About this listen

What are the odds? Statistics tell us that African-American males who grow up in a single-parent household are nine times more likely to drop out of high school and 20 times more likely to end up in prison than any other demographic. But what would it take for one young man not only to rise above those statistics but also become a Navy SEAL, actor, entrepreneur, writer, and successful husband and father?

In Transformed, Remi Adeleke takes you back to stories from his childhood, from living as Nigerian royalty to losing his father early in life and being financially stripped of everything by the Nigerian government. He delves into being raised by a single mother in the Bronx and doesn’t shy away from his illegal activities as a young man that threatened to derail his future. At every turn, including throughout his naval career, Adeleke found a way to overcome the odds, even when it didn’t make sense. His is an inspiring story of true personal transformation.

What a story

Remi lived an incredible life and displayed some incredible human resilience and strength. A transformation of gripping highs and lows and with a story line you could near on not even make up.

I feel his life story was interesting but the book was not as deep or resounding as that of say David Goggins'. Well worth a listen though!

A solid 4*+

I highly recommend this story especially for active duty service people interested in SF.

I am doing a huge amount of training and the right audio book is a crucial part of the process. This book by Remi Adeleke is utterly brilliant. This would be my favourite audio book of all time and I have listened to so many. The story itself is incredible but he brings such passion and energy to the narration. You won’t be disappointed.

Utterly brilliant!!
