On this episode, I'm excited to share my interview with J.R. Gonzales.  J.R. shares his remarkable journey from growing up in South Texas to becoming a successful entrepreneur, speaker, and podcaster.  He's also a proud Texas State University graduate.  

J.R. recognizes his Latino heritage as a superpower that changed the trajectory of his life and career.  He traces his family roots to the 1700's and says 'my ancestors never crossed the border, the border crossed them."  

A passionate and engaging storyteller, J.R. Gonzales talks about the importance of family, culture and education.  

You will learn how: 

• J.R. navigated Texas State University in the late 1970s as one of the few Latino students
• Family can support a growth mindset
• Education is a tool to combat discrimination
• Why the Latino Business Report podcast was created 
• J.R. met six US presidents and stood on the Great Wall of China 13 times
•  Confidence and social intelligence are key elements of success
•  Asking the right questions shapes your future
• Swimming with Ralph, the swimming pig, impacted the course of J.R.'s career
