About

ALEX PAYNE

Alexander Payne is a former police officer turned serial entrepreneur, podcast host, men’s mindset coach, and speaker dedicated to helping men find purpose, build confidence, and become the leaders they were created to be. His journey wasn’t easy. As an immigrant, he faced adversity from a young age, growing up in a home marked by abuse, addiction, and dysfunction. After discovering difficult truths about his own identity and spending years overcoming personal struggles, Alex chose to break the cycle and build a life rooted in purpose, faith, discipline, and personal responsibility.

Today, Alex is the founder of the You 2.0 Men’s Coaching Program and host of the Purpose Over Pleasure Podcast, where he helps men navigate life’s challenges, heal from their past, and create a future they can be proud of. Through coaching, speaking, and content creation, his mission is simple: to guide men toward becoming stronger husbands, fathers, leaders, and men of character. Alex believes that no matter where a man starts, he has the power to rewrite his story and become the man he was meant to be.
