FF 265 - How a Former Drug Dealer Built a Fitness Empire with Coss Marte
On today’s show Coss Marte returns. Coss was on the show way back on Episode 21. Back when Felony Friday was just building an identity. Now he returns as Finding Freedom is just getting started. Coss is the perfect example of how an individual put in the work to find their freedom. At the age of nineteen Coss was making more than $2 million per year selling illegal drugs using an elaborate delivery system. He reinvented how drugs were sold in his neighborhood and became the "Uber of the drug trade" before Uber even existed. At twenty-three Coss was arrested and convicted and spent more than 7 years in prison. During his incarceration Coss transformed his life. He lost 70 lbs in prison and changed his outlook on life. He shares how he went from running boot camps in the park to becoming a wildly successful entrepreneur and owner of a successful fitness company, ConBody. He also shares how he quickly pivoted when the pandemic hit and by doing so expanded his business when most of his competitors were closing down. Coss also co-hosts a podcast called Ex Dealer Ex Junkie. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this week's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc is joined by the Chair of the Libertarian Party of Los Angeles and current candidate for the Chairmanship of the Libertarian National Committee, Angela McaArdle.

In today's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc is joined by the Tom Woods-approved, fellow Top Tier Libertarian Podcaster, Alan Mosley, the host of "It's Too Late with Alan Mosley!" Alan details how he first became interested in the ideas of liberty while being raised in a very "screw the man!" culture in the South. Marc and Alan discuss libertarian messaging, and how libertarians need to become players in the mainstream culture in order to wield political influence, and how libertarians can best navigate the recent crazy events at the U.S. Capital. There's a lot going on out here in the wide world of liberty, and Marc and Alan provide their perspective from their view perched at the very tippy top of the libertarian podcast niche.
