THE PATH OF RESILIENCE — A CONVERSATION WITH NICK CUSTER

At our sit-down with Nick "the manimal" Custer, we explore how his life embodies resilience and a refusal to accept limits. A longtime friend of the Do Something Cool community, Nick is an all around rad human who today thrives as a homeowner and father to his pup, Cheeba, while living life to the fullest in our hometown of St Charles, Missouri.

Nick recalls the accident at age sixteen that threw him from a moving truck and threatened his future mobility. With grit and determination he learned to walk again, turning a devastating setback into fuel for growth. In our conversation he shares the daily practices and mindset shifts that kept him going and the way he channels hardship into positive energy.

This interview is part of our Conversations series, where we highlight individuals whose journeys inspire strength and optimism. Stay tuned for the full Q&A with Nick, coming soon.
