Steve sits down with Walberto Vasquez of The Tent Company in Houston to unpack the full-circle story of a family business built on resilience, hard work, and deep-rooted values.

From humble beginnings—including Walberto’s father immigrating from El Salvador during a civil war—to co-founding a growing tent manufacturing business, Walberto shares how trusting others, delegating, and stepping away at the right times allowed their company to grow. They discuss the emotional weight of entrepreneurship, balancing family and business, and the importance of giving yourself permission to breathe.
