Join me on a journey through the inspiring life of Carlos Gamarra, a creative force who effortlessly juggles being an award-winning video editor, music producer, digital artist and an exceptional cook. Carlos, a Puerto Rican native, has left an indelible mark on several incredible projects, including, Netflix, HBO, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He's a firm believer in the power of narratives, the magic of human connection, and the transformative power of knowledge sharing.

Carlos and I delve deep into the importance of cultivating a positive outlook and the profound impact of gratitude, even when the going gets tough. He opens up about his Emmy win for Queer Eye and articulates his belief of this accolade as a stepping stone to greater achievements, rather than a final destination. We navigate through his journey of self-awareness, touching on his move to El Paso, the ensuing stress and depression, and the role gratitude played in his healing process. 

Our conversation takes a poignant turn as we discuss the intricacies of familial relationships. Carlos shares his insights on the importance of empathizing with our parents' humanity, the power of self-love, and the significance of not taking life for granted. In our final moments together, we reflect on personal growth and the influence of gratitude in our lives. Carlos leaves us with a powerful mantra, "we are responsible for what we put out into the world," a gentle reminder of the power we hold to mold our destinies. Engage with us in a conversation that is sure to touch your heart and inspire your mind.
