    Steve Gallegos, Esq.

    I am on a mission to elevate others so that we may all contribute to society at a higher level. || U.S. Marine, Police Officer, Trial Lawyer, Singer-Songwriter, Entrepreneur, Communications Trainer, TEDx Speaker & Emcee, and Rule-Breaker.

    Hi there! I’m Steve Gallegos, and my life’s mission is helping people break free from limiting beliefs, rewrite their stories, and create lives they never thought possible.


    I believe in the power of leaving no one behind—a mindset I forged during my time as a U.S. Marine. Back then, I learned that lifting each other up is the only way to truly succeed.


    I’m a bit of a rule breaker (the good kind!). In fact, I once bent the rules so well, I convinced the President of the United States to help me become a U.S. citizen—ask me how! Your audience will love hearing how stepping outside conventional wisdom can lead to extraordinary success.


    My superpower? Showing people they’re more than just actors in someone else’s story. I teach them how to yell “CUT!”, take control, and become the writers, producers, and directors of their lives. I help people craft stories worth living—and sharing.


    And here’s the best part—I come prepared, bringing dynamic energy, engaging stories, and actionable insights. I make your job easy, keep the conversation flowing, and ensure you look like a total rockstar to your audience.


    Let’s create an unforgettable, high-impact episode that will leave your listeners saying, “Holy crap, I needed that!”
