From Convict to CEO
Freed in 2021, Carlos’s insatiable hunger for knowledge led him to the Drucker School of Management, where he earned a degree in entrepreneurship. Armed with his education, he founded How To Battle – not merely as a coaching business but as a transformative movement. Through this venture, Carlos shares his empowering message, offering keynote speeches and workshops in diverse arenas, ranging from academic institutions and foster homes to organizations and the very prisons he was once confined in.
In spite of the bars that confined him, Carlos’s spirit remained unshackled. He pursued education, attaining a degree in psychology, and transformed his tribulations into cornerstones of personal evolution. From the silence of his cell emerged The PRICE: Five Principles to Break the Bonds of Trauma and Achieve Personal Success. Published in March 2023, this book has since illuminated paths for many across the globe, heralded in educational institutions as a torchbearer of hope and a blueprint for achieving success.
Now rooted in Los Angeles, Carlos tirelessly propels others forward, converting his own saga of struggles into an emblem of hope and personal transformation. His signature talks delve deep into leadership, teamwork, overcoming adversity, resilience, unwavering accountability, and the quintessential five principles that have steered his life’s course.
