103: Remeber Why, Then Let Go pt 1

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.
