How do you rebuild your life when it feels like everything has been stripped away?
In this powerful episode of The Game Time Guru, I sit down with Chad Dunn — former inmate turned CEO & Co-Founder of MOVE Human Performance in Arizona. Chad’s journey isn’t about luck. It’s about grit, discipline, and choosing to keep moving forward one step at a time.
We cover:
- From BMX racer to football/wrestling → how early identity shaped his toughness
- The wrong turns: chasing adrenaline, drugs, prison—and how he reset from zero
- The “one in a row” mindset: stacking wins one day at a time
- Helping athletes & survivors: ACL tears, spinal cord injuries, burns, gunshot trauma
- Turning fear into focus and refusing to set limits in rehab or in life
- Building MOVE Human Performance: why he became the “Uber of PT” and grew it from scratch
- Lifelong learning: why you’re either growing or decaying
- Chad also shares insights from his upcoming book, Mind Over Virtually Everything (releasing October 28, 2025 on Amazon), where he lays out lessons on identity, resilience, and making every move a calculated step.
If you’ve ever felt like you were starting from zero—or stuck in recovery, rebuilding, or redefining yourself—this episode is your playbook.
