"The relationship with your father will have an impact on you that won’t recognize until much later" - Juan Romera.

Isra Garcia interviews Juan Romera, a natural-born leader and human potential catalyzer, about building meaningful and impactful interactions, networking in a way that truly makes a difference, making honest, dignified and, at the same time, effective sales, being a great human being by highlighting and bringing greatness to others. It's a conversation about leading a virtuous life, creating excellence as a moral act and giving the best of oneself for the good of your surrounding.

“Do the right thing even if it’s the difficult path…the universe will even you out later.”

This conversation also explores biohacking, psychedelics, productivity hacks, being smart and authentic, getting rid of the heavy weight of one's identity, peak performance habits and carrying a self-examined life.
