At twelve I sold my father's squash door to door, three kilos for a peso, and talked two kids from the block into working it with me. That was my first company.
At seventeen I was running twelve bricklayers on a construction site. They were older than me, they didn't trust me, and I had to earn it every morning.
That's where I found my talent, and it wasn't laying bricks.
Now I'm COO and cofounder of WIN Investments, the Nasdaq of Sports, where we tokenize football transfer rights across the world, next to the best people I've worked with.
In between, I went looking. A year on the road with a backpack. Four months in the Amazon. A cabin burning in Patagonia that two teammates and I put out ourselves. A few years in Brazil. Four thousand books.
I've lived in fields, mountains, jungle, cities, and towns.
I'm a generalist. I've led teams, written code, designed products, run marketing — it all turned out to be the same job at different resolutions.
I train jiu jitsu. I read every day. I watch every F1 race.
