Episode Details

Sometimes the biggest change in your life begins when you finally ask yourself one question: “Am I happy with what I have right now?” Matt Reyna and Eugene Morales talk about growing up with a chip on their shoulder, leaving behind a victim mentality, becoming more mature as men, developing a positive mindset, finding faith, and learning that nothing changes until you actually take action. 

The conversation also goes back to Matt and Eugene’s younger years, their early experiences with entrepreneurship and sales, and one unforgettable San Antonio Fiesta story that somehow helped create friendships that would eventually connect back to their careers.
