Episode Notes

How much would have to happen to you before you decided life had given you a good enough excuse to quit?

De Aundray Gooden lost his mom at nine. His dad at fifteen. He experienced homelessness, helped raise his younger brother, failed out of college—and just when he thought he'd gotten his life back on track, he was shot with a .45 and had to learn how to walk again.

Dre sits down with Zach to tell a story that sounds like it should have produced a very different man.

Press play to stop giving your past permission to decide your future.
