Left to Inspire leftspire

Welcome to Left to Inspire! The show where we interview amazing humans that are absolutely crushing it in life and we dive into their stories to learn how they got to where they are today. This episode features David Gonzalez, an incredible human being that I'm privileged to call a friend. He's a father, a husband, a business owner, and one of the most connected men in marketing through his popular event that he hosts every month – The Internet Marketing Party. He's going on nearly 13 years of hosting a monthly event with amazing guest speakers at each one of them in the heart of downtown Austin.
In this episode, we dive into discussions around self-improvement, neuro-linguistic programming, and paths to taking consistent action for growth and progress in your life. We also talk about how he started the event company that has opened the door to so many opportunities for him and has empowered him to become a superconnector and a well-known name in marketing.
FREE Gift: The quiz that we mention in the interview is under development (COMING SOON).
Enjoy the episode and make sure to pay close attention when we talk about Internet Marketing Party. This organization has had a huge impact on my life and continues to manifest more and more my way and I know it can do the same for you. With nearly 13 years of recorded events, trainings, and webinars within their website, you have the opportunity to find basically any answer to your business that will empower you to reach that next level you're looking for. The world deserves to hear your message so don't let not knowing something prevent you from taking action. All of the answers are out there waiting for you to find them.
And remember, all of my recommendations in this show come from a place that truly gives a shit about you. I'm dedicated to giving you all of the tools necessary to make your dreams become a reality. Sometimes we just need a little bit of guidance and that's okay! I know I need support now and will continue to do so as I make my impact.

Welcome to Left to Inspire! The show where we interview amazing humans that are absolutely crushing it in life and we dive into their stories to learn how they got to where they are today. While most episodes will include a featured guest and you'll get a FREE user journey (i.e. quiz, challenge, etc.) into that person's world, this episode is a solo talk where Emanuel (host) shares how this podcast will help you unlock your potential and his origin story.
As you see in the episode title, I was undocumented for 10+ years of my life in the United States. Always lived in the shadows and blamed everyone else for my misfortune... but little did I know that one incident at the age of 15 would allow to shift my mindset and beliefs, to ultimately transform my life. Going from $100 being the most money I had ever seen to making just shy of $100,000 at the age of 18. This episode dives into the pivotal moments that have gotten me to where I am today.
Enjoy the episode & I hope that this episode inspires you to share your story with the world. You deserve to be heard and your story could just be that one thing that someone needs to hear to get them to take action (or not take action if they're planning to end their life).
Know that this show comes from a place that truly gives a shit about you and I'm dedicated to giving you all of the tools to make your dreams become a reality. Sometimes we just need a little bit of guidance.
