Not all leaders are loud — and not all impact is visible at first.

In this episode of THE PARABLES®, I sit down with Marissa Almendarez to talk about purpose-driven leadership, mentorship, and what it really means to make good moves in business, fitness, and life. This is a conversation about service, humility, and staying true to your values while building something meaningful.

Marissa shares how she grew from trainer to leader, launched a nonprofit rooted in integrity, and learned to lead without needing validation or attention.

We cover:

• 🧭 Purpose-driven decision making
• 🤝 Mentorship and leadership development
• 🧱 Building trust through consistency
• 🧠 Identity, confidence, and self-belief
• 🔥 Discipline without ego
• 🏛️ Legacy through service

If you’re building something meaningful — even when it feels unseen — this episode will remind you why it matters.
