On this episode of the iBuild America Podcast, host Byron V. Garrett sits down with insurance professional, entrepreneur, mentor, musician, and family man Yonni Castillo—a multi-talented leader whose story proves that purpose, passion, and perseverance truly can coexist.

Yonni opens up about his unconventional path—from growing up in Michigan, to a 20-year career with State Farm, to relocating across the country with his family, to now leading a thriving agency in Arizona. He shares how mentorship, faith, hard work, and family shaped every chapter of his journey.

This conversation dives deep into:

— Why mentorship matters at every stage of life

— The importance of financial protection and generational stability

— Leaving comfort zones to create new opportunities

— How music, business, and family can coexist with purpose

— The responsibility to lift others as you climb

— Why faith, empathy, and perseverance matter now more than ever

It’s honest, personal, and deeply human.

🎧 Whether you’re a student, entrepreneur, parent, or simply navigating life transitions—this episode reminds us to “keep it moving,” stay focused, and never stop building toward the life you’re meant to live.
