In 2020, he had just signed a lease for a new space — then the pandemic hit.
The year his daughter was born, the gyms he partnered with shut down one after another.
The entire fitness industry was plummeting. Yet he defied the odds and opened a second location — then a third.
This episode’s guest, Alex, was once a student in Jasmine’s English class 13 years ago. His reason for joining back then? "The American Dream."
He never ended up going abroad. Instead, he took a completely unconventional path —
Unable to clock in, unable to fit into corporate systems, he fled his job at the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) after just six months.
He describes himself as an "INFP butterfly" — easily distracted, wild imagination — yet at his lowest point, driven by a dream, a tattoo, and a name, he got back on his feet.
"I can’t give up on the members who trust me," he says.
"In a black-and-white world, I want to be the red."
This is a true story of failure, uncertainty, responsibility, and rebirth.
If you’ve ever felt like you "don’t fit in the box," or if you’re hesitating in a dark place wondering whether to give up — this episode might just give you a reason to hold on.
