Welcome welcome welcome! In today's episode, we have a special guest, a brotha from anotha mother, Sid Avila-Cortez! Sid and I explore how we first met, the opportunities he and I were presented with during and after our undergrad at Cal, as well as the challenges that came with those opportunities. Throughout the interview you'll hear the level of humbleness in Sid's presentation, but understand that it's a humbleness that has been nurtured and developed through his faith in God and the many many challenges he has experienced while helping to grow SKZ Vending, the family-owned business that's co-owned by him, his brother and father. We talk about business, family, and so much more. So get to it and enjoy this nugget-filled episode of the BGP!  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
