Too Good to be Drew

Ask a question for the show

The holidays have a way of reminding us what really matters.

In this episode, I share a few of my favorite Christmas movies, reflect on the work I get to do with teens and young adults during this season, and talk about a recent long, honest conversation with a close friend navigating a difficult 2025.

It’s a reminder that the greatest gift during the holidays isn’t perfection—it’s connection. Showing up, listening, and being present can make all the difference.

• Why holiday movies hit differently
• Lessons from coaching during the holidays
• The power of checking in on your people
• 
  

Sometimes the most meaningful moments come from simply being there.

After a lengthy break, Uncle Drew is back — and he’s restarting the journey from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the busiest airport in the United States.

This episode is a walk through ATL as a living ecosystem:

• ✈️ The nonstop movement of people from all walks of life
• 🤖 Technology operating at elite speed and scale
• 🏙️ Why Delta Airlines remains the preferred way to travel
• 🔑 Life lessons you can only learn while in motion

From people-watching to perspective-shifting, this isn’t just about travel — it’s about movement, awareness, and returning with clarity.

In this episode, Drew dives into the current state of college football — a landscape that feels more chaotic than ever for both players and coaches. With NIL, the transfer portal, unrealistic expectations, and constant job turnover, the sport is begging for structure, leadership, and accountability. Drew breaks down why the game needs order, what’s being lost in the madness, and where things are headed if nothing changes.

Then, he unpacks one of the biggest current storylines:

Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss — what it means, why the move happened, and whether he can actually succeed at a program that seems addicted to expectations that don’t match reality.

In this Thanksgiving episode, Drew pulls back the curtain on where he’s been all week and what this season is really bringing up for him. He shares what—and who—he’s grateful for, especially the blessing of having friends he can call at a moment’s notice. One of those friends? Johnny, who recently came back into Drew’s life in a powerful, unexpected way.

This episode is all about not counting the time, but making the time count—especially around the holidays. Drew dives into being present with family, reconnecting with old friends, and slowing down enough to actually enjoy the moment you’re in.

Of course… it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without food. Drew also reveals his go-to Thanksgiving dishes—the same ones that guarantee he’ll be running extra miles the following week.

Wishing everyone a warm, safe, and meaningful Thanksgiving. Travel safe, love on your people, and make the moments count.

In this Fast Friday drop, Drew reflects on the deep gratitude he feels doing the work he loves — helping teens, young adults, and parents grow together. The greatest compliment he can receive? When families notice the real, tangible changes in their young men and inside their home.

This week brought one of those moments — a small breakthrough in a session that reminded Drew how the “little things” we often overlook can be life-changing for someone else. Coaching is a group effort, and these wins belong to everyone involved.

Drew also shares what’s ahead: by the time you hear this, he’s in Atlanta for the NCSL National Conference on Student Life, delivering his workshop on leadership to young emerging change makers. Not nervous — prepared. Not worried — aligned. This marks the beginning of Drew stepping fully into the speaker, motivator, and leader he’s been becoming behind the scenes.

A quick hit of gratitude, purpose, and momentum to send you into the weekend.

⚠️ Content Warning:

This episode contains sensitive conversations about death, grief, violence, and loss. Please listen with care and step away if you need to.

In this episode, Drew reflects on the life and tragic loss of his favorite rapper, Young Dolph—gunned down four years ago while grabbing cookies from his favorite spot. Another husband, father, and human being stolen by senseless violence.

Drew dives deep into what death has taught him over the last six years as he’s lost person after person who shaped his story. He talks about facing grief, healing through it, and learning to live vicariously for the people who no longer can.

This conversation is about honoring those we’ve lost… and recognizing the value, purpose, and potential they helped us uncover within ourselves.

In this episode, Drew calls out the recent NFL spitting incident and the growing trend of grown men acting like children on national stages. He breaks down why emotional maturity matters and how real leaders carry themselves under pressure.

Drew also flips the phrase “out kicking your coverage,” showing why aiming higher—in relationships, opportunities, and your own personal standards—is actually a win. Wanting more for yourself isn’t a flaw; it’s growth.

In this episode, Drew dives into the history of Blaxploitation films—how they emerged, the cultural impact they had on Black storytelling, and why their style, soundtracks, and characters still influence movies today. From the gritty street heroes to the soulful scores, we break down what made the era iconic and complicated.

Drew also shares his personal Top 5 Movies, plus a few honorable mentions pulled straight from the Threads community. Expect nostalgia, film history, and a couple laughs as we unpack the films that shaped a generation and still hit hard today.
