b'This very special episode is dedicated to our guest this week\\u2014Hector Cabrera. Hector served/serves in the Air Force, and during his day job\\u2014he makes people question if there are really people out there that are this nice.

I met Hector on my journey into USC Marshall, where we were classmates in the Sixth-Cohort of the Masters of Business for Veterans program; and what I learned from this conversation\\u2026 the answer to that question is\\u2014yes. People are actually Hector kind of nice.

Coming to America when he was 8 years old, Hector lost everything he\\u2019d ever known as normal life. Hector quickly learned that to improve in life, he should mimic those who are doing well. And so he did\\u2026 all the way to college\\u2026 till the tragedy of 9/11.

Hector speaks very candidly about what it was like growing up in America and what patriotism and human kindness mean to him. He speaks about the process of improvement, and the keys to good living being forgiveness, servitude, humility, and gratitude. I can tell from the amount of shout outs he makes, that he is very much valued and appreciated in the lives of the people he comes across.

And you\\u2019ll soon see why.

Why this episode is special, is because I purposely waited to get Hector on the mic to get to know him. I knew we\\u2019d have a phenomenal conversation, and I got him right in time\\u2026 because he had to leave our cohort to deploy to **OPSEC**. So as Cohort VI graduates this next week, I held this episode back from being published\\u2014so that Hector is with us as we walk the stage! FIGHT ON Hector! FIGHT ON MBV\\xac\\xac\\xac!
