A beloved inspirational speaker and transformational teacher, Kute Blackson offers a fresh, bold look at spiritual awareness for a whole new generation. Born in Ghana, West Africa, Kute’s multicultural upbringing as the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father has spanned four different continents. His unique lineage lay the foundation for his approach to breaking down barriers and unlocking an individual’s true gifts and greatness.   Though Kute was raised all over the world, he had always dreamed of life in America. As if by kismet, he won a green card just after finishing school in London. He came to America alone just months later, with no connections or prospects. When Kute arrived in Los Angeles, all he had to his name were two suitcases and the dream of seeking out the spiritual and self-help icons who had inspired him when he was a boy.   Kute quickly learned that the “outside-in” approach favored by so many in the personal development space had to become an inside-out approach. So he decided

Coss Marte’s story is going to blow your mind!  You will not believe what happened to him in solitary confinement at the end of a 7-year prison sentence.  So, if you think you can’t change your circumstance or better your life, think again!   In 2009, Coss Marte was sent to jail as the ringleader of a multi-million-dollar drug operation. He was also grossly overweight and warned by his physician that his current lifestyle if left unchecked, would likely kill him.   Faced with this grim prognosis, Coss started to get in shape using the tools he had -- his prison cell and his own body weight. Within six months he lost 70 pounds and replicated his successful formula of bodyweight exercises with 20 other inmates.    Then he launched CONBODY, a prison-style boot camp that has gained over 70,000+ clients and has hired 50+ formerly incarcerated individuals to teach fitness classes.    Since the launch of his company, he’s been featured in over 200 major media outlets such as NBC, CNN, The New York Times, Men's Healt
