In part one of this week’s Rethink Sales Podcast , Mark Donnolo and Michelle Seger talk with Andrés Hoyos Gómez , co-founder of The Beans on Fire in Paris - a former McKinsey partner who walked away from a successful consulting career to build something far more personal. Andrés shares how growing up in Colombia during turbulent times shaped his drive to “belong” and succeed - first as a consultant and eventually as a partner at McKinsey. But after two decades of chasing promotions and results, he finally stopped and asked himself why . That question led him to rethink what meaningful work truly looks like. His story explores ambition, identity, and the moment when achievement without purpose no longer feels like progress.
