This episode is extra special for me because I get to welcome my son, Joshua Garcia to the Better Never Stops Podcast.  His journey hasn't been the easiest.  He faced real struggles in high school - but instead of giving up, he pushed through, grew, and ultimately graduated from college.  Along the way, he never let go of his passion for music, using it as both an outlet and a driving force.  Today, Joshua balances that creative spirit with a career at one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the world.  His story is one of resilience, growth, and finding your own rhythm, and I couldn't be any more proud to share his voice with you.  Better Never Stops!  Joshua never stops!
