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!
