GIVE MAXIMUM EFFORT TO WHATEVER YOU DO: INTERVIEW WITH BUCK MARTINEZ, FOUNDER OF STUDENT ACES

Originally published by Adam Mendler

I recently went one on one with Buck Martinez, founder of the non-profit Student ACES and author of the new book Inspiring Champions.

Adam: Thanks again for taking the time to share your advice. First things first, though, I am sure readers would love to learn more about you. How did you get here? What experiences, failures, setbacks, or challenges have been most instrumental to your growth?

Buck: My family fled a communist Cuba in the early 1960s when I was just a small child to come to the United States with only $5 to our name. My parents worked extremely hard and instilled in us the importance of faith, work ethic, and surrounded us with family – family was, and still is everything to me. It was from my parents that I learned the impact of servant leadership. At every opportunity, they helped others flee Cuba to come to a country that they were proud to be a part of because it provided the family with more opportunities and a brighter future, and most importantly, freedom.
