In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Eye Level to High Level™, host Jimmy Rios sits down with longtime friend and business partner Memo Loaiza to talk about the real work behind growth — mind, body, and spirit.
Jimmy opens up about 25 years of personal challenges, including divorce, addiction, and hard lessons that ultimately pushed him toward self-improvement, faith, and alignment with his higher purpose. Together, Jimmy and Memo explore why true transformation requires responsibility, humility, and a willingness to confront limiting beliefs head-on.
The conversation dives into PSI Seminars, a 50-year-old experiential training program designed to break mental barriers and rewire the way people see themselves, their goals, and their potential. Memo explains why these experiences are hard to describe — and why they must be felt to be understood.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Jimmy’s honest reflections on failure, growth, and personal responsibility
Why mindset work must address mind, body, and spirit together
How experiential learning like PSI Seminars challenges limiting beliefs
The importance of coaching, mentorship, and accountability in personal growth
Memo’s “2026 Statement” strategy — working backward from future goals into 90-day action plans
How SEPA is bringing transformational personal development to the Spanish-speaking community
Why ego is often the biggest obstacle to reaching your next level
This episode is a reminder that leveling up isn’t just about business or money — it’s about doing the internal work required to live with intention, clarity, and purpose.
