Summary
My guest on this week's Best You Podcast episode is Dr. Luis Velasquez. Born and raised in Guatemala Central America; Luis is a brain tumor survivor and an avid endurance athlete. He has completed over 100 marathons and ultramarathons, some at the 100-mile range and 9 Ironman Triathlons.

When not coaching or spending time with his family, you can find him trail running or facilitating one of the most iconic classes at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, Interpersonal Dynamics also known as “Touchy-feely”. He is also a contributor for HBR Ascent, Chief Learning Officer Magazine.
