#23: Let Your Passion Lead the Way | Andrés Vega Jaimes

Andrés Vega Jaimes is the founder of The Colombian Guy Coffee Van in Sheridan, Wyoming.

In this heartfelt episode, we dive deep into the life and philosophy of Andrés from TCG Coffee Van. Andrés shares his inspiring journey from growing up in Colombia to creating a beloved coffee business in Sheridan, Wyoming. 

We discuss his experiences growing up with a single mother, the impact of his Colombian heritage, the genuine connections he's made through his coffee van, and the invaluable lessons he's learned through Jiu-Jitsu. 

Andrés' story is a testament to living authentically, building meaningful relationships, and the transformative power of passion and hard work. 

Whether you're a coffee enthusiast, a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, or someone chasing a passion, this episode is for you.

p.s. every time I leave a conversation with Andrés, I feel reminded that the point of life and business is to build something that's true to myself. I'm thrilled to share his story with you, and hope you walk away feeling a strong conviction that your intuition is a guide worth listening to.

Thanks for listening.
