Forge Your Own Path with Voodue VP - Rudy Sanchez

In late 2018, I was at a crossroads in life. Working two jobs (one during the day and the other overnight) to support my family. I had two very young kids and was the sole provider. I did not want their lives to suffer or miss out on a life that I felt they deserved. The problem I was having was that while giving them this life, I was sacrificing my goals and memories with them.

I was an MMA fighter and Jiu Jitsu practitioner who loved to compete. I also loved spending time with my kids. But, working as a business banker by day and an audit clerk by night did not allow me to do any of that. At the end of 2018, I was given a golden opportunity that I did not want to pass up. I had a colleague at the bank that I worked with who knew my story and knew how badly I wished things were different.  He knew that I often had to get dressed for work in my truck as I had to sleep in my vehicle between jobs from time to time. I left the graveyard position to pick up a pizza delivery job because it was easier on me mentally.

One day after a meeting, my colleague stopped me before getting in my truck and told me that he loved how much I was willing to sacrifice for my kids. He shared with me that he was going to be starting a company and he wanted to bring somebody on as a partner with that kind of determination. I had never been given this type of opportunity and told him yes immediately without knowing any of the details. We had our first meeting at a pizza parlor, and he told me that he was very serious about this journey and was going all in with it.  He was looking for my commitment. I saw how determined he was and said that I was ready to go to war with him. I took a risk and quit my second job so that I was able to focus solely on the company. This meant that my income would take a hit. In the week to follow, Voodue Company was born.

This has been an amazing journey as I am training and working out again, have plans to compete again, and have an amazing family life. Voodue Company has given me a different outlook on life and has helped me do things I never thought I would have the time to do. It helped me eliminate excuses so that I can go after the life I want for myself and my family. “Forge Your Own Path” is a phrase that I live by and I welcome you all to do the same.
