Whatever Happened To Nick Tokman From Deadliest Catch?

A basic Google search for Nick Tokman will bring up, among many other pages, his website, where he is now billed as a motivational speaker at schools, universities, and corporate functions all over the United States. As the "About" section of Tokman's website explains, "Deadliest Catch" was a major boon in the former fisherman's sense of self and confidence, and at a time when he felt particularly aimless and unfulfilled.

Apparently, from the moment he first saw "Deadliest Catch," he decided that this was what he wanted to do. "Four years later, after embarking on his journey, after persevering through a series of setbacks and failures, including hospitalization, running out of money, and battling homelessness, Nick landed on the very show that inspired him to venture to Alaska."

Not long before leaving "Deadliest Catch," Tokman did an interview with music outlet Louder Than War. " I want to work with kids," he said. "After this season's over, I am leaving the show to pursue a career in motivational speaking ... I'm a very spiritual person, and I feel that going up to Alaska was a path I was supposed to take on my journey through life. I feel my path now is to motivate kids." Mission accomplished, as, according to his website, Tokman has spoken to crowds of up to 17,000 people.
