Abe Cruz is a successful businessman, renowned athlete, and motivational speaker. He is the founder and president of Forever Faith, a company through which he carries his message of hope and inspiration through fitness products, clothing and events, reaching millions of people around the world.
Like a scene from a movie, Abe Cruz was living a life of luxury, cars, clubs, and women one day and the next was busted, broken, and facing a 30 year prison sentence. Raised by a single mother in a drug-and-gang infested neighborhood of Los Angeles, Abe found his ticket out in competitive sports. All American by his teens he believed in his destiny to become a professional athlete. When an injury ended that dream, a downward spiral of events led to the worst decision of his life.
But hitting rock-bottom on the hard concrete of a prison cell proved the ultimate blessing. Flat on his back, all Abe could see was up. There he discover the true mindset of champions – faith. Not just faith in your own strength, smarts, and talents, but faith that puts God first and self second.
In these two episodes Abe shares his journey to zero and back to let listeners know there's a way through the tough times, tragedies, disasters, even their own mistakes and failures, to an incredible God blessed future. That's living the mindset of champions. That's forever faith!
Memorable Quote: “You can’t develop the mindset of a champion until you put God first and yourself second.” - Abe Cruz
