Is it ever really too late to start something new?
In Episode #84 of BAM BizTalk, Angel Garcia sits down with Tracy Valles, a Midland-based entrepreneur and multi-business owner, to talk about faith, discipline, and building businesses without waiting for perfect timing.

This conversation focuses on staying disciplined without a boss, listening to customers, and making business decisions that align with values rather than comfort.
