In today’s episode, we’re joined by Dre Nuzum, a life coach, speaker, and incredible storyteller. Dre shares his powerful journey of overcoming adversity and never giving up. From being separated from his mother at a young age due to gang violence, to an emotional reunion after 20 years, Dre highlights the perseverance of his mother’s search and his own struggles with family dynamics.
Dre also opens up about his time as a walk-on athlete at Moorhead State University, where he defied the odds and earned a spot on the football team after years of rejection. He shares how his dedication and attitude inspired not just his team, but also helped him eventually achieve his dreams of competing on American Ninja Warrior—despite a near-death accident that left him in a coma and with multiple injuries.
Through all of these challenges, Dre’s story is a testament to the power of determination, resilience, and the importance of finding your why. Tune in for an inspiring conversation on how to keep moving forward, no matter the obstacles in your path.
