Welcome to the latest edition of the Business Outlook podcast, In this insightful episode, host Matthew Narvaiz, Journal Business Editor, sits down with Chris Baca, President and CEO of Yes Housing and founder of YDI.

Chris shares his incredible personal journey, starting from his humble beginnings in Albuquerque's South Valley as one of 11 children. He opens up about the economic challenges of growing up in a large family, and how his parents instilled in him the values of respect, dignity, and hard work, which became the foundation of his life's path. Discover how his early experiences, including working as a youth counselor and starting a small neighborhood drop-in center in an area aptly named "Dead Man's Corner," led him away from a corporate career and into the rewarding world of social services and community development.
