Before he became a reality television star and influencer, Terry L. Fossum was born in the poorest city in the United States, surrounded by gangs and drugs. When he has 14 years old, he was staring down the barrel of an assault rifle in his own back alley. In high school, his father was killed. Before he died, a neighbor came up and informed him “none of your kids will ever grow up to be anything.”

Terry overcame great odds to be the Executive Officer for an entire Group of nuclear B-52 aircraft. Following that, he entered into the business world, and reached the top fraction of 1% of his entire industry in the world.  Next, he became the #1 bestselling author on Wall Street Journal, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble, and bestselling author on USA Today.  His TEDxTalk was the #2 new TEDxTalk in the world, named ‘One of 30 TEDxTalks that made the biggest impact this century’.  As an international keynote speaker, he has inspired audiences into the thousands.  He entered acting, and won Best Supporting Actor and Fan Favorite at the 2021 Christian Film Festival.  He’s been the Host of shows like Made In America and Montana DOT.  He was named Lost Angeles magazine’s ‘2024 Person of the Year,’ and InsightSuccess magazine’s ‘The Most Impactful and Visionary Personality to Look for in 2025’. For fun, he enjoys time at his ranch in Montana, and fun-filled adventures like survival in the Amazon jungle, a solo expedition deep into the Arctic Circle, and trekking into the mountains of Rwanda searching for the elusive Silverback Gorillas, just to name a few.  With a passion for helping others, he further applies his leadership skills to philanthropic causes around the globe.  Most importantly to him, he’s a smitten husband, stepdad to 3 amazing young men, and a Scout Leader for many, many more.
