In this high-impact episode of Light Up Your Life, we’re joined by Dre Baldwin — CEO and Founder of Work On Your Game Inc., 4x TEDx speaker, and author of an incredible 41 books. Dre’s journey from being cut from his high school basketball team to playing professionally for 9 years in 8 countries is the definition of discipline in motion.

His Work On Your Game framework is a reverse-engineered roadmap grounded in discipline, confidence, mental toughness, and initiative — the exact principles he dives into during this episode.
