EP178: Dominic Fusco on Surviving Cardiac Arrest and Impacting Millions

The Define Success Podcast with Matt Lupi

In this episode of the Define Success Podcast, Dominic Fusco shares his story. Dom is a content creator, the co-founder of UpSpace, podcast host and an incredible human.

Dom is on a mission to build communities around health and wellness with his team at UpSpace. Through sharing workouts, curating online chats and hosting in-person events, Dom excels at making fitness fun and providing an outlet for people to hang out without alcohol or eating unhealthy foods.

On Instagram, Dom posts invaluable content related to his fitness journey, nutrition tips, and journey of building a community in Austin, Texas.

In this episode, we dive into his experience of betting on himself after college where he reinvented himself as a man, lived at home off of a $25k salary and poured everything he could into his business, personal development, friendships and family. Through his progress, he built a large following, and eventually made a move to his new home in Austin.

8 months ago, Dom was on a track in Austin where he attempted to PR on the mile. Shortly after, he went into cardiac arrest and spent nearly a week in the hospital, not knowing what comes next. Today, he is in the best shape of his life, truly loves what he does, and is using his story as a testament to Gods work. I hope his story inspires you as much as it does me.

We touch on Dom's faith journey, how he defines success, what it is like to move away from home, hot takes around mental health and much more.
