In this special Check In With… episode of Pulse Check, Sam and Gracie sit down with Carlos (aka Carl) — a man who is, quite simply, all heart.

From dog walks at 6am to summer schools, faith, work, and finding your passion, this one is full of laughs and genuine insight. We moves from laugh-out-loud moments to deeply honest reflections on faith, work, purpose, and people.

Carlos shares his passion for encouraging young people, his 30-year journey in the workplace (where he literally puts holes in things), the role summer schools have played in his life, and why doing everything “with a good heart” might be the best advice you’ll ever hear.

A warm, funny, and encouraging conversation about staying open, staying humble, and staying human.
