On this week's episode of Next Level Minds I had the opportunity to sit down with Carlos Vasquez. He has a unique story that consists of him becoming homeless, addicted to drugs, and sleeping in an abandoned car. By 14 he had become a gang member and criminal causing destruction everywhere he went. At 16 Carlos’ best friend whom was like a brother to him killed himself in front of me causing him to develop PTSD and become a even more violent individual. He found himself in jail and a little after his ten years and was placed in solitary confinement for 3 years. Within his last 4 years of incarceration he educated himself and got a Degree in Psychology, Entrepreneurship, and became certified as a mentor helping transform the lives of men who had once lost all hope. Many of them are home today. Today, Carlos is an Entrepreneur, Motivational Speaker, Writer, Coach & Mentor. We discussed how to overcome trauma, the importance of having a strong mindset, ways to find your purpose, and much more.
