In this deeply moving episode of I AM Conversations, hosts Ana María Dávalos, María Lanas, and Maclovia Martel sit down with Carlos Rey, a Harvard-trained business expert and pioneer in purpose-driven leadership.

From the classrooms of economics to the streets of Calcutta, Carlos’s life changed forever after meeting Mother Teresa — a moment that revealed to him that true success isn’t measured by profit, but by love.

He shares his transformative story of discovering purpose through compassion, creating what he calls the “Silver Triangle” — aligning the Head, Heart, and Hands to bring love into everything we do.

In this conversation, we explore: • The moment that redefined Carlos’s understanding of business and humanity • How Mother Teresa taught him that love gives meaning to our actions • Why putting love in the doing creates lasting fulfillment • How leaders can build organizations rooted in purpose and authenticity • The three questions that measure real purpose in companies

His message is timeless: “What counts is not how much you do, but how much love you put into what you do.”

Tune in and discover how purpose and love can transform the way we live, work, and lead.
