Pardon My Spanish! How To Rise Above Hate & Live A Multi-Lingual Life.

#103: According to data released last year by the Census Bureau, 21% of Americans don’t speak English at home. My guest in this episode is Maribel Lara, you read that right! You get the two-for-one deal! In Spanish, we use the term, TOCAYA for when you have the same name as another person. And let me tell you, she does the name justice! I am a fan of Maribel’s calm wisdom and diplomatic view of the world. Ever heard of Gary V? She works with him as a VP of Special Projects at Vayner Media in NYC. Talking to Maribel is both refreshing and awakening. We discussed our experiences as Spanish-speakers in the U.S.A. and the criticism that often follows in public, as well as the importance of rising above hate, broadening our view of the world and living a proud multi-lingual life.

This is why I had to kick things off with someone super special who is living his passion, RIGHT NOW.

My guest, Doug Smith, left his full-time comfy and profitable career in fundraising to pursue his passion of playing golf at a professional level. His story is not that diferente from many others who have a dream. The big difference is that he decided to follow Steve Harvey's advice when he said... JUMP!
