In this interview we speak with Coss Marte, who was once leading one of the largest illegal drug delivery rings in New York City. Today he runs a fitness business that employs over 60 formerly incarcerated individuals and has helped over 70,000 people improve their health. This was not a fast journey and one that included childhood adversity, arrest, prison time, remorse, redemption, and self-realization. I was moved by Coss’s heart and motivation to that allowed him to navigate a system and society riddled with bias and inequity, ultimately giving him the leverage to begin reshaping the system itself.
