About this listen
Alejandro Vega had a resume most people would be proud of — Account Executive at Gartner, building a territory from scratch at Sysco in Savannah, then Seamless.AI, then Prezent. At 28, he walked away from all of it to buy a concrete coating company in Greenville, SC.
In this episode, Dave sits down with Alejandro and gets into the real story — not the LinkedIn version. Alejandro traces his entrepreneurial instincts all the way back to lemonade stands, door-to-door cookie sales, and a college marketing agency. He talks about the book that changed his thinking, a friend who bought a plumbing company that pushed him over the edge, and the moment his wife told him she believed in him — the kind of conversation that makes everything feel possible and terrifying at the same time.
They get into Day 1 of ownership, what it actually felt like to make his first sale as the boss, and the difference between grinding for a quota versus building something of your own. Alejandro closes with a message that's hard to forget: get off social media, stop waiting, and be a doer.
If you've been sitting on something — this is the episode that might finally push you to go do it.
