Ep. 2 - Maribel Lara, Founder & Principal, Beget Love

In this episode, I sit down with Maribel Lara — founder of Beget Love — to talk about what success costs when no one's watching. Maribel grew up the daughter of immigrants in New York City, became a caregiver to both of her parents, and learned early that ambition doesn't mean much if it isn't rooted in truth. We talk about grief, pressure, survival mode, and the moments that force you to grow whether you're ready or not. Maribel also opens up about her years working alongside Gary Vaynerchuk (aka Gary Vee), what she learned operating at the center of a fast-moving empire, and how that experience sharpened her instincts, confidence, and refusal to wait for permission. This conversation isn't polished. It's about surrendering to hard lessons, building a life and career with intention, and passing the wisdom forward while you're still here.
