The Power of Purpose: A Conversation with a Breakthrough Specialist

In a stirring episode of Make it Count, host Michelle Latocha welcomes a special guest whose life journey exemplifies resilience, transformation, and the courage to pursue purpose. From the projects of Western New York to the heights of championship boxing, top-charting music, and published authorship, his story is one of grit, growth, and giving back.

The message he brings is clear: “There’s a hero and there’s a coward. They both feel the same fear—what they do with it makes the difference.”

Destined Encounters and Shared Purpose

Before the camera started rolling, Michelle expressed her belief in the universe’s timing, hinting that the connection between her and her guest was no coincidence. Having crossed paths before, their reunion now felt deeply aligned—like a moment that was meant to be. The guest echoed this feeling, describing the encounter as part of a larger, gravitational pull toward purpose and alignment.

“We’re interconnected anyway,” he said, setting the tone for a conversation rich in introspection and shared human experience.

A Life Built from the Ground Up

The guest opens up about his beginnings—born in Western New York and raised in the projects, surrounded by challenges that threatened to derail his future. Many of his peers ended up dead or incarcerated, but through the grace of God and a powerful internal drive, he found a different path.

He attributes much of his success to the mentors and supporters who believed in him, who poured into him the confidence and guidance he needed when the world doubted his potential. “Potential cannot be measured,” he reminds us. “If someone can identify the greatness inside of you, they can help activate it.”

Wearing Many Hats: Champion, Artist, Author, and Mentor

Beyond being a champion boxer, the guest has made his mark as a top-40 recording artist and a published author. Each of these achievements, he insists, is the result of resilience, focus, and a deep sense of mission.

In the ring and in life, he’s learned that pain has a purpose. “The purpose of pain is to produce power,” he says. “It helps us relate to others and gives us the tools to help them.” This perspective fuels his work as a life coach and mentor, particularly for those who are struggling to find their breakthrough.

The Call to Greatness and the Inner Voice

Michelle shares her own background in fitness and her deep sense of always having been meant for more—an intuition her guest resonates with completely. For him, that sense of calling was accompanied by a gravitational pull that brought the right people into his life at the right time.

He speaks passionately about being known as the “Breakthrough Specialist”—a title earned not just through his accomplishments, but through the inner work and external support that helped him overcome tremendous odds. From being told his positive music would never succeed, to achieving top chart rankings, to winning three boxing titles despite being labeled “too gentle,” he has defied expectations again and again.

A Vision Born from Pain: Writing Think Fearlessly

The COVID-19 pandemic dealt a crushing blow to his career plans. Selected to host a television show in the U.S. West Coast, his dreams were abruptly stalled when travel became impossible. Devastated, he turned inward—praying, meditating, and seeking clarity. That’s when the vision for his first book, Think Fearlessly, came to him.

“Fear is not a bad thing,” he explains. “It’s what we do with it that matters.” The book was born from this understanding and the adversity he faced. But it wasn’t an easy process. Halfway through writing, he considered quitting. “I felt naked,” he admits, grappling with the vulnerability that came with sharing his truth. But he persevered, recognizing that transparency is the key to helping others heal and grow.

His motivation? Empowerment. He wanted to use his experiences to help others push through their pain and emerge stronger.

A Message That Resonates

Michelle, visibly moved, shares her reaction to Think Fearlessly. She couldn’t put it down. “Your message is so pure and divine,” she says. “People need that nowadays—they want to relate to someone who understands.”

As they transition to discussing his second book, it becomes clear that his work is far from over.

Confronting a Dark Reality with Hope

The second book arises from his work with survivors of trafficking. For years, he has focused on those who have endured unimaginable abuse, offering support and a path forward. While he acknowledges the horror of the acts committed, his focus is on healing and resolution. “It’s a $150 billion industry,” he notes. “But there’s not enough money in the world to justify one lost soul.”

His work is about speaking life into the brokenhearted and finding simple, yet profound, ways to bring change to a deeply conflicted society.
