Jeff Kunde of Kunde Family Winery

In one word I want to capture what this podcast meant to the host, Peter Lopez Jr. That word is WOW! Many residents of Sonoma County recognize the Kunde name because of the very tasty and award winning wines that they produce. Jeff Kunde was the driving force behind launching the winery and navigating it to where it is today. That alone is amazing, but he's gone above and beyond to leave an everlasting impact on this community. We hope you'll listen to this episode, get inspired, stay inspired and become inspirational. 

Gavilan College President-Pedro Avila

Pedro Avila came from very humble beginnings that included picking fruit to help put food on the table with and for his family as a child. He worked and studied hard to become the hardest worker in the room. The hard work paid off and he eventually became the President of Gavilan College, which is in the same region that he once dreamt of helping his family get out of poverty and out of the fields. I hope you'll give this latest podcast episode a listen to get inspired, stay inspired and hopefully we can become inspirational like Pedro Avila.
