#107 No Conning This Man - Coss Marte, ConBody

felony inc podcast

A former guest, Coss Mart's background in a nutshell: In lacking health, energy and shape, Coss got inspired in prison and changed his lifestyle, body and mind. And he used this inspiration to start ConBody, a physical and online fitness company. Here's the latest: Coss's small space workouts, which were designed for the prison cell, now work for all the quarantined people during the pandemic! It's a life skill to be resourceful in prison and with so much of the population staying home and operating digitally, ConBody is the answer to staying in shape in this environment. And there's a special connection here. Our co-host, Meg Thibodeaux saw Coss' company pitch as part of Defy, a program to fund and sponsor companies started up in prison by inmates. Now a going concern with a tremendous reputation, Coss has kept his company going by hiring well. First of all, he hires employees he can trust, so things can be delegated. Secondly, a great work ethic so people will show up and perform. He partners with many non-profits companies to help put potential employees through their paces prior to hiring.
