lot to me, and I can’t wait to share why, who will be joining me for our first event, and the kind of dialogue I believe we need to be having right now.

At the heart of it all is a philosophy that’s become central to my own work: Calm the Chaos to Communicate Clearly.

This is just the beginning.

🎟️ Tickets coming soon.

Stay close...I’ll be sharing more details very soon.
