1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,960 Tell me about your vision. 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:07,360 Yeah, so I have a couple of different visions, right? 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,600 Right now, just so you understand, 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,360 I'm in a stage in life where I'm getting ready 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,320 for the emptiness life, right? 6 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,800 My kids are growing up and should 7 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,080 be leaving the household in the next three years. 8 00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:23,240 So my wife and I, we never really 9 00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:26,720 got to do much when we were younger, in our 20s and such. 10 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,360 So we want to go and our vision is to set ourselves up 11 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:37,840 for a nomadic life in the next, to be ready to start doing that 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,280 within the next three years. 13 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,120 And I think we would want to do that. 14 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,840 You never know, but I think maybe three to five years, 15 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,800 explore the Americas, explore the rest of the world. 16 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,960 We're thinking maybe a year where we're just 17 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,600 living out of a van and going through all 18 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,760 of the Americas, doing the van life thing, 19 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,800 but then also going to other parts of the world 20 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,920 and exploring. 21 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,360 And we're not the type of people who like to just go see a lot. 22 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,120 We like to go deep, rather go deep and wide. 23 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,480 So we want to spend a lot of time in each place 24 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,280 that we kind of like. 25 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,280 So early this year, we went to Japan, for example, 26 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,360 and we fell in love with it. 27 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,000 So we want to go back and spend a lot more time there. 28 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,280 So we're thinking maybe a year, go on a student visa, 29 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,720 learn Japanese at a Japanese institute, 30 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,640 and then we would get the visa and hang out there. 31 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,280 And ideally, we'd set ourselves up here in the States 32 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,800 to kind of be digital nomads, have some investments 33 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,480 to help support that lifestyle, but also businesses 34 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,880 that we'd be able to do that with as well. 35 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:55,960 But I also have a burning desire to build a legacy type 36 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,320 of business or foundation. 37 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,800 And maybe they go hand in hand. 38 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,040 I'd like to build a big business that just 39 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,600 does a lot of good for the community, 40 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,360 provides a lot of jobs, but also support 41 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,320 the foundation that goes back and gives 42 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,960 to underprivileged communities just to give them, 43 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,800 help them get on a level playing field with some 44 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,200 of the more mainstream communities 45 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,360 throughout the United States. 46 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,120 And in particular, I like to focus on small towns, 47 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,800 rural areas, not so much the inner cities, 48 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,600 even though that's usually what we think of with 49 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:35,760 underprivileged communities. 50 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,560 And I do come from somewhat of a near city background 51 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,200 and it was still a small town. 52 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,920 So what you find in that is that there's not as much exposure 53 00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:49,640 to some of the benefits that you're going to get, 54 00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:51,560 even if you live in an underprivileged community 55 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,200 within a big city. 56 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,720 For example, my younger years were in Queens, New York. 57 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,640 And we lived in Jackson Heights and were immigrant, 58 00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:03,960 underprivileged, poor family. 59 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,840 But I still went to school at a public school 60 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,320 and lived in a building where our neighbors and my classmates, 61 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,560 their parents were engineers and doctors and all that. 62 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,320 So it was a big melting pot. 63 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,080 And we got exposure to bigger and greater ideas. 64 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,440 But then in my high school years, 65 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,600 we moved to Central Falls, Rhode Island. 66 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,680 Central Falls is a square mile city, very poor, 67 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,360 very underprivileged. 68 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,840 Usually it's an immigrant working class town 69 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,280 outside of Providence. 70 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,040 And there you don't get exposure to anything else. 71 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,640 Everybody there, their parents immigrated here. 72 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,480 None of them went to college. 73 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,680 None of our friends went to college. 74 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,640 Nobody really had. 75 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,840 Our generation is kind of the trailblazers 76 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:54,000 for that middle class, upper class lifestyle. 77 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,840 So there's a lot we don't know. 78 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,600 We didn't have track and field. 79 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,360 We didn't have all the sports available, 80 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,600 all the after school clubs, all of the guidance counselors 81 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,560 who would help us get into good colleges and such. 82 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,160 Those things just didn't exist. 83 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,880 So I'd like to be able to provide those kind of services 84 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:20,240 so that people can get exposure to greater, 85 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,000 the same playing field everybody else gets to. 86 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,920 That's awesome. 87 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,640 Then what is your goal for being on the show, Luis? 88 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,760 Yeah, I started a podcast called The Wayfinder Show. 89 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,600 We launched our first episode on February 20, 2023. 90 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,960 And the goal is to inspire others to level up 91 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,720 in some area of their life. 92 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,160 And that area could be any of the pillars of life 93 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,520 that are important to us, whether it be wealth building 94 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,680 or family relationships, health, spirituality. 95 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:57,760 And we explore those. 96 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,480 We explore those either by meeting 97 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:08,080 with folks who have a great story of high achievement there, 98 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,680 overcoming adversity and such. 99 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,400 I find that to be very inspirational here 100 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,640 in the human stories. 101 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,600 Or also just talking to subject matter experts, 102 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,640 like somebody who excels in wealth building. 103 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:19,840 We'd love to talk to them. 104 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:21,760 And that way, they can teach others. 105 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,040 So that's really it. 106 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:30,080 We're trying to get the message out because we think, 107 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,920 we're hoping that people will listen and be inspired 108 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,320 and go and take action to level up. 109 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,680 Thank you for being here today. 110 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,160 I'm really happy that you tuned in to Vision Pros Live. 111 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,320 I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions as these 112 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,040 episodes continue to move forward. 113

people to participate in the show. 116 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,080 And thank you for giving us your time and attention. 117 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,800 Have an excellent time building out your
