Our guest today is the founder and host of the Consejo de Varon Podcast, Oscar Armendariz.

Oscar’s schooling is a very familiar story for dyslexics, typified by one incident in high school: Oscar’s skill with computer programming meant he could teach the entire class how to code – for which they all received A’s - but Oscar’s spelling meant he only received a B.

Growing up in Olympia, Washington, Oscar gained a bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering with a major in Robotics from Washington State University. After leaving university he went on to become a successful Capital Investment Manager, managing projects in the US and Mexico.

The aim of his podcast is to empower Latino men to success, building a legacy and spiritual fulfilment.
