Welcome to the very first episode of My Guest Tonight with Jeff Revilla! In this unforgettable debut, Jeff sits down with Kenny Barnwell, a veteran event producer and road crew member with over 20 years of international touring experience. But tonight, Kenny isn’t sharing just any road story—he’s recounting a harrowing, life-altering ordeal that unfolded while on tour in Mexico.
Picture this: Kenny sets out for an innocent evening hike on a mountain trail behind his hotel in Monterrey—something he's done countless times before during his travels. But what starts as a routine workout for his mental and physical well-being quickly turns into a nightmare. Ambushed by six men he believes to be cartel members, Kenny narrowly escapes a kidnapping attempt, is shot at, and is forced to leap off a mountain cliff to save his life—breaking his femur and forearm in the process.
Raw and still in recovery less than a year after the attack, Kenny takes us step by step through his incredible night of survival—dragging himself through cacti and thorns, evading his pursuers, and finding strength in unlikely places, including a mysterious butterfly and a perfectly shaped rock. Throughout, he reflects on the mental and spiritual resilience that drove him to keep moving forward, even when things seemed utterly hopeless.
Tune in for a gripping, inspirational story of sheer determination, faith, and the power of never giving up—no matter how impossible the odds. This is one podcast episode you don’t want to miss!
