In this quick solo episode of The Real Connect, I’m keeping it real with something we all need to hear—stop waiting for the perfect moment. That moment you're waiting for? It might never come. I’m sharing some personal truths, including losing my dad when I was young and how that shifted everything for me.


This is for anyone stuck in planning mode, held back by fear, or waiting for a sign. The sign is now. It's time to move.


Let this be your reminder: you don’t need perfection to take action; you just need to start.


Key Takeaways:


1. Start now—stop overthinking and take that first step.

2. Fear and doubt are normal, but they shouldn’t lead.

3. The connection you’re craving? It starts with you.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
