  • Khalil Dorival - Motivation, Mental Health, and Music

    Today in the GRIND seat, my guest is Khalil Dorival a/k/a "Fly Guy" of Toronto, Ontario. Khalil is a Mental Wellness Coach, Author, Spiritual Leader, and Facilitator to Youth. In this conversation, we chop it up about the black culture in Canada, motivation, mindset, and music. 

    Khalil is the Founder of Khalil Dorival Enterprise (KDE). An organization dedicated to addressing the social and economical barriers that youth encounter through Mental Wellness workshops.

    His phenomenal drive and determination have pushed him to become an influential leader in his community. Having grown up in an at-risk neighborhood with divorced parents, it wasn’t a surprise when Khalil got in trouble with the law, hung out with wrong friends, had scholastic troubles, and struggled with financial obstacles. In the midst of his shortcomings and mistakes, he challenged himself to grow spiritually, mentally, physically - resulting in a successful turnaround of his life.

    His major goal is to inspire people to love themselves and in return love others. Known for his enthusiastic energy, Khalil is able to translate the trials and tribulations of life into relevant principles and coaching opportunities. His biggest dream is to impact the world globally by giving back to people what God and many mentors have invested in him. On his journey to success and personal well-being, his sole desire is to change lives, sowing seeds of hope and teachings to bring out the best in people.
