Building an Empire One Purposeful Day at a Time with Marvin Salcido

In this episode of Unleash Your Unique Genius, I sit down with Marvin Salcido—multi-business owner, home service powerhouse, and two-time Inc. 5000 recipient—for an honest, motivating conversation about resilience, reinvention, and relentless growth. From rebuilding his landscaping company after walking away from a previous partnership to launching Salcido Home Solutions, Marvin shares the gritty behind-the-scenes journey of going all-in, not once—but twice.

We dive into the power of showing up every day with intention, the emotional cost of entrepreneurship, and how he now runs multiple companies while protecting his most important relationships—at home.

🔥 Here’s what we cover:
