      Heartwarming; the enthusiasm that shows on his face speaking about his business. Man, I wish there was a frutero in my neck of the woods. As a child from similar surroundings, it was never about "making it out" for me as much as it was "getting out." Out of my little kid eyes, I took every chance to explore the idea of other places... safer places. Books, t.v. and visits out-of-town (E.L.A.) allowed for my dream to be made possible. There are terrible memories, and eventually a PTSD diagnosis (at age 30) 10 years after leaving that environment, but there are some similarities to this young man's stories. I wish him continued successes; glad to see where he has arrived so far... with that beautiful smile on his face.

      Thumbs up for all of the hurting and lost people who keep catastrophically messing up, who finally stop making those horrible decisions.

    I’m a 38yr old disabled Army OIF Vet. I started cooking in restaurants when I got out because I actually truly enjoyed it. I also give allot to the homeless yearly when it comes to food and clothing. I even gave away my favorite Cleveland Indians World Series hoodie to a sad homeless man lying on a bus stop bench in Cleveland at 5 in the morning while I went to work. (Which I don’t regret) It was snowing and so cold. Point being I love what this man does and if I had the money to do what he does I would do it in a heartbeat. I’m so happy someone like him found a way to make all of this happen. He’s truly a hero and an inspiration to so many.

      @Madd.Hustle because he's been incarcerated and a lot of people in society will hold that against him, no matter what he's done outside of all of that or that he served his time.

    As someone who got alot of help from my community as a young person I truly believe that as I grow older I want to give back to the youth. I am 24yo and I do alot in my community. We need people like him that have seen the reality of life and how hard it can get so people in that situation can see there is hope to change!

    "If you get in trouble because you're sad your friend died, you're disrespecting their memory."
    This is the kind of unfiltered speech that would get a social worker fired, but it's exactly what the kid needs to hear. Doesn't matter how many PhD's you have, someone that can actually speak their language will always be more effective.

    I am truly looking forward to these episodes as they come out, and this is my favourite segment this channel does. These stories are just about the only thing that redeem my faith in humanity, massive massive support to this man. You CAN make a diffe, you CAN turn your life around, after hitting the bottom. So, so nice to see 👏🏻
