Many immigrant kids often believe they have only one path in their lives.  I talked with Khoi Le; founder of ConvoyOP and master coder. He is also a Vietnamese immigrant. He goes deep into his experience as a young child in the U.S. how despite getting in trouble in school he become a developer guru.  Us two troublemakers explored how immigrant children can create an abundant future in fields that are not the traditional path for foreigners and how similar their immigration stories can be, despite my Mexican heritage and Khoi being from the other side of the world.

Odalys’s passion is to share the different sides of different Latinos from all over the world.  It is this reason she began her amazing podcast Hell@ Latina! She sheds light and with her various amazing guests peels the onion of “latinidad” – we are NOT all the same. I have followed Odalys’s journey and I’ve seen her come into her own. She openly speaks about her parent’s immigrant story from Honduras. She speaks about how she felt like an outsider as kid from Honduran background in a primarily Mexican part of the world. How she was homeless and how even her beautiful name “Odalys” was hidden for many years.  Through all of her life she has been observing, her heart taking note details of struggle and at a very young age makes sense of them. Her podcast helps all of us make sense of so much. Enjoy our talk and here is her podcast https://open.spotify.com/episode/7vcyxUhQ2sg7DJGq1XR0LR?si=KV2Ru_UXRte4mfBNiNJp3A

Peace and Love everyone.

Networking for Hustlers! 

Brett Murray and Mark Aceves both have worked with me in the past at different companies in the Silicon Valley - yet, here we are a couple decades later talking about it. How is it that we can still be part of each others network years later. Enjoy the chat, refelctions and know it boils down to simple things that last. Learn from the good, the bad.

Bronwyn blew my mind!!! She sat down with me and we talked about stories, how to nail an interview and how to bomb one too ;-o)  We discuss how to tell a story, how to use them,  we discuss "social currency", we talked about the impact of not feeling good enough. In this chat we talk about what people DON'T talk about but need to. 

Fernando’s family came to the U.S.A. from Costa Rica. He speaks to us about how not all immigrants come here in poverty. Some come here to redefine themselves and they are educated. He ended up in L.A. and later became a teacher….just like his abuela. As he speaks to me, I see him jump from one amazing thing to the next and each jump was a BRIDGE and sometimes he created the BRIDGE – even if the bridge came in the form of a blank sign up paper. 

When I first heard Tanya's stories she was sitting attentive on a chair, looking straight into the camera during the pandemic in India. A light from across the world.  I was mesmerized by her ability to draw me in. I kept listening to her stories...she took me there. I had to have her on my show! Enjoy the in's and outs of storytelling by friend, Business Storyteller & Story Coach Tanya (Mathur) Bhattacharya.
