Danny Trejo, an actor and\xa0Hollywood Icon, joins me today to discuss a few of the stories from his new memoir, Trejo. Hearing these stories should remind you that it never matters where you are or how you start in life, it only matters how you decide to respond. Yes it\u2019s hard, yes all excuses and reasons you have to not try and give up are valid, but ultimately the choice is yours to make. Danny\u2019s story is beyond inspiring when you see someone come from a mindset and situation that consumes and devours over 90% of the people engulfed in that life. Which really means, anything is possible and your potential is nearly limitless.\xa0Order Danny Trejo\u2019s new book, Trejo: https://bit.ly/trejolifebook\xa0\n\nSHOW NOTES:\nBoxing Champ | Danny shares his time in San Quentin Prison and being a boxing champ [1:12]\nNo Love | Danny explains growing up with no love in the home born into the Trejo gang [2:28]\nDanny\u2019s Mentor | Learning life skills from a mentor that was criminal in same situation [3:09]\nPrison Life | Danny on surviving prison and being tough because of his uncle [5:56]\nRehabilitated | Danny\u2019s gratitude for a troubled past and why he\u2019s as grateful as he is now [9:14]\nConfessions | Danny on why his book is so raw and not sugar coated, it\u2019s the real Trejo [10:19]\nRedemption | Danny on taking inventory and questioning his behaviors and his mottos [12:38]\nTaking Out Trash | Why Danny began taking out trash for old neighbors, new reputation [13:56]\nService to Others | Danny on why helping others is so important to the way he lives [17:15]\nArguments | Danny on the bottomline of arguing, not engaging and the toxicity of it [22:13]\nLegacy | Danny reveals the love is his family and the legacy that holds value for him [25:51]\xa0\n\nFollow Danny Trejo: \nTwitter: https://twitter.com/officialDannyT\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialdannytrejo\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialdannytrejo/?hl=en\n\nCheck out our sponsors:\xa0\nPaleo Valley: Visit paleovalley.com and enter code impact for 15% OFF your first order.\nMindPump: Download their FREE guide at fatlossimpact.com\nBlinkist: Go to https://blinkist.com/impact Try it FREE for 7 days and save 25% off your new subscription.\nTen Thousand: Go to tenthousand.cc and enter code IMPACT to receive 15% off your purchase!\n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nIf you\u2019re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.\nThis is not for the faint of heart.
