Ricardo and I discuss the journey that led him to Bondadosa, including what it was like to grow up as an undocumented immigrant, and the key relationship that turned his life around when he was a directionless and mediocre student, and the patient that convinced him to switch from going to medical school to become a doctor to being a social entrepreneur.
