In this episode, we sit down with Cresencio Sanchez — owner of Under Pressure LLC, a pressure washing and window cleaning business based in Corvallis, Oregon, serving the Willamette Valley.

Cresencio shares his journey from struggling to make ends meet during the pandemic, to taking the leap in 2021 with around a $1,200 pressure washer, to running a thriving local business across Oregon. He also opens up about waiting 10+ years to start, the young man who walked up to him in a parking lot asking for mentorship — who he ended up hiring and who still works alongside him today — and how his hobby exploring AI led to a Facebook reel that hit over 1 million views.

We also dig into his perspective on AI — why he believes it's "just a tool," how he encourages his own kids to learn it, and the question every worker should be asking themselves right now.

"AI is just a tool. Learn to use it."

In this episode, we sit down with Michael Vasquez - community leader, former wrestling coach, and current Vice-Chair of the Woodburn School Board (the views shared are his own, not the school board's).

Michael shares powerful stories from his days coaching wrestling, the lessons the sport teaches beyond the mat, and what it means to be proud of where you come from. We also have a real conversation about what Woodburn is facing right now - the fear in our community, how schools are protecting students, and why the light will come.

"We have bigger dreams."

In this episode, Jesus Arellano shares how growing up in South Central LA pushed him to seek a better life. Moving from apartment to apartment, he eventually found a new beginning in Oregon—where wrestling changed everything. The sport taught him discipline, respect, and perseverance, lessons that now drive his career in real estate. Today, Jesus helps others create stability and opportunity through homeownership.
