MEET OUR TEAM
Welcome to the Pony Tales Podcast!
Launched in November 2020, the Pony Tales Podcast is the place for people who sold books door-to-door to share their stories and lessons learned from their days on the book field.
Around here, we take ownership, we believe in openness, and we keep it 100.
Andrés
Andrés Gamboa Barrera is the creator and host of the Pony Tales Podcast. A four-summer bookman with the FORCE organization, he has a degree in Economics from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln during his time selling books. Originally from Bogotá, Colombia, Andrés and his family came to a small town in Nebraska when he was in elementary school; a harrowing story he shared in his recent best-seller, The Cost of Citizenship. In addition to being a published author, Andrés loves to make people laugh as a stand-up comedian. Andrés currently lives in Portland, Oregon with his beautiful wife, Brianna, and awesome dogs, Goku and Bulma.
