Tell me about your vision.
Yeah, so I have a couple of different visions, right?
Right now, just so you understand,
I'm in a stage in life where I'm getting ready
for the emptiness life, right?
My kids are growing up and should
be leaving the household in the next three years.
So my wife and I, we never really
got to do much when we were younger, in our 20s and such.
So we want to go and our vision is to set ourselves up
for a nomadic life in the next, to be ready to start doing that
within the next three years.
And I think we would want to do that.
You never know, but I think maybe three to five years,
explore the Americas, explore the rest of the world.
We're thinking maybe a year where we're just
living out of a van and going through all
of the Americas, doing the van life thing,
but then also going to other parts of the world
and exploring.
And we're not the type of people who like to just go see a lot.
We like to go deep, rather go deep and wide.
So we want to spend a lot of time in each place
that we kind of like.
So early this year, we went to Japan, for example,
and we fell in love with it.
So we want to go back and spend a lot more time there.
So we're thinking maybe a year, go on a student visa,
learn Japanese at a Japanese institute,
and then we would get the visa and hang out there.
And ideally, we'd set ourselves up here in the States
to kind of be digital nomads, have some investments
to help support that lifestyle, but also businesses
that we'd be able to do that with as well.
But I also have a burning desire to build a legacy type
of business or foundation.
And maybe they go hand in hand.
I'd like to build a big business that just
does a lot of good for the community,
provides a lot of jobs, but also support
the foundation that goes back and gives
to underprivileged communities just to give them,
help them get on a level playing field with some
of the more mainstream communities
throughout the United States.
And in particular, I like to focus on small towns,
rural areas, not so much the inner cities,
even though that's usually what we think of with
underprivileged communities.
And I do come from somewhat of a near city background
and it was still a small town.
So what you find in that is that there's not as much exposure
to some of the benefits that you're going to get,
even if you live in an underprivileged community
within a big city.
For example, my younger years were in Queens, New York.
And we lived in Jackson Heights and were immigrant,
underprivileged, poor family.
But I still went to school at a public school
and lived in a building where our neighbors and my classmates,
their parents were engineers and doctors and all that.
So it was a big melting pot.
And we got exposure to bigger and greater ideas.
But then in my high school years,
we moved to Central Falls, Rhode Island.
Central Falls is a square mile city, very poor,
very underprivileged.
Usually it's an immigrant working class town
outside of Providence.
And there you don't get exposure to anything else.
Everybody there, their parents immigrated here.
None of them went to college.
None of our friends went to college.
Nobody really had.
Our generation is kind of the trailblazers
for that middle class, upper class lifestyle.
So there's a lot we don't know.
We didn't have track and field.
We didn't have all the sports available,
all the after school clubs, all of the guidance counselors
who would help us get into good colleges and such.
Those things just didn't exist.
So I'd like to be able to provide those kind of services
so that people can get exposure to greater,
the same playing field everybody else gets to.
That's awesome.
Then what is your goal for being on the show, Luis?
Yeah, I started a podcast called The Wayfinder Show.
We launched our first episode on February 20, 2023.
And the goal is to inspire others to level up
in some area of their life.
And that area could be any of the pillars of life
that are important to us, whether it be wealth building
or family relationships, health, spirituality.
And we explore those.
We explore those either by meeting
with folks who have a great story of high achievement there,
overcoming adversity and such.
I find that to be very inspirational here
in the human stories.
Or also just talking to subject matter experts,
like somebody who excels in wealth building.
We'd love to talk to them.
And that way, they can teach others.
So that's really it.
We're trying to get the message out because we think,
we're hoping that people will listen and be inspired
and go and take action to level up.
Thank you for being here today.
