In this episode, Todd Dexheimer talks with Edgar Zavala of Global Financial Impact about his journey into coaching and leadership. After hitting a plateau in his life, Edgar faced a fork in the road—a moment that led to a powerful paradigm shift and a move toward growth, purpose, and mentoring others.
He shares his guiding philosophy built around the “5 F’s”:
➡️ Faith
➡️ Family
➡️ Fitness/Health
➡️ Finance
➡️ Fun
Edgar emphasizes the importance of scheduling what matters, staying disciplined, and being present. He encourages listeners to take a step back and ask: Are you following a path that serves you, or is it time to make a shift?
His core message: Stop trading time for money—leverage it, grow through discomfort, and find a mentor to help you level up.
