Betting On Yourself (From Digging Potatoes to Adobe Internship) ft. Paul Marroquin - #169
Paul is a builder of others and has put a ton of effort to get to where he's at. He is starting an internship at Adobe in the summer and is a true student of life. In this interview we talked about his beginnings, where his work ethic comes from, side hustles, and much more! This conversation was very inspiring for me and I hope it is helpful for you too.

Quotes:
“He (my dad) struggled for everything he had… He worked night shift for… oh man… he worked night shifts for maybe like 14 years and anyways just was still willing to come home… we’re a religious family and he still made time to come to church even if he had gotten no sleep that night… I really look up to him. He was just always ready to come home and play with the kids so I really love that about him.” – Paul Marroquin
