I grew up really poor in Boston, but my mom and dad and the level of poverty that they experienced as children was like to an even much higher degree. I have one image of me playing outside with a toy car in front of the house that we lived in. But my memories really become crisp and clear and more movie like when I got to Boston.
Why is it that, so often, we need to be brought to our knees in order to wake up to, and reclaim, what really matters? And, does that have to be so? These are just a few of the questions we dive into with my guest today, Diego Perez, best known for his virtual moniker, Yung Pueblo, which is both a reminder to him to stay grounded in a younger, growth mindset, and also a contained to frame this current season of work as a project that doesn’t constrain his own personal and professional growth. Diego’s new book, Clarity & Connection, shares many of his recent insights about life, meaning, love, work, self-awareness, and of course, clarity and connection.
