“It all starts with you”, “Never settle.” and “Don’t Die with your Dreams.” These are just a couple of Trent’s signature mantras that have helped inspire a generation
Considered as one of the most groundbreaking motivational speakers of his era, Trent has touched millions with his words on self-worth, self-love, and recognizing your greatness.
As an undrafted free agent in 2007, Trent played for Indianapolis Colts, Seattle Seahawks, and Washington Redskins. But nagging injuries and the up and downs of the NFL led Trent to another path on his journey.
After his short stint in the NFL, Trent had the opportunity to speak at a church event back home in 2011, and his world changed forever. After a sensational performance, it was undeniable to the audience and Trent that he found his purpose through inspiring others to live better lives.
He started creating YouTube videos with his words of wisdom and courage, pushing others to find their inner strength. He would end each video with the phrase, “It’s Rehab Time.” A statement that embodied his comeback from personal struggle and loss.
“Rehab Time is about rehabbing your life. It’s about becoming the person you are capable of being. The person you were destined to become.”
The videos went viral and before he knew it, Trent was speaking across the globe and packing arenas from New York, to London, Fiji, and Sweden.
His brand Rehab time exploded on the scene of personal development, creating a legion of “Rehabbers.” all over the world.
Trent credits his success and motivation to two pivotal moments in his life. The birth of his son Tristan and the tragic suicide of his best friend.
“I was at a crossroads of my life, and I had to make a decision on who I wanted to become. The beauty and tragedy of those two moments ignited a fire in me that changed my life forever. It fueled me to be a better man in every sense of the word. I wanted to be a better father for my son and I wanted to honor the soul of my best friend.
Trent is continuing his mission to be a beacon of light for a generation, by sharing the tools that build lasting change.
He wants all of us to recognize our internal gifts, so we can all do our part in impacting the world. Trent’s goal wasn’t to reach millions, it was to reach you. Let’s get it.
