Description

In today's conversation, we break down what it actually takes to go from homeless at 16 to building a $108 million company in 6 years - the sacrifices nobody talks about, the one decision that changed everything, and why $100 million still isn't enough. Ismael Valdez reveals how he grew the fastest HVAC company in trades history without private equity, why he's willing to miss his daughters' childhood to secure his bloodline for a thousand years, and the real reason he's chasing a billion. If you're tired of thinking small, ready to sacrifice for generational wealth, or trying to build something that outlives you, this episode will hit hard and give you a blueprint you can use today. 🎙️ GUEST: Ismael Valdez — Founder of NexGen Air Conditioning (sold for $100M+), CEO of NuveHome / ismaelvaldezceo Looking for Capital for Your Commercial Real Estate Project?
