I really enjoyed speaking to my guest, Neuroscience Major, Store Owner of Portillo Jewelry & Dad of the Year, Ricardo Portillo (AKA, Ricky P). This is the uncut, unedited version of Life As We Know It. Ricardo was nice enough to let me test my equipment and be one of the first on the podcast. This wa.s
. shot with an iPhone 11 Pro and really was meant to be a tested for the audio portion of the podcast but I wanted to publish this video because Ricardo's thoughts and upbringing were so great and the conversation was genuine.

Michael Fallek is an attorney turned businessman by trade but a family man at heart. Though he and his partners have contributed a ton of development properties in and around McAllen, Texas, you may not have ever heard of Michael because he has always been a very humble and practical guy. He's not loud or flashy; in fact, this dude is friendly and approachable. During the 2021 election for the Mayor of McAllen, Michael felt that it was time to step up and lead the city into becoming stronger financially by building for the future while enhancing the quality of life by embracing our roots.
I've known Michael for over 15 years, and in that time he has become a good friend and I'll always support good friends to the best of my ability. I wanted to share his story because once you get to know him and who he is, you'll see why he'd make a great leader for the city.
