Just A Cup - Nick Peck, award winning author, "Only Way Out" | S2E54
In this compelling interview on Just a Cup with host Bryan Fetzer, Nick Peck shares his extraordinary journey from a traumatic childhood in California to becoming an award-winning author and financial journalist. Nick’s story is a vivid testament to perseverance, transformation, and the power of sports as an escape and healing tool. He recounts playing high school football and navigating setbacks, including losing scholarship opportunities and reinventing himself as a long snapper—a highly specialized football role he taught himself through YouTube tutorials. After his athletic career, Nick pursued journalism with a focus on finance, deliberately steering away from sports reporting to challenge himself and avoid conflicting interests with athlete friends.
Nick discusses his tattoos, each imbued with deep personal meaning, reflecting his life experiences. His debut book, Only Way Out, loosely based on his life, centers on Jaylen Pierre, a young athlete grappling with poverty, trauma, and responsibilities while seeking an escape through football. The novel emphasizes themes of mental health, community, and resilience, encouraging readers to find hope and identity beyond hardship.
