For 25 years, I've never left Romania.
I was earning around $200 a month.
Thought that was my ceiling.
Then I built my first website in 2010.
It failed. So did the next few.
But one eventually attracted 200,000 visitors each day.
That website enabled me to leave my job a year later.
Life was good, bought a home, began travelling, and gave back.
But Google, as usual, decided to alter its algorithm.
My main source of income vanished overnight.
I had virtually no money in the bank.
Started freelancing using the skills I honed.
The early years were brutal.
I worked 15+ hours a day.
My health crashed.
Those setbacks taught me a lot.
But I won't bore you with "15 lessons" I learned.
What I would say, though, is that I didn't give up.
Instead, I reinvented myself, but in a different way this time.
I focused on sustainable systems instead of long hours.
I started building a business instead of freelancing.
Still, I felt there was more out there than "work".
In 2019, I sold everything and bought a one-way ticket to Asia.
Since then, I've lived in 11 countries and visited 25+.
All while helping clients in more than 15 countries.
Just over 2 years ago.
I reinvent myself again.
Without a huge business plan or goal.
Without prior experience in interviewing.
But leveraging my business and life experience.
The podcast was born.
And a dream was formed:
➤ to guide 10,000 to freedom through entrepreneurship.
Freedom to build your path, the way you choose, where you choose.
If a guy born in a small Romanian city, earning $200 a month, could do it, so can you.
What does freedom mean to you?
Pura Vida!
