Meet Lui "Left Hook"

Most times I wonder how I even got to where I am.

I grew up and spent all of my pre-adult life living in the small village of Malton, a suburb of Toronto.

My immigrant parents had made a simple life for themselves, my two sisters and I. Their hard work and commitment to giving their children a better life did not come easy or without sacrifice. 

Most of my childhood and adolescent life was spent being bullied, trying to fit in and be accepted, and doing things I knew were not true to who I was. As such, this shaped the next 20 years of my life.

I graduated high school, became a father of twin daughters shortly after my 20th birthday, and started working in a factory to support my young family. Phew, talk about having to grow up quickly. My priority, much like my father's had been, was to provide for my family even if it meant working at a job I hated. Therefore I made it my goal to be the BEST at whatever I was asked to do. This translated into, promotion after promotion until I landed in the company's front office as an Account Manager. Amazing right? Well, at this point I didn't really understand how this could have happened to someone like me

You see, I grew up with the belief that I wouldn't ever be good enough and so regardless of the "good enough" things I had in my life, A Home, A Family, A Good Paying Job, I was still unhappy, but I kept on aiming to be the BEST at what I was doing and was living a "normal" life. Year after year and success after success in my career, I thought I had measured up and was "good enough" It was when my father passed away that I began a journey of self discovery. It started with depression, which lead to anxiety attacks, panic attacks, insomnia, multiple car accidents, and ultimately a divorce. Sounds devastating to some however all of these things where necessary parts on the journey of self discovery. It was the combination of these things that allowed me the courage to dig deeper into my core to understand why all of this was happening. Through various channels, such as marriage counselling, naturopathic healing and counselling, spiritual counseling, self discovery books, listening to several motivational speakers and a week long retreat of transformation and development through experiential learning known as the Hoffman Process, I learned how to better love myself. This lead me to where I am today, happily married with a blended family, successful entrepreneur, Franchisee of two Award Winning Kickboxing Fitness Studios, an Award Winning Real Estate Sales Representative, Certified Life Coach - Health & Nutrition, Cellular Nutrition Consultant, Podcast Host, and Brand owner of Stay Tuned with "Left Hook". And I am here for YOU!
