052 LA’s Streets to Business Success: George Valdez on Street Smarts, Music, & Marketing Mastery
In this powerful episode, I sit down with George Valdez as he takes us through an incredible journey from the rough streets of his youth in LA to becoming a recognized force in business and retail. George opens up about his early years, where he navigated the challenges of "the gutter," LA’s gritty music scene, and rubbing shoulders with icons like Ice Cube. His street smarts propelled him to learn from legends like Zig Ziglar, Tony Hsieh, and Brian Tracy, and ultimately transform himself into a top marketing and sales expert.
Today, George is not only an accomplished coach but also the author of "The Ultimate Guide to Footwear Retail Business Profits"—a comprehensive blueprint for retail success.
