Born in a shelter. Raised in chaos. Fed from trash cans.
Joshua Tate’s story isn’t about pity - it’s about power.
From dumpster diving in L.A. to walking onto a Division 1 football team, from losing his father to working 110-hour weeks, Joshua turned every struggle into a stepping stone. When life hit hardest, he chose faith, family, and purpose over fame.
In this episode of The Success Nuggets Podcast, David Abel unpacks how Joshua built himself from the ground up — and why his greatest victory isn’t success, but fatherhood.
🎧 A must-listen for anyone who’s ever had to build without a backup plan.
