My guest for this episode is Luis Concepcion, the owner of The Vivus Vici Brand.  He is 31 years old, Born in the Dominican Republic but raised in Inwood/Dyckman area of NYC. 

Like many I come from very humble beginnings, He had a mother who knew nothing else but work to provide and pay the bills. As a teen (13) he worked weekends and sometimes after school to help around the house. 

For a career, early on he knew I wanted to work with children so he started working at the summer camps as soon as he was eligible (15) and saw the impact a good mentor could have on the youth. Currently, he works as a borough manager at the NYC Dept. of Youth. 

Vivus Vici translates to Live & Conquer! It’s a part of a larger phrase but those words have stuck with my since I heard them in a movie (V for Vendetta). It’s the ability to overcome and any challenges in life and rise!!

I thank you for listening and definitely support the Vivus Vici brand as well as other small business owners such as him.

This episode was a switch up from my usual as it was not an interview.  I played a game of 21 questions with Jossie Garcia, Awesome Public School counselor and also my wife.  We searched the inner depths of our souls to answer the toughest questions ever.
