## Resource

What happens when you call people live… and they have no idea they’re about to be on a podcast? That’s exactly what went down in this episode of You Have to Meet My Friends —and what unfolded was raw, real, and ridiculously inspiring. In this episode, I dial up a couple of absolute legends—no script, no warning, just real life showing up in real time. First, you’ll meet Jacob . A young entrepreneur who built a thriving business in Puerto Rico, checked the box on his first home… and then had it all taken by a hurricane. What do you do when life hits reset? Jacob moved in with his grandparents in Pennsylvania, started fresh at SportClips , and within THREE WEEKS became an assistant manager. Within a year? Manager. That’s not luck—that’s grit meeting opportunity. Then there’s Jose . Nineteen years old. Five siblings. Lost his father at just 10. From humble beginnings in Mexico to winning a national SportClips competition—earning himself a scholarship and proving that resilience isn’t just a word, it’s a lifestyle. And just when you think it couldn’t get better… Julie Vargas (yes, employee #1 of the billion-dollar brand SportClips ) jumps in and does something powerful: she speaks life into both of these young men in real time. We talk a lot about “speaking life” as a concept—but this episode lets you feel it in action. No theory. Just truth, impact, and moments that matter. This one will stick with you. 👇 Tap in, listen close, and you might just find yourself asking… Who do I need to call… and speak life into today?
