Guillermo Gonzalez Dominguez is a native Cuban living out his dream in life of owning his own mechanic shop. A mechanic since childhood, Guillermo reflects on his father, his work ethic, and his love of work in his shop outside of Havana, Cuba.

Beloved by his neighbors and friends, Guillermo breaks the stereotype of the surly mechanic. He believes in hard work, making his own tools, and finding purpose in his life by fixing things.

We can learn from Guillermo’s simple outlook on life and the importance of hard work.

Guillermo’s passion for mechanics, passed down from his father, allows him to inspire others, live simply, and face life’s many problems.
