Have you ever had misconceptions about what you think another country is like?  How about the people?  Even though we have access to Google images, videos, and social media platforms to connect us all, we still have misconceptions about the people, customs, and everything else associated with a country based on what we've heard, people we've met from those countries, and stereotypes often promoted through media. 

Meet Sam Kehayias, aka The CRM Bro. He's a guru when it comes to everything Monday.com and is an expert in GoHighLevel.  He was born and raised in Australia and is now looking at the prospects or possibilities to work and live in the U.S.

How to Get Involved:

Patrick Bolanos is a serial entrepreneur, business owner, and CEO of Trailer King Builders in Houston, Texas.

He was raised in Nicaragua, exposed to extreme poverty, and also had the fortune of being exposed to life in the United States traveling back and forth to both countries. 

After college, Patrick’s career took him into the corporate world of banking where he learned the important lessons of understanding what you’re selling and why it’s important to believe in it. 

Back in December of 2017, Patrick was fired from his job as a CFO for a Restaurant Group.  With only $500 to his name, rent due, his wife, 3 children at home, and one on the way, he was forced to figure out how to pull his family out of this financial abyss that was strangling his life. 

With no knowledge of how to build a trailer, Patrick simply figured all of it out and has now built it into the thriving empire of what’s now become Trailer King Builders.
