Meet
Terry L. Fossum

Terry’s life has always been an adventure. Growing up in the poorest city in the US, Terry was surrounded by gangs and drugs. In middle school, he found himself staring down the barrel of an assault rifle in his back alley.

When Terry was in high school, his father was killed.  Before he died one of the neighbors came up to him and said, “I just want to make sure you know something:  

Not a single one of your boys will ever grow up to be anything”

Watch the short, inspiring Biography segment on Terry:

But that was just the beginning of Terry’s story. He has since gone on to prove those doubters wrong by facing these and every challenge with determination, love, a sense of adventure, and a little science.

This approach to life is how Terry went on to win a survival TV show, write a WSJ #1 bestselling book, become a U.S. Air Force Officer, highly-successful business leader, and sought after keynote speaker.
 
Terry is also an Eagle Scout and Scout Leader, an award-winning actor, a global adventurer, a philanthropist, and a proud husband and stepdad to three young gentlemen.
 
He brings all of these successes to the table with his books, audios, videos, keynote speaking, and as a personal development coach, enabled others to reach goals they may have never thought possible in all areas of their lives.

When Terry’s married into 3 teenage and preteen boys, he called up his business partners to tell them he was retiring from being part of the Top 1% in his entire industry.  “I can always make money, but I have one chance to turn these three boys into honorable men – and I’m not going to mess that up.”

When the youngest turned 18 and was moving on, Terry  prayed “What do you want me to do next, God?  You lead and I’ll follow.”

Be careful what you ask for!  Within a few days he got an email out of the blue to be on a TV survival show.  Against former special forces members, military survival instructors, a mercenary who helped take out Saddam Hussein, and a 4th degree Black Belt.  As the oldest competitor on the entire show.  Teamed up with a complete novice; someone who had never even camped out in their back yard before. Representing all of Boy Scouts of America in his Scoutmaster uniform.

His partner overcame her fears and everything else that would hold her back, and became a fierce competitor.  They won.

Here’s 3 minutes of FUN excerpts from Terry’s TV survival competition!
Kicking & Screaming Reality Survival Competition aired Prime Time on Fox Network.
