About this listen
On Solving America’s Problems, Jerremy Alexander Newsom and Dave Conley speak with Cruz Gamboa. As GE exec he closed massive $800M deal in Latin America with 50 people grinding long days, missing family, leading to burnout. Promotion brought no joy. Fear, scarcity, and achievement-based identity trap people. Corporate delivered skills and pay but the success guarantee was false. His breaking point led to “I choose life” and starting his own firm using AI as mirror.
