Coss Marte-  In 2009, Coss Marte was sent to jail as the ringleader of a multi-million dollar cocaine operation.

Then he launched ConBody a prison style bootcamp that has gained over 10,000+ clients and hires formerly incarcerated individuals to teach fitness classes.

Mitchell Gaynor-  Mitchell Gaynor: I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to have a “calling” to make a difference. A passion project that you turn into your life’s work is great for those who find it, but some of us, arguably the majority of us, we never figure out that one thing, that’s our thing - and that's ok, maybe even for the best. I’m focused on having a diversity of experiences in both my life and my career and am looking for chances to contribute to a campaign, a creative project or a team where I can both contribute my experience and learn new skills, where opportunity and expectation  aren't limited by what your job title or role might be. I say that to say, I’m not an exceptional person, just one who is able and curious. I am no expert of ideology like say a priest or a scholar, and certainly am not a standout in any particular hard skill like coding an app or fixing your car. But I am more curious about the world than many, and I am more willing than most to challenge my own ignorances in hope
