In this episode we sat down in person with the head basketball coach of St. Vincent St. Mary Coach Dru Joyce II. Coach Dru is most notably known nationally for coaching The Fab 5 with Dru Joyce III, Romeo Travis, Sian Cotton, Willie McGee, and LeBron James in high school. Locally though, Coach Dru is known as a living legend, not only as a coach, but as a entrepreneur, author, devoted family man and a mentor to hundreds of young men and women throughout the city of Akron. In this episode we spoke with Coach Dru about his origins, growing up in East Liverpool, trying to find himself as a young man in college at Ohio University and how we was able to find his connection to the creator in different areas when he needed it most. This episode is filled with wisdom of a man who’s commitment to faith has challenged him in ways that he didn’t even see the significance in the moment, but he leaned into his faith regardless the circumstance. In episode 30 we wanted to give flowers to a great man while he’s still here to receive them! Not everyday you get to chop it up with legends. Much love to the GOAT
