He shares his journey to losing over 300 pounds and what led him to create his million dollar sea moss gel business. Later he breaks down his experience on Shark Tank and what he learned from it. Tune in!
More about Alexiou:
Alexiou Gibson wasn’t always passionate about his health. But at just 21 years old, his doctor told him he wouldn’t live to see 30 if he didn’t make some serious changes. He began to research ways to support his weight loss and was reintroduced to the sea moss he loved as a child. Incorporating this superfood into his plan for diet and exercise, he lost an incredible amount of weight from 500 pounds and became inspired to introduce everyone to the amazing health benefits this hidden gem can provide.
Over the past 10 years, Alexiou has been recognized for his leadership, entrepreneurship, and community involvement and is the recipient of numerous awards and achievements.
Alexiou’s business originated out of love for his eighty-year-old grandmother. He wanted his grandmother to stay healthy and strong during the peak of the COVID-19 crisis. To help build her immunity system he would make her Sea Moss Gel lattes daily.
Alexiou started sharing photos, and videos on his social media platforms on the benefits of Sea Moss Gel with his family and friends. Immediately thereafter, he started to receive Sea Moss Gel requests from friends who worked in the healthcare field. After such positive feedback, Alexiou decided to give healthcare workers and people who were diagnosed with COVID-19 free Sea Moss Gel.!He provided Sea Moss Gel to people in need all within the process of being evicted from his home with his family.
Today, Alexiou has lost over 300 pounds, is the CEO and President of The Transformation Factory, and is a motivational speaker.
On May 20, 2022, The Transformation Factory appeared on the season finale of ABC’s Shark Tank. This was the first and only Sea Moss Gel to be featured in Shark Tank history. Initial offers from Kevin O’Leary and Barbara Corcoran were turned down in favor of a dual offer from Kevin Hart and Mark Cuban for $600,000.
