Hi, my name is Kwame Christian and I am the founder and

are on the other side of difficult conversations and we are passionate about providing you with

the best content that will help you to make your difficult conversations easier, both at work

virtually and in person, all around the world. Our focus is in three main areas. First, negotiation and conflict

resolution, second, leadership, and lastly, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

And now, without further ado, let's jump into the interview.

David, thanks for joining us today.

Thank you so much for having me, Kwame. I'm very excited to be here. It's an honor. Yes, man, I am excited to have you. I know we had to overcome obstacles, technical difficulties to make this happen. But in the spirit of resilience, we pulled it off. It's wonderful. It's magnificent. I'm glad we're here. Yes, we did have some issues, technical difficulties, but we're here now. So, yeah, awesome. That's what matters. Yeah. So how would you start us up by telling us a little bit about yourself and what you do? Yeah, absolutely. So my name is Devin Leos, a former Disney Channel actor. Also, someone who is formerly incarcerated. I was on a show

called Mighty Med, where I was the starring, one of the starring and co-starring roles. I did 46 episodes,

so that's pretty much what a lot of people know me for. But after the fame and stuff kind of

stopped, I had one of those typical child actor stories spun out of control, you know, went down a bad path and hit rock bottom essentially, but then turned my life around

five years ago and became an entrepreneur. So now I operate in the public relations and

communications sector. And yeah, that's where I'm at today. So that's who I am.

Yeah, man. Well, we're going to get a bit deeper into that story. And I just admire your resilience for coming back because not everybody does that.

And in this episode, listeners, what we're going to do is we're going to kind of explore Devin's story and talk about the difficult conversations that have made who he is today.
