Stop Waiting & Start Winning with Dre Baldwin

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.

After retiring from pro sports, Dre took the same mindset that fueled his basketball career and built a business empire helping 6-figure professionals scale to 7-figure success. 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.

Dre shares why structure is the engine behind discipline, how confidence is built through preparation, and why most people never succeed simply because they fail to take initiative. He speaks candidly about mental toughness, the danger of waiting to be "ready," and how to create momentum even in the face of fear or self-doubt.

If you’re ready to break inertia, take bold action, and finally work on your game — this episode is your playbook.
