From walking away from a job that couldn't accommodate my role as a father to my turbulent upbringing in Fresno, I've learned that it’s our mindset in the face of obstacles that forges our path to success. Today's conversation with Carlos Vasquez, a testament to the power of second chances and self-reinvention, reminds us that victory isn't just about the success we attain, but the hardships we conquer along the way. Join us, as we explore the essence of winning against all odds.
