Having a conversation with Coach Carlos a.k.a "Babalos" and getting to know him more outside the realm of fitness is been an eyeopening and a unique experience.

Taking a hiatus from the podcast because of Coved-19 was hard as I had to prioritize my own routine and responsibilities, but so many things has happened since I decided to make a comeback. Did not expect to re start my series with such a powerful one (2 hour.) but it happened and I want you guys to listen to it. The purpose was a personal one as I was conflicted and lost of words with the gruesome incident that happened to George Floyd, watching a man beg for his life while being hold by a knee on the neck was and still is hard to watch. As I use my platform to motivate others I needed to find the proper words send a message of what I felt, but instead I decided to listen and what better way to listen to my friends that were past guests here and what I have learned from them has brought us closer but also they helped me clear my words and feelings on this event and cause. I hope you learn and get the same feeling as I educated my mindset on this. Enjoy it and lets start changing the world

“Committed” Feeling dedication and loyalty to a cause, activity, or job; wholeheartedly dedicated.

Find out how he does it and what he is trying to achieve as I sit with him and get to learn from a person who is so young and yet dedicated to learning from us.
Curiosity, a strong desire to know or learn something. In today’s episode I get to sit down with my friend/client and talk about her road to success while being curious on what her future holds.

Sometimes you don’t need a plan to talk what’s in your heart, just a mic and a voice.
Authenticity: Representing one's true nature or beliefs. When I met Joe our gesture was hi and have a nice day.
