Starting inside the five. That's how author Troy YoungBlood describes the beginning of his life — born in Harlem to a teenage mother, her third child, starting from the worst field position imaginable and determined to drive the length of the field anyway.

In this Dream Chasers Radio interview, Dr. Yaya Diamond sits down with Troy YoungBlood to talk about his memoir BLAKDUDE — a story of ambition, hustle, discipline, and building a legacy. Troy shares how growing up in poverty, with an absent father and the weight of generational trauma, shaped his senior-year decision to break the cycle; how the discipline of sports and the rise of hip-hop culture transferred into multi-million-dollar business success; how a lifelong-goal Ferrari and a custom New York license plate gave him the name — and the brand — BLAKDUDE; and why mentorship from afar, especially Malcolm X's principles of economic independence, became his blueprint.
