Is it ever really too late to start something new?

In Episode #84 of BAM BizTalk, Angel Garcia sits down with Tracy Valles, a Midland-based entrepreneur and multi-business owner, to talk about faith, discipline, and building businesses without waiting for perfect timing.

Tracy shares how she grew Valles Insurance into a long-standing agency and later launched Mary’s Christian and Gift Store as a purpose-driven business inspired by her mother. This conversation focuses on staying disciplined without a boss, listening to customers, and making business decisions that align with values rather than comfort.

If you are thinking about starting a business, adding a second venture, or pushing past a season of comfort, this episode offers grounded perspective from someone who has done the work.
