E228: Getting a Third Chance in Life with Carlos Amaya

What does it take for you to find clarity in what you really want to do with your life? You obviously don’t want to wait for anything bad to happen, but sometimes, it takes some major turning points for people to gain that clarity – and courage.

In today’s conversation, Carlos Amaya shares his life journey, getting diagnosed with cancer and arteriovenous malformation (AVM), being told by his doctors that he had eight months to live, and ultimately, undergoing 12 brain surgeries. He started a career in the restaurant industry, then moved on as a consultant, doing radio for ten years, and now doing full-time real estate.

For Carlos, he’s now at the point of his life where he focuses on the things that matter the most – his family, his health, making an impact on the community, and doing things that align with his values.

Notable quotes from the Episode:

"When you try to plan, balance, and unplug yourself from the professional guy to the personal guy, you're exhausted and then you end up doing neither one of them.”

“Life is not really balanced. You have to be the same person in business and at home. You're the same guy.”

“When you start growing, and then you get different players in the organization, the culture changes.”

"Regardless of the network, how much money you have, people go through different struggles and you always have something to give and something to receive. So it's a win-win scenario."
