Are you standing at a crossroads in your child care journey—unsure whether to grow, sell, or just stay the course? Then you won’t want to miss this heartfelt and inspiring episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast. Join hosts Brian and Carol Duprey as they welcome back Rigoberto and Carmen Leal, a dynamic husband-and-wife duo who transformed their crossroads moment into a launching pad for renewed passion, legacy-building, and business growth.

 

Tune in to hear the Leal's story—from their early days in finance and car dealerships to their first challenging child care acquisition, all the way to being named Child Care Genius University Owners of the Year. In this candid conversation, they share how a pivotal moment—and the right coaching—helped them rediscover their excitement for the business and embrace the opportunity to work alongside their adult children. Now, instead of retiring, they’re planning schools four and five.

 

Listen in as Rigoberto  and Carmen open up about the ups and downs of working with your spouse, the lessons learned from tough beginnings, and what it really takes to build a multi-generational business. Their honesty, humility, and gratitude shine through, offering powerful encouragement to anyone who feels stuck or uncertain about what’s next.

 

Whether you're new to child care or have been in it for decades, this episode is a must-hear reminder that with the right support, the best is always yet to come.
