In this episode of Drew Code HQ, host Andrew Robles sits down with Jesse Cruz, a dynamic life coach and entrepreneur who lives by the motto "Once a wrestler, always a wrestler".
Jesse shares his transformative journey from the one-mile radius of Hawaiian Gardens, CA, to coaching high-level business owners in Beverly Hills. The conversation dives deep into the science of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and how Jesse uses it to help clients "perform surgery" on their subconscious minds to overcome self-sabotage.
Jesse gets raw about his own path—from unloading trucks and working at McDonald's to achieving seven years of sobriety and launching the IE Mastermind. Plus, Andrew makes a major announcement regarding the expansion of Amari Architecture and the launch of Amari Miami.
