The day we’ve been waiting for - the day when our host Andres Gamboa is on the other side of the mic to share HIS time on the bookfield and the origin of this show that has made it to 250 EPISODES!!! Jacob Levine picks up the host mic and chats with Andres for an episode all about his origin story, his first sales school, and his greatest Pony Tale. Andres shares some behind the scenes on what it’s like to receive stories from guests, often for the first time. He shares his philosophy on curiosity and how that’s attributed to being able to connect with so many different types of people. This is one for the record books!
If you’re interested in learning more about Andres’ immigration journey, he shares more in depth in his book, The Cost of Citizenship - https://www.amazon.com/Cost-Citizenship-Familys-Persecution-Sacrifices/dp/1736804715
