Ep 31. MIKE MEDINA - "Founder Lessons; Put Family and People First"

In this episode, Rob and Ileana welcome Miguel (Mike) Medina, Co-founder of Plerk, a (YC) Y Combinator funded company from Mexico. Mike shares his incredible personal story, a conventional path turned unconventional path when forced to make hard life choices, at an early age. His journey takes us through a lifetime of sales/selling, from his earliest childhood, hustling to sell candies at school, to a university aged sales intern with big global companies such as Apple, Danone and eventually Rappi, one of Latin America's earliest fast growth companies. Mike shares his humble advice and perspectives learned during his young, but full entrepreneurial life.   Mike is one of Mexico’s up and coming new entrepreneurs at just 30 years old. A 4th-year drop-out while studying for his Bachelor in Industrial Engineering at Tec de Monterrey. With more than 15 years of experience in sales, growth, expansion, marketing and more. He has been part of some of the biggest brand companies in the world, as a Campus Representative and Commercial Assistant at Apple and Danone. Also, an early employee of the LatAm leader, Rappi where he was regional General Manager, launching many new country and city markets throughout Latin America.
