Rock and Rich
Between a Dumpster and a Building with Javier Palomarez
Show Notes

Javier Palomarez is a special guy - nine siblings, had a dirt floor growing up, no father, mother passes away tragically when he was just 16 years old, slept behind a dumpster to stay warm and safe.  How do you go through all of that to become one of the most influential Hispanics in the country? Very carefully, and very intentionally.

His story is full of scrapes, bumps and bruises. Even his professional life has mishaps and losses. NONE of this mattered to his will to make a difference.

He doesn’t share his story often. In fact, few know his full story. What you see in the media… well let’s just say don’t believe everything you read.
