In 2016, my brother Héctor died unexpectedly. As a way to honor him and his life philosophy, I created a website, a YouTube channel, and now this podcast using an idea he explored in a text he wrote back in 2005: What If I Say Yes? I hope you enjoy these interviews and start thinking differently about your own life: When and what do you say yes (and no) to and why?
