Carmelo Rodriguez

Carmelo Rodriguez is a certified life coach and motivational speaker with a unique ability to help people take their lives back, because that's exactly what he did for himself. After surviving a combat tour in Iraq, Carmelo returned home to find that a government glitch within The Veteran Affairs (VA) had declared him dead anyway. That ordeal lasted a grueling two years.

His fight for his life was the hardest thing he'd ever done: harder than the grit of combat and harder than the deprivation of his childhood. His daily affirmation of life against a swarm of faceless entities determined to declare him dead kindled within him a burning drive to seize every moment. Now Carmelo helps others that life has shortchanged or cast aside to fight for their own lives. His background in the military, law enforcement, and crisis intervention qualifies him to direct the action people must take to live fully. He efficiently analyzes the mindset and lifestyle goals required, supplies the necessary knowledge, and promotes awareness of self-destructive actions so that his clients gain a specific action plan, clear focus, and burning motivation.

For those who feel that the life they want is beyond their grasp, Carmelo has a resounding message: stop just existing and fight for your life.
