He began to research ways to support his weight loss and was reintroduced to the sea moss he loved as a child.

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 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.
