We had the good fortune of connecting with Marco Sanchez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Marco, what role has risk played in your life or career?
You have to take those risks , don’t be scared to fail that’s how you learn

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What I would say sets me apart from others is my authenticity to self . And the message that I try to get across by speaking about things most people would think about but won’t talk about .

As far as excitement , Im excited for a lot of things . The future has so much in store and with how far I’ve come along , I can’t wait to see what else it might bring .
Becoming who I am today as an artist/ person has taken me 26 years so far , and every single part of it has had its purpose and i input so much of it into my craft , it wasn’t always as easy to express my self but as of the past few years , if I’m not being my self than what’s the point . And that’s one of the main messages that I try and relay . Also one thing else , make sure you’re paying attention to the world . Not everything is what it seems . Just a suggestion.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
There’s a lot of places out in the area that are great , if I had to make an itinerary

First day in Texas gotta have some whataburger for sure . Then we can check out the city of Dallas , there’s also Fort Worth , depends what the mood is .
Next few days we can go check out a few places that are my favorite , gotta go to panchos tacos in Grand Prairie, la Victoria taqueria in oak cliff , Some fluffs wings and tingz And potentially some Dairy Queen , love me some Dairy Queen . Activity wise there’s so much to do , got a few museums to go to , sight seeing spots and night life is always fun at deep ellum and 7th street .

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Honestly , I would like to give a shout out every one I’ve ever crossed paths with . I try and learn from every situation. It’s all perspective .
