His recollections of his mother's unwavering love and the prayers that shaped his outlook . From ruling the roost as the youngest manager of a call center at 18 to turning the tables and starting his own business, Edwin's life is a testament to the transformative power of mentorship, self-belief, and the courage to take risks.Take a dive into this powerful conversation with Edwin as we explore his burn and how "problems" have shaped his story. Edwin Arroyave is the CEO and Founder of Skyline Security Management. He was born in Colombia and moved to Los Angeles as a toddler with his parents and older sister.

In early 2009 Skyline became an authorized dealer for Monitronics, a much larger company and within 8 months, became one of their top 3 dealers. Currently Skyline is the largest authorized dealer of Brinks Home Security.Guided by Edwin, Skyline continues to see double-digit growth, tripling the number of installs in  just the last 7 years and expanding to 32 states.  Inc.

This week's episode of the show is SPECIAL. We're digging into the topic behind my brand new book, The Standard, which releases August 1st, 2023.Over the last 18+ years of coaching some of the highest performers in the world in sports and business, I'd like to think I know a thing or two about what a high Standard looks like. After taking a walk with my mentor Jon Gordon last year, it hit me... I had to write this book and identify what it looks like for someone to live to Standard in THEIR life. In this episode I cover some very important topics that made it into the book, but also shamelessly telling YOU that it is one you don't want to overlook.
