Summary
What are the odds? Statistics tell us that African-American males who grow up in a single-parent household are nine times more likely to drop out of high school and 20 times more likely to end up in prison than any other demographic. But what would it take for one young man not only to rise above those statistics but also become a Navy SEAL, actor, entrepreneur, writer, and successful husband and father?
In Transformed, Remi Adeleke takes you back to stories from his childhood, from living as Nigerian royalty to losing his father early in life and being financially stripped of everything by the Nigerian government. He delves into being raised by a single mother in the Bronx and doesn’t shy away from his illegal activities as a young man that threatened to derail his future. At every turn, including throughout his naval career, Adeleke found a way to overcome the odds, even when it didn’t make sense. His is an inspiring story of true personal transformation.

So fascinated hearing of the life Remi has lived, and more importantly the obstacles he overcame. I couldn't stop listening to him speak.

Quality!
Well I didn’t see that change happening! I thought it was going to be “another” seal book but it is much more than that.
Great work Remi

A Door Kicker An Operator & True Inspiration !
This is not your usual book written by an elite military operator. More than just how he got into BUDs and underwent the toughest military selection there is. This is actually the story of a real life kid who's as flawed as they come. To be honest at certain points there's somethings that made him really unlikeable, BUT there is more to this Navy SEAL than I honestly expected. This is a story of the development and transformation of a boy to a man. A flawed boy and flawed man who worked hard, really hard and didn't have it easy. This is the story of a true Transformation. He's unique and after reading this twice, he's a real inspiration. This is more than a military book its a book about how our beginnings don't have to define our endings. Its a story of grit, determination and how we never know how people we meet can change our lives if we open our hearts and minds. I know for a fact Remi poured his heart and soul into this book his passion and honesty ooze from it and his narration. The story itself is about the development of his heart and soul and not just about how he ran 806 miles did 126hrs of PT amongst many other amazing physical things. He narrates it himself and to hear him Hooya and make the noise of the bell ringing gives this book a genuine authenticity. Being a SEAL gives us some reference of his training, but the book without the seal training would still be inspiring. I liked it and Im sure you will too.

Amazing story of never giving up and always pushing forward. Also shows how your past does not dictate your future and you always have the ability to change and improve throughout life no matter what is thrown at you!!

Engaging and motivating
There was much I was able to draw from this book and I am grateful to the author for taking the time to tell his story. I will recommend it to the young people in my life and hope they are motivated too.
