Carlos Vasquez is not just a name; he’s a force of transformation. An entrepreneur, author, speaker, and personal and professional development coach, Carlos’s journey from incarceration to inspiration exemplifies the profound might of resilience and determination.
At just 19, he faced a 20-year prison sentence. This tumultuous phase nearly broke him, yet an influential encounter with a chaplain during his time in solitary confinement sparked an indomitable spirit and journey toward self-awareness and purpose.
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 consulting business but as a transformative movement. Through this venture, Carlos shares his empowering message, offering keynote speeches and training in diverse arenas, ranging from corporate and academic institutions to foster homes to the very prisons in which he was once confined.
Despite the bars that held him, Carlos’s spirit remained unshackled. He pursued education, attained 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 saga of struggles into an emblem of hope and personal transformation. His signature talks delve deep into overcoming adversity, resilience, unwavering accountability, and the five principles that have steered his life’s course.
