From the moment I first read Diego's writing, I was enamored. The opportunity to start off season 15 with his interview is a true honor. For episode 269, Diego \u2014\xa0known to his millions of followers at Yung Pueblo, which stands for "young people" \u2014 opens up about his inspiration for writing. He talks about immigrating to this country, growing up in poverty, and his battle with drugs in college that lead him to a massive #hurdlemoment and life change \u2014 ultimately taking on meditation and completely pivoting toward a more holistic, healthier lifestyle. He shares the inspiration for his latest book, The Way Forward, and offers up advice on how to prioritize and communicate better within relationships.
