Ivan (Dynamo) De Jesus

How to Accomplish Your Bucket List

EPISODE 08 – April 9th, 2017

In today’s episode I got to interview my friend Dynamo De Jesus. Dynamo is an entrepreneur, artist, founder of Action Club, and overall amazing dude. Action Club is meet up group that acts a support group for your goals. The concept is amazing and has proven to be a huge success.

Since launching his first meet up a little over 5 years ago, Action Club has grown massively. There are now Action Clubs popping up across the country and even internationally in places like Europe, Australia, and Russia.

I first met Dynamo through one of the first friends I made when I moved to Miami Beach. Dynamo is a guy that I really admire because of his charisma, the way he treats people, and how humble he is.

He’s extremely successful in many areas of life but always puts his personal values before anything else, which I respect. I’m excited to have him on the podcast and I believe you will get a lot of value from listening to some of his philosophies.

“Being vulnerable is the key to leadership because it will allow you to connect on a human level that will really facilitate the empowerment of the group. Anything short of that is good leadership but not great leadership.” – Dynamo De Jesus
