Episode Details

🎙️ In Part 3 of my conversation with Drew Fuentes, we talk about his move from Laredo to San Antonio, his early years bartending and how the nightlife scene helped shape his friendships, connections and future.

Drew shares stories from working at Johnny Carino’s, Dave & Buster’s and some of San Antonio’s most popular clubs and bars. He talks about meeting members of the Kumbia Kings, building lifelong relationships and becoming known as someone who could connect people with experiences and opportunities they may not have had otherwise.

We also discuss the biggest misconceptions people have about Drew, why he does not feel the need to change how others see him and why having a small circle of real friends means more than having hundreds of acquaintances.

The conversation gets deeper as we talk about protecting your peace, removing people who bring negativity into your life and whether it is selfish to only keep relationships that contribute something positive.

Drew explains why he may be an acquired taste but will always have the best interests of the people he loves at heart. He also shares his goal of eventually creating a nonprofit and reaching a level of financial stability that allows him to help others in a meaningful way.

Finally, Drew opens up about one of his greatest fears—not failure itself, but disappointing the people who believe in him and coming up short when others are counting on him.
