Carlos Vasquez: From Convict to CEO

Carlos Vasquez’s story is one of redemption, resilience, and relentless growth. Freed from prison in 2021, he refused to be defined by his past. Instead, he pursued higher education, earning a degree in entrepreneurship from the Drucker School of Management — and founded How To Battle, a movement dedicated to transformation and leadership.
 
Carlos’s book The PRICE: Five Principles to Break the Bonds of Trauma and Achieve Personal Success has become a beacon of hope across the globe. Through his speaking, coaching, and leadership training, he brings his message of resilience and empowerment to corporations, universities, foster homes, and even back to the prisons where his journey began.
 
Carlos reminds us that no matter where you start, you can rise, rebuild, and redefine your story. His life proves that freedom begins in the mind.

Randy Wilstead: From All-American Athlete to Faith-Driven Leader

Randy Wilstead has been one of my lifelong friends—and truly one of the best human beings I know. His story is a testament to faith, perseverance, and living with purpose.
 
From his days as an All-American baseball player at BYU and Hall of Famer at UVU, to being drafted by the Montreal Expos, Randy’s journey is remarkable. But what makes him truly special is who he is: a devoted husband to Roxy, a proud father and grandpa, a man of faith, and someone who continues to give back in incredible ways.
 
He’s built a successful company, served his church and community for decades, and now works with Adaptive Ops to combat human trafficking.
