Thank you, Rudy. I'm so glad to be here.
Yes.
Well, so I got here to Miami. I come from a middle-class family, so my family wasn't rich or anything. And Colombia, my city, particularly Medellin, was the most dangerous city in the world.
In the 90s. So I begged my dad, like, Get me out of here. He didn't have like a ton of money, but he sent me and I met my husband before I met him. I was cleaning apartments while I was studying and going to school. But then I met him and he had a car wash, a small car wash. He had like three employees and him.
So he was like, well, you come and work with us. And that's how we started. That was my first business, my first adventure in business, which it was awful.
90 degrees.
Barely. And we were the first ones to get in, the last ones to get out, the last ones to get paid, right?
Well, right now we have a company that's on personal development. So we scale businesses in Spanish. We're going to transition now. We're going to do the crossover to English. But we help them get to seven and eight figures. And we work a lot first with the leader, the founder, the mentality, the programming of their minds, their EQ. And then we have like a whole scaling process for them.
And we have... The headquarters we're going to open here in Miami. We just bought a building and then we have offices in Colombia and in Nicaragua.
Well, it was fun. It didn't make us much money, but it was a lot of fun because it was in Nicaragua. And it was kind of like an Oprah Winfrey style talk show.
But we did a lot of investigative reports. We found people that were missing, which was really cool. I mean, we would cry, but good tears. We did a lot of good, I think, with the show. And the Nicaraguans were so good to me. That's a country that's very dear to my heart. Like I said, I'm from Colombia, but my husband's Nicaraguan.
But at the end, you know, the advertising budget of the whole country is very small.
And our production was very expensive. We managed to get it in the U.S. in some cable networks. But after 13 years, we had to close it. So that was like... Failed in enterprise number three.
That's how we started growing. Once the show tanked, I said, I'm going to go back to what I do well and what I like the most, which is personal development. And then I started training a lot of people in a lot of companies on sales first. And then when I got like a panic attack, 2001, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and I started working on my mind.
that's when i started talking about emotional intelligence how that's when i realized it's not just about making money i was teaching people how to make money but then what if you're depressed what if you're stressed what if your relationships are broken so i figured that was like the base of the whole building right and i started working also on the mindset the the programming of the mind the eq the emotional intelligence and then i started
being called by fortune 500 corporations and training their leaders and their sales teams and and that's when our brand really started growing and then social media came yeah yeah and i was an early adapter being um model 72 so i was born in 1972. And the people my age weren't so worried about social media, but I was. My husband and I was like, oh, my God, I'm a dinosaur. I have to do this.
And I opened a Facebook page, Rudy. I don't know if I ever told you this, but I had my phone here, and I was fighting with my kid. I was being rude, not him. And then my husband got into the fight defending my child. And I was like being super mean. And my phone was vibrating and vibrating.
And I turned it around and I had a bunch of WhatsApp messages from my friends saying, you're transmitting, you're streaming a family situation on Facebook.
and i was like what so i go into facebook and this is all happening live on facebook and i was like how do you turn this off and it was really funny but then you know that's how you learn yeah yeah yeah well now i know you have lives of thousands of people on we've thrown
