When Your Ego Drives: How to Take Back the Wheel with Chris Gray

Hector sits down with Chris Gray — a direct response marketing strategist and introspective father — to unpack the daily dance between ego, awareness, and authentic leadership. Chris shares how years of meditation and mindfulness have reshaped his approach to business, family, and self-acceptance. Using vivid analogies — from the ego as a GPS to a well-meaning but overbearing parent — he offers practical wisdom for men ready to stop fighting themselves and start integrating every part of who they are. Whether you’re a dad, a founder, or just a man learning to carry your weight with grace, this episode will leave you asking: who’s driving — you or your ego?
