Episode 63 - Beyond the playbook: leadership from the locker room to the hospital halls with Nick Engbloom

In Episode 63 of Men Pursuing More, host Roger Maupin sits down with Nick Engbloom—a man whose life has been shaped by sports, service, family, and a deep commitment to people. Growing up surrounded by athletics, music, and the arts, Nick shares how being a multi-sport athlete, winning a state championship at Totino-Grace, and learning under influential coaches forged his discipline, teamwork, and leadership under pressure. He also opens up about the profound impact his brother with Down syndrome has had on his heart for empathy, advocacy, and seeing people for who they truly are.

Nick’s journey reflects a life committed to purpose and service. From studying journalism at Marquette to playing football at St. Thomas, and from nonprofit leadership to more than 15 years serving at the University of Minnesota and Children’s Hospital, Nick shares meaningful stories of impact, relationships, and mentorship. He highlights the powerful support of University of Minnesota football coach PJ Fleck, whose “Row the Boat” initiative has raised over $1 million for the hospital and its patients. Through entrepreneurship, leadership, and community involvement, this conversation reminds men that pursuing more isn’t about titles or success alone—it’s about showing up, serving others well, and finishing strong by investing in people.
