On this episode of Bobby Finn Knows Everyone, the guys welcome John Kriesel — former Minnesota state representative, decorated war hero, and funny contributor to KFAN’s Power Trip Morning Show.
John shares his extraordinary story of perseverance and positivity, recounting the day in Iraq when an IED explosion took both of his legs and claimed the lives of two of his brothers in arms. The conversation dives into resilience, humor, and finding happiness in the everyday, from his journey through recovery to his success as motivational speaker and his guest role on one of Minnesota’s most popular radio shows.
Of course, the guys have a few laughs with their local Eastside flavor —and even throw in White Bear Lake and Cottage Grove bar review for good measure.
It’s a moving, funny, and unforgettable conversation with one of Minnesota’s most inspiring voices.
