What happens when two Dominican kids who grew up side-by-side actually start living the dreams they used to talk about?

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Bryan 20+ years of brotherhood, laughter, and grind to talk about what it really means to grow up Dominican, chase your goals, and keep your identity through it all.

We talk about:
How Dominican parents shaped our hustle mentality
The unspoken challenges of growing in your craft while staying true to your roots
Balancing culture, faith, and ambition
What friendship looks like after decades of growth and change
The dreams we’ve caught… and the ones we’re still chasing

It’s part nostalgia, part real talk and a reminder that you can come from humble beginnings and still create something bigger than you imagined.

🎙️ If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you stop talking about your dreams and start living them, this one’s for you.
