Eps 11 - A Mexican Moved to Canada for a Better Life. I’m Leaving Canada for the Same Reason.

Update: 2025-05-18

Description

Today’s episode is a gut check.

I onboarded a new team member—an overqualified accountant from Mexico who moved to Canada with his family seeking a better future. And here I am, doing everything I can to leave the very country he moved to.

So… what gives?

I unpack:

- Why I feel conflicted but clear

- Why I believe my highest and best use is investing in people, not scaling for the sake of it

- How faith, family, and service now shape every business decision I make

- And why leaving Canada is not about running away, but about building something worth running toward

If you’ve ever wrestled with what success actually looks like, or wondered if it’s time to go where the wave is rising—this one’s for you.
