His tagline that stands out above all others is, "From dope dealer to hope dealer." Here the stories and inner machinations of Roberto Rivera. A young man by way of Texas, who would lead a life of social justice activism and entrepreneurship. He would then go on to create his own major surrounding these fields at UWM. We sit down with Roberto for the better part of an hour and get into his thinking and reveal some of the stories. We found it critical for Roberto to identify those moments where he knew he could create and control circumstances in his life. To be fair tho, he was an extremely easy interview and the conversation flowed seamlessly. We hope you like the stellar editing. We have a new member on the Educated Guess Podcast Team and his name is Ed Nuñez. Thank you, Ed!@edguesspodcast@czareff@mr_ayyy@resist_edu
