Bobby Comedia es ingeniero de profesión, comediante por decisión y emprendedor porque...es un desquiciado. Interesado por probar y vivir al máximo diferentes roles y disciplinas en una vida que considera que va por la mitad.

Es uno de los comediantes que más admiro, no solo por su comedia, sino por su habilidad de ser mucho más que su "profesión". Los que escuchan este podcast saben que tengo una fascinación y admiración por la gente que logra cosas extraordinarias en otra áreas de la vida, no sólo en su "profesión" o trabajo. Bobby es una de esas personas: se ha reinventado y es, como él lo llama, "irresponsablemente apasionado". 

Tuvimos una mezcla de temas muy cool: Venezuela (país que adoro), ser inmigrante, la paternidad, el matrimonio, comedia, Australia, emprender con GoLiiive, y más.
