After spending ten years in federal prison, Hector Guadalupe came home with an obsession for fitness, in great health, and hungry for work. He also came home to a lot of closed doors.

He also founded A Second U Foundation, which educates, certifies and secures employment for formerly incarcerated people as certified personal trainers.

Founded in 2016, Second U has graduated 196 trainers with 0% reoffending (national average of recidivism is 40%-60%). Second U truly is the place where justice and wellness meet.

Speaking with John on the Impact Podcast, was a great experience, said Guadalupe. This was truly the first interview Ive done where I felt genuinely pumped and excited that the message was getting out. It was clear to me that the Impact Podcast is spreading hope and voicing the success stories of those whove survived the struggle, and I deeply appreciate that.

It was an honor to have Hector on our show to tell his incredible story and share the impactful work he is doing with A Second U Foundation, which is sure to move and inspire our audience, said Shegerian.
