I first came across Alexi Ruiz (Alexi Style Official) during a musicality workshop—and within the first 15 seconds, I knew I was watching someone operating at a completely different level.

Coming from a background in Human Performance and Injury Prevention, I’ve been trained to break down what makes a great coach or teacher versus an average one. It’s not just about knowledge—it’s about how you communicate, how you make people understand movement, and how you transfer skill.

Alexi does that at a master level.

This conversation was less of an interview and more of two people getting lost in the weeds—in the best way possible. We talk about his journey, Japan, learning Japanese, my time living in Egypt, emotional growth, boarding schools, and just life as a whole.

No script. No structure. Just a real, honest conversation.

Hope you enjoy it.
