    This week, we sit down with Dr. Hortencia Jiménez, sociology professor and best-selling author of I Carry My Ancestors in My Bones, for one of our most inspiring conversations yet. She shares the incredible journey to earning her Ph.D., the racial barriers and challenges she overcame, and what it was like growing up in the United States while separated from her parents.


    Dr. Jiménez opens up about personal stories she’s never shared before, offering an honest look at resilience, family, identity, and the experiences that shaped her life, career, and writing. She’s thoughtful, funny, and incredibly genuine, making this an episode you won’t want to miss.


    We also dive into the inspiration behind I Carry My Ancestors in My Bones, the importance of honoring those who came before us, and the lessons she’s learned throughout her remarkable journey.

    Episode 33-John Alvarado: The Road to Salinas Honda & The Blend Factory
    Jul 9 2026

    This week we’re joined by John Alvarado, General Sales Manager at Salinas Honda, and owner of The Blend Factory Barbershop.


    John shares his journey from wanting to become a correctional officer to unexpectedly finding his passion in the car business, working his way up to General Sales Manager, and eventually opening his own barbershop. We also talk about what it takes to succeed in sales, the lessons he’s learned along the way, and the story of how Jesse first met John while buying a car—before Jesse eventually became a salesperson himself.


    And, as always, things take a few unexpected turns… including discovering that Will might need to head back to school for a refresher on world history.


    Come in unprepared and enjoy the conversation.
