What does it take to go from dishwasher… to becoming a Vice President of Technology Strategy at a global company?

In this deeply moving and energizing episode, we sit down with Gustavo Netto, who shares his remarkable journey from São Paulo to New York City with no English, no connections, and no safety net.

What makes his story extraordinary is the mindset shift he made by choosing growth over fear, and vision over circumstance. Gustavo’s story proves this: you don’t need to have it all figured out, you just need to keep building. Because, as he says, “Survival is just the first stage. Then comes growth. Then comes abundance and giving back.”
