In this episode, we talk about the silence after the “no.”What do you do when you give your best—your story, your energy, your hope—and still the door doesn’t open? This one is personal. Raw. Real. Excited. After applying for two roles I truly believed were made for me, I got the email no one wants: “We’ve decided to move forward with other candidates.”But rejection doesn’t mean you lost. Not at all. It means you leveled up in visibility, experience, and clarity.You’re still called.Still trusted.Still on time.This episode is here to remind you that your value isn’t tied to a title—and that sometimes a closed door is a divine redirection.

In this special moment, I had the honor of volunteering and speaking to the amazing students of BAM Youth at the University of Southern California (USC).Through my keynote, “Your Brand Matters,” I shared my journey—from growing up in LA to working at Nike, building Fuel Pasión Podcast, and serving in my community. Most importantly, I reminded students that their story, values, and voice are the foundation of their personal brand—and that it’s never too early to start building it.Porque? Why give back? Because when you invest in the next generation, you’re helping shape future leaders, dreamers, and change makers.A huge thank you to BAM Youth for having me and for creating space for students to grow, lead, and be seen.Let’s keep pouring into each other and fueling pasión with purpose.

I’m celebrating 5 years of this podcast journey. I started with a simple idea—to share stories, inspire passion, and build community. It wasn’t easy. Starting was the hardest part.But here’s what I’ve learned:-Just start.-Be intentional and consistent. -Get started.You won’t have all the answers at the beginning. You’ll mess up. You’ll grow. But if you never start, you’ll never see what could’ve been.Thank you to every guest, every listener, and everyone who believed in Fuel Pasión. The best is yet to come.
