He has worked with top industry leaders to optimize their businesses, maximize their productivity, create sustainable performance, improve their health, and elevate their leadership skills. In addition, he has helped companies turn ideas into multi-million dollar revenue-producing opportunities, along with assisting large corporations to target strategic partnerships and investors.   Prior to Alex’s successes, he battled over 8 years of crippling Major Depression that left him on disability, unemployed, and penniless. Doctors told him he should accept his situation and move on because they believed there was little hope he would get better. With a lot of grit, Alex defied the odds and soared out of the ashes into a life filled with unique accomplishments.  Outside of business, Alex is an outspoken mental health advocate. He does yearly fitness feats to raise awareness and money for mental health. In May 2021, Alex wore a 24 lbs vest and completed 1000 pull-ups, 2000 push-ups, and 3000 squats in 6 hours and 8 minutes, while raising $37,000. In May of 2023, Alex is planning to break the world record for most vertical feet rock climbed in 24 hours, being over 29,130 feet. Once again, his goal is to raise awareness around the stigma of mental illness and raise money for veterans' mental health.

After a really long break in navigating my career as a 20 something year old. 2022 taught me many lessons and one being how important the it starts with action philosophy is to me.  

As a career focused individual, 2022 helped me realise the importance of personal life in business. Without bringing your best self to the table, you can't do your best or bring out the best in others. Taking care of yourself should be your no.1 goal if you want success. Taking care of your health, sleep. mind , habits etc learning how to make decisions, how to have a healthy love life etc THEY ARE ALL IMPORTANT - I lost sight of how until I hit another rock bottom last year which caused many reflections and realisations - many topics important to be discussed which is why I'm excited to be back with greater intention to provide more value to listeners. 

Happy New year !

Key takeaways:

➢ If you do not hire, fire, train and reward on things that matter to you then your culture

becomes more or less meaningless

➢ A skill that differentiates people from the others is delivery. Can they deliver?

➔ Be action oriented

➔ About moving forward

➔ Not scared to put yourself out there

➔ You can hustle

➔ You can move things forward

➔ A growth/ positive mindset

➔ You are aware you can make change and allow things to happen

➢ The times you spend not doing anything allows you to put things into perspective

➢ “There is no point trying to fix a problem that by the time you are credible would be fixed”
