Summary

On today’s show Coss Marte returns. Coss was on the show way back on Episode 21. Back when Felony Friday was just building an identity. Now he returns as Finding Freedom is just getting started. Coss is the perfect example of how an individual put in the work to find their freedom. At the age of nineteen Coss was making more than $2 million per year selling illegal drugs using an elaborate delivery system. He reinvented how drugs were sold in his neighborhood and became the "Uber of the drug trade" before Uber even existed. At twenty-three Coss was arrested and convicted and spent more than 7 years in prison. During his incarceration Coss transformed his life. He lost 70 lbs in prison and changed his outlook on life. He shares how he went from running boot camps in the park to becoming a wildly successful entrepreneur and owner of a successful fitness company, ConBody. He also shares how he quickly pivoted when the pandemic hit and by doing so expanded his business when most of his competitors were closing down. Coss also co-hosts a podcast called Ex Dealer Ex Junkie. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
