This is an episode on survival, hitting rock bottom and exponential growth that will leave you motivated and rooting for Simón the whole time. It’s a story of doing whatever it takes, and finding inspiration instead of letting sadness take over, even in the face of injustice and having everything you’ve ever known taken from you.
If you’re tuning in today, you will laugh, smile, cry, and leave ready to do the work.
This is a very special interview because every time I ask who you want to hear from on the podcast, the number one answer is: Simón! Simón is my husband, and one of the people that has inspired me and motivated me more than anyone else. His outlook on life, and the way he exemplifies self-leadership is on a whole other level.
This episode is for you if you’re looking to take the first step on a project that feels “impossible” or appears to have no end in sight. If you feel stuck, this episode is also for you. Learn about the advantage of being at rock bottom. Plus, Simón shares the lessons we can learn from someone who had to flee a country with barely $10 in his pocket and how that has enabled him to take on big projects, find success and a positive outlook.
This interview is also a first-hand account of the crisis in Venezuela. If you don’t know what’s going on in Venezuela, please take the time to listen today.
