From Super Bowl to Setback to Success ft. Setema Gali | Coffeez for Closers with Joe Shalaby

Published on: 7th November, 2025

In this episode, Joe sits down with Setema Gali — former Super Bowl champion turned leadership coach and founder of Game Changer.

Setema went from winning an NFL championship to losing it all — his cars, his home, even his Super Bowl ring — before rebuilding his life from the ground up. What started as door-to-door sales became a journey of faith, discipline, and redemption that now fuels his mission to help others do the same.

We talk about overcoming failure, turning pain into power, and why the comeback is always stronger than the setback. Setema’s story is proof that faith and grit can rebuild anything — if you’re willing to do the work.
