What is my idea of happiness?
Happiness is living in coherence between thought, emotion, and action. It is raising my two children with emotional awareness, mental autonomy, and a future-oriented vision. It is working with meaning, surrounded by people who think big, act responsibly, and understand that evolution is a lifelong process.

My greatest fear has always been living without awareness — repeating inherited, unexamined patterns. That fear became my greatest fuel, leading me into a deep study of the human mind, neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and the philosophy of success.

In the past, hesitation. Through study and practice, I learned that an indecisive mind creates unstable results. Today, conscious decision-making is one of my core values and a skill I teach.

I admire leaders, educators, and thinkers who understand the human mind and take ethical responsibility for shaping consciousness — individuals who integrate science, real-world experience, and genuine human impact.

What I dislike most about my work is the mentality of people who renounce the future and try to transform that renunciation into a universal truth.

I am happiest when there is alignment — when theory meets practice. When academic research, conversations with global leaders, and lived experience converge into clarity, strategy, and measurable human impact.
If I could, what would I change about myself?
I would have begun this path of conscious study and leadership earlier. Today, I understand that applied knowledge accelerates destinies.

Where would I most like to live?
Where dialogue is deep, thinking is free, and collaboration is global. My work does not belong to a single territory, but to an expanded vision.
What is my most treasured possession?
My two children. They are my greatest moral, emotional, and existential responsibility. Everything I build today is rooted in the legacy I will leave for them and for the world.

What is my most inspirational location, in my city?
My office — where I study, write, and develop my book. It symbolizes my definitive transition from execution to intellectual leadership.
What is my favorite place to eat and drink, in my city?
My favorite place to eat and drink is one where everything is simple: the food, the atmosphere, and the people. I like spaces that don’t try to impress, but to welcome. Places where conversation is possible, the food is honest, and people are approachable to one another. For me, simplicity is a sign of intelligence — it allows the mind to rest and the encounter to be genuine.
What books influenced my life and how?
Napoleon Hill’s work was a turning point. His studies on purpose, decision, persistence, and mindset form the foundation of the book I am developing, now enriched with modern neuroscience. These books did not simply change how I think — they redefined who I am.

On my last day, I would listen to music that confirms what I have always researched: faith as a creative force, joy as a state of mind, and gratitude as proof of consciousness.

In fiction, the Phoenix — a timeless symbol of conscious renewal, inner leadership, and continuous evolution. In real life, my children and leaders who use power and influence to elevate, not dominate.
Who are my heroes and heroines in real life?

Which movie would I recommend to see once in a lifetime?
I recommend The Pursuit of Happyness for conveying values such as perseverance, dignity, and responsibility. The film inspires by showing that true wealth lies in the courage to persevere, even in the face of difficulties.
What role do stories play in my life and work?
The stories that shape my life and work come from my experiences. The kitchen taught me care and connection, selling cars brought communication and resilience, and law school sparked a passion for research and writing. Each experience influences how I work with empathy, purpose, and transformation.
What do the words ‘You are the storyteller of your own life’ mean to me?
For me, “You are the author of your own story” means taking the power to write each chapter of your life with awareness, emotion, and purpose, transforming experiences into learning and inspiring others to find meaning in their own journeys.

What do the words “Passion Never Retires” mean to me?
For me, the words “passion never retires” mean that true enthusiasm, curiosity, and purpose have no expiration date. Being passionate about what you do is choosing to wake up every day with energy, even in the face of challenges and uncertainty. It is about turning obstacles into fuel and keeping the flame alive, regardless of time or age. Passion is a commitment to life, growth, and the impact we leave in the world. It is not measured by career stages or immediate results, but by the intensity with which we seek meaning, learn, inspire, and evolve continuously. That is why, for me, passion is eternal — a force that drives action, creativity, and legacy.
