ABOUT THIS EPISODE
I first met Dylan in 2022 when I returned to Des Moines. We coached the U11 girls soccer team together at Sporting Iowa. Immediately I knew he was a special man the way he threw himself into caring for the young players each practice and game. He didn't need to be there financially. He was there because he loved being of service and loved soccer. I got to know Dylan better as a man the next few years and it has been nothing short of a blessing. I am so incredibly delighted he said yes to being on the podcast and so happy for you to hear this twisting and turning story of a life well and truly lived so far. Expanding from Iowa to California to Bolivia and eventually home again Dylans path feels like 4 lives twisted into one great adventure.
We spoke about the value of out working your competition, finding someone just a few steps ahead of you on your journey you can learn from and saying yes to what life has to offer you.
Dylan has a deep sense of calm, men can only wish to embody. Driven by purpose, faith and service he allows others to feel completely safe and cared for in his presence. Becoming a new father is the next challenge he embarks on and I know he will blow it out the water.
Dylan Martinez is The Example.
