Dom Fusco: Rock Bottom, Establishing Belief, & The Traps for Men in Their 20s
Finding Inspiration
Dom Fusco found himself in a dark place during his transition from college athletics to establishing himself in the real world.
After battling some injuries during college, his resiliency and desires to play collegiate football were tested. While his buddies competed on the field, he quietly worked to regain his health. He struggled. Dom found himself in a place he never wanted to be: partying, injured, and unsure of what the next steps would look like for him. Would he play football again?
Dom battled to regain his footing and found himself lost, until one day a buddy of his sent him a Gary V clip that sparked the change he needed to start to rebuild himself and his passion for life. The Gary V clip led to Dom starting podcasting, which led to him to the realization that he had a knack for media.
He continued to lean into his passion for health, which ultimately led him to joining the Upspace team just over a year ago. It was a pleasure getting to hear Dom's story and his insights into navigating the early part of his 20s. It's clear he's on a path to do big things, but it didn't come without agonizing through some tough months trying to find his way in this world.
Dom is now the host of the Pure Ambition Podcast and one of the Founders of Upspace - an app focused on helping creators in the health and wellness space build communities of value.
