Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander is behind the wheel, between gigs, and he's excited.

The first annual Healthy Living Expo is coming to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront on May 2nd and 3rd, 2026. Neptune Park is the epicenter. And Dr. Hakeem has a booth.

He just ran into Robin at Bad Ass Coffee – a jewelry artist he hadn't seen in a while. She makes stunning quartz and copper pieces as Lunar Orchid Jewelry. When she heard about the expo, she wanted in. So he offered to share his booth.

He's also hoping Phil Sessions, a capoeira instructor from Chesapeake, will join him for a live KappaGuerra demonstration. Nothing locked in yet. But the energy is building.

This episode is part announcement, part reflection, and part invitation. Dr. Hakeem opens up about launching HypnoAthletics 20 years ago, getting distracted by shiny objects, and always coming back to his core mission: healthy living and self-defense.

What you'll hear:

· What's happening at the expo (puppy yoga, 5K, pet adoptions, vendors, music)

· How a chance reunion led to sharing a booth with a local artist

· His hope to turn Virginia Beach into a recognized wellness destination

· A candid look at staying aligned with your purpose for two decades

· Where to find more: healthylivingexpovb.com and kappaguerra.com

Press play. Hear it straight from Dr. Hakeem – no script, no polish, just real excitement from a man who's been living this mission since 2007.
