Welcome back to the FITFO Podcast! In this episode, I sit down with Lucas Mijares, the dynamic CEO and co-founder of Zion Capital, to unpack his journey from humble door-to-door salesman to leading a quarter-billion-dollar financial firm—all while raising six kids and fostering a home built on strong values.

Lucas Mijares gets real about the lessons learned from marrying young, the challenges of balancing fatherhood with entrepreneurship, and the importance of character over legacy. We dive into topics like instilling resilience in kids, the art of being present in a distracted world, and strategic life decisions that shape both family and business.
Whether you’re a parent, a business leader, or just seeking inspiration to pursue your own path, this episode delivers candid advice, hard-earned wisdom, and a whole lot of motivation to figure things out, at home and in the office. Enjoy!
