What's up, guys? Welcome to Right About Now. Hey. We're always getting right. And it's always about now. What makes you keep pushing forward? What got you? Something impacted you. Something made you that. Was it nature, nurture? What was it?
Perhaps a mix of both. My father is from Mexico. My mom is from Puerto Rico. My dad came over. I was like 13, 14, and then enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and earned his citizenship. So I think that growing up with that perspective as a first generation Latina, you see your dad being given the golden ticket.
And I think that, you know, I won the genetic lottery by being born in this country. But having a father who was drilled into us like everything. We are so incredibly fortunate to live in a country where you don't have barriers to do the thing that you want. It is on the back end of people who are having the hotspot and the audacity to do something that they are unqualified to do.
And so having that growing up, but then also realizing you're owed nothing. Getting into the country, congrats. Being born into this country, congrats, you're old jack squat. Everything that you have is on the back of your willingness to do the damn work. And so what it made me gritty knowing I'm owed nothing. I don't, just because I start a business doesn't mean my business should be successful.
Just because I start a business and it's successful doesn't mean I'm gonna be the top 1%. If I go in and my, my perspective, just like Simon Sinek says that this is an infinite game. There's no such thing as winning in business. You can win your own game, but many of us don't even define what the game we're playing is.
