You know what you have to do... don't you?


You know what you need to do… oh yes.

But…

You live in an outdated machine. Well… We live.

Nothing excites your taste buds like fat and sugar.

Nothing.

​
Why?
Because, in a time when those resources were scarce, nature invented that way of telling you that if you came across something that gave you energy, you should gorge yourself on it.

​
The problem?
Your tongue still works like it did 200,000 years ago, but you live next to a supermarket full of industrial pastries and chips.

​
The result?
If left alone, you'd be capable of consuming junk food until you’re nauseous.

​
Right? Of course. Let's continue.

Do you know what your buttocks love the most?
No, not that.
The couch and Netflix, because if you rest, it means you don’t have to go out and hunt.

And your brain?
Avoiding the unexpected and conflict, because encountering a bear or running out of water could mean the end.

​
The result?
If left alone, you’re capable of stuffing yourself with security until you’re nauseous. Living life avoiding the fight, the cold, the failure.
And filling all your gaps with unnecessary considerations, unnecessary processes, and justifying your day based on meetings, meals, and scheduling appointments in your agenda.

​
Because it feels good, but don’t be fooled—it’s not right.

​
Even if the government doesn’t run campaigns to warn you about it. Quite the opposite. They love your binge on stability…

You know that uncomfortable means growth.

Talking to new people.

Learning new things.

Calling instead of sending an email or a WhatsApp.

Having that conversation that you should have had long time ago but you are just deferring and deferring.

And so on…

The alternative. Netflix and junk food.

What I propose you.

This.

Growth and high return.

There is a project that I follow even if I live now at the other side of the Pacific. It is… or it was… or it will be one day, one of the most ambitious (and game changer) infrastructure projects in the world. It was also meant to be a PPP. California High-Speed Rail The idea sounded great: Connect major cities. Reduce emissions. Transform mobility. On paper, it had everything. In reality… it had a problem. The scope was never stable… and still it’s not. Routes changed. Stations moved....

Not corruption. Not politics. Just… incompetence. A real project. $800M. In LatAm… No more details, as in this distribution list, there are too many people living in that country… Here you are the 4 red flags that would have helped you to smell blood miles away. First red flag: They didn’t understand their own project. I’m not exaggerating. They launched the RFP with: Misaligned traffic studies Outdated geotech data A design that didn’t match the environmental permits Second: They outsourced...

Selling used stuff online is hard work. A lottery. A candy box. I tried it once. In less than 5 minutes, I got a message. 30 seconds later, I knew it was a scam. Emoticons. Broken grammar. Asking for my number immediately… when the platform literally tells you not to. Block the user. Close the chat. And then do what a good SPV CEO does… Subcontract. Pass it to someone who knows better. Create the right incentives. Supervise. Manage issues. Etc. Life is just another PPP. Your standards say a...
