What happens when the success stories you're told don't match your reality? For Raul Lopez, this disconnect became the catalyst for creating something new. Growing up undocumented with a truck driver father who pushed college as the only path forward, Raul found himself disillusioned when mainstream success narratives felt unrelatable to his experience.

During our candid conversation, Raul shares how listening to the story of Nike's founder—who received startup funds and connections from his father—highlighted the privilege gap in popular success stories. This realization sparked his podcast "How Do You Say Success in Spanglish," where he interviews people of color about their unique journeys to various forms of achievement.

Whether you're feeling stuck in your career, contemplating a risky professional move, or seeking success stories that reflect your own background, Raul's journey offers practical wisdom for navigating change and building momentum toward your goals.
