Mista Yu: From Near-Death to Legacy-Building – An Unfiltered Blueprint for Faith, Family & Service

Yusef "Mista Yu" Marshall is a modern-day renaissance man: a chef turned minister, a government leader turned podcaster, and a stepfather whose wisdom on blended families birthed the powerful (and now rare) book The Heart of The Stepfather. A Brooklyn native who cheated death twice, Mista Yu transformed survival into service – founding the nonprofit Save The Children SC to empower youth through literacy and leadership, while building the "They Call Me Mista Yu" media empire to deliver raw inspiration, interviews, and even Giants football fandom.

Join us as Mista Yu shares:
🔥 His two life-altering "conversion stories" and how they forged his purpose
💙 The challenges and triumphs of building a strong blended family (and why it’s key to healing communities)
🎙️ Behind-the-scenes wisdom from his podcasts – from hard-hitting "mirror checks" on Inspiration Station to candid talks with change-makers
🌱 How Save The Children SC teaches kids to be "assets, not liabilities" to society
🙏 Why faith, resilience, and showing up – as a grandfather, leader, and storyteller – are the ultimate acts of rebellion

Tune in for a conversation about turning pain into purpose, and legacy into action.
