#35. Diversity Goals, Removing the Guilt of “Doing More”, and Excellence Defined by Jay-Z with Jorge Garcia (Founder of Hello Iconic) The Playhard Podcast
-
- Entrepreneurship
The competitive mind tells us, “there’s so much stuff I NEED to be doing right now” and it leaves you feeling guilty when resting.
Jorge Garcia is familiar with this voice.
It’s led him to a lot of success. Also, a lot of guilt. In this episode, we talk about healthy ways to handle that guilt, and the different definitions of excellence.
This episode is awesome – especially as a fellow Hispanic – to hear about Jorge’s move from Honduras to LA to grow and scale a global company.
Give it a listen!
