About the Episode
Turning a Negative to a Positive with Alejandro Vivar.
Special Guest: Jose Alejandro Vivar is a Champion Public Speaker, Endurance Athlete and founder of Non-Profit Fitness Initiative 25/7 Fitness.
Alejandro grew up in the Christie and Bloor St Neighbourhood of Toronto and from an early age was involved in a criminal subculture which eventually landed him a 16 year Penetentiary sentence.
Alejandro used that experience to develop his mantra “turning a negative into a positive” and in prison began to see different possibilities for his life and got a university degree and became a certified personal trainer.
Upon release however, his old life got up to him. He was shot five times in front of his entire family and almost killed. Yet he survived. Listen to Alejandro’s powerful story…
