Carlos Young - The Energy and Enthusiasm of a Family Business
Our conversation with Carlos Young is almost indescribable. Although we sat down with him one -on -one on camera, the energy that you're going to feel from him comes from his family.
This is a family business. The family was literally in the room, but you can't not be inspired by the energy and the enthusiasm that this family brings to their business. Pay attention to when Carlos says, each one, teach one.
