OBS: Denne episode er på dansk. Herudover, har der været tekniske problemer under optagelserne, så lyden er ikke ligeså god som den plejer. Dog ville vi ikke udelade episoden, da vi synes der var så mange gode guldkorn og magiske input fra Gustav, så vi har fikset og udgivet episoden efter bedste evne. De kommende episoder vil have den normale gode lyd, som i kender. Tag godt imod Gustav!
Byd velkommen til Gustav Salinas, som er en alsidig iværksætter med en solid baggrund inden for sundhed, boligudlejning, og mediebranchen. Med sine rødder som en kendt reality-personlighed, har han brugt sin platform til at skabe flere succesfulde initiativer. Gustav har bl.a. udgivet en succesfuld bogserie om sund livsstil, udviklet en populær sundhedsapp, skabt et profitabelt ejendomsudlejningsimperium og grundlagt en virksomhed inden for sukkerfri slikprodukter.
Gustav har et forfriskende syn på livet og et utroligt mindset omkring, hvordan man konstant skal fokusere på at søge mulighederne, frem for se barrierne, fordi det kan bringe én helt utroligt langt - om det er iværksætteri eller karriere, så er det et budskab vi alle kan lære af.
I denne samtale vender Gustav og Maria emner som vigtigheden af at kunne sige 'pyt pyt' og komme videre fra de udfordringer eller afslag man møder på sin vej, vigtigheden i at have gode folk omkring sig og også være klar til at skille sig af med dem som over tid ikke bidrager til ens udvikling og rejse - selvom det kan være svært, samt konstant at fokusere på at gøre sig umage.
