Key Leadership Lessons from Ruben Gonzalez’s Journey:

  • Courage comes in two forms. The courage to start—and the courage to keep going when progress is slow and setbacks pile up.

  • Passion outlasts willpower. Sustainable performance is fueled by purpose, not discipline alone.

  • Coachability unlocks the next level. Growth accelerates when leaders seek feedback and learn from those who’ve already crossed the minefield.
