Ever wonder how some people turn devastating setbacks into extraordinary success? Josh Galindo's story will leave you both humbled and inspired. 

Abandoned by his father at age one, losing an eye in sixth grade, sent to a lockdown facility in Mexico as a teen, and eventually dropping out of high school, Josh could have easily surrendered to his circumstances. Instead, he transformed each obstacle into a building block for an exceptional life and thriving business empire. But perhaps his greatest test came when his wife received a cancer diagnosis just as their life seemed to be hitting its stride.

"If we're going to lose the one thing I believe every human on the planet is entitled to, which is health, we're not going to get through this journey and at the end of it, just be given back something I'm entitled to on day one," Josh shares, explaining how this crisis became a catalyst for deeper purpose and even birthed a nonprofit that helps women preserve their hair during chemotherapy.

Throughout our conversation, Josh reveals his counterintuitive approach to success: "My big thing is excellence. Wake up and beat who you were yesterday." He explains why competing against others ultimately caps your growth and how finding team members who are "70-80% of you" actually leads to more sustainable business expansion than seeking perfect clones of yourself.

Whether you're building a business, overcoming personal challenges, or simply seeking to live with greater intention, Josh offers practical wisdom on forgiveness, identity transformation, and creating legacy through people development. His insight that "a business is made by the people" challenges conventional thinking about what truly drives organizational success.
