A weekly show that is all about personal growth and how you can make something out of nothing by stopping to appreciate the lessons and help from family, friends and sometimes strangers. I talk about my own experiences as a Puerto Rican growing up in the Bronx. I peel back the layers to see what these experiences taught me. I'll also feature guests ranging from my wife, in-laws, siblings, good friends, former teachers, ex-bosses, mentors, co-workers and some old classmates as well.
