Leadership and Creating Change with Gahrey Ovalle EP 145

Today Patty is talking with Gahrey Ovalle author, activist, and serial entrepreneur. After listening to his interview on her publisher’s podcast, Patty knew she had to talk to him. There is a lot to encourage all of us to see where and how we can create change.  

He encourages people to say less and do more. Gahrey realized that he was repeating the same actions, which meant the same problems continued to show up. That’s when he figured out that he had to make changes if he wanted his life to be different.  

Gahrey and Patty talk about leadership and how people come to step into positions of leadership. You don’t have to be the biggest voice in the room to impact change. Gahrey believes that all of us can be a leader. He shares how his mom showed him it was possible by stepping up as a leader when he was growing up.  

Self-reflection is key to making changes in our lives. We have to be willing to face the things that aren’t easy. That’s how we can address what’s hurting us and design better outcomes.  

What does it mean to grow forward and give back?  

Patty and Gahrey talk about how to help their children address their limiting beliefs. As parents, there’s a great opportunity to help them make good choices. It’s a way to help them move past generational patterns.  

Don’t miss the part of the conversation where they discuss race. Gahrey reminds us that we have the choice to grow together, or we will continue to grow apart. Conversations about race, bias, and inequality impacts all of us, no matter our ethnicity.  

Gahrey also explains how to begin having these conversations with our children. He encourages everyone to extend grace to yourself. You don’t have to be perfect or have all the answers.  

What does it mean to be an advocate? This is something all of us, can join with others who are looking to make changes in our communities.
