Alex and I met when I was in the process of purchasing a Peloton bike and we've been friends ever since. His story as a first generation immigrant is inspiring to say the least. Join on us on the couch as we talk about everything from his early beginnings, his faith and his new book, Activate Your Greatness.

      She's smitten on this tall, yellow, bald, big earred man who always looks starstruck and who I wish she would drop - but she's not. I worked at several events and dinners in Atlanta and I've seen her with the same guy (4) times, holding hands - until cell phones and cameras come out. He's already learned to step out of pictures.

    I truly love this episode with AT it's not how you started. And I love how he was so thankful and humble while mopping the floors, but he saw an opportunity to learn while holding that MOP. All it takes is one person to believe in you. A closed mouth never gets fed.

  • @Theprosperityqueen

    I just finished listening to Season 3, Episode 4 of your podcast, and I felt compelled to share my thoughts. Firstly, kudos on securing Alex Toussaint as your first guest this year. His story, as a first-generation immigrant who has risen to such heights of success, is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
    Alex's journey resonates deeply with me, particularly his incredible work ethic and his ability to seize every moment. It's a testament to the fact that hard work and dedication can lead to extraordinary achievements. His perspective, as an immigrant, brings a fresh and dynamic approach to life and success, something that often goes underappreciated.
    The part of the conversation about Alex's book, "Activate Your Greatness," was particularly engaging. The title itself is a powerful call to action, and hearing him discuss it was motivational.
    I also found a personal connection in your episode. My fiancé, originally from Belize, shares a similar outlook on life. This mindset, often seen in immigrants, of seeing more possibilities and relentlessly pursuing them, is genuinely remarkable. Their journeys, marked by resilience and a unique global perspective, are not just inspiring but also educational in many ways.
    As a coach who often works with women from diverse backgrounds, I've observed that those with family roots in other lands bring extraordinary dedication and unique insights, leading to record-breaking results. Their stories and perspectives add a rich tapestry to the learning environment, making each session more impactful.
    Thank you for sharing this conversation with us. It's a powerful reminder of the diverse paths to success and the incredible potential that lies within each of us, especially when fueled by different cultural perspectives and life experiences. I'm looking forward to the next one! I will be sitting right here (smooches)

    Wify sent this to me, she know I move with AT on Peloton. If you ever took his class he's motivational and positive...if his vibe doesnt move you don't want to be moved. I'd get Saturday mornings and have AT and his playlist banging through the jumbotron in the basement. Big Up to him and great interview.
