Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves. This week's guest is none other than your host Pabel Martinez. Pabel Martinez is a native New Yorker, storyteller, and former tech executive. Throughout his career, Pabel was trained to believe that many parts of his identity were unprofessional. Pabel would dedicate days out of the week to studying "white popular American culture" and memorizing scripts he would later use for work conversations. He knew that talking about Bad Bunny and shows like Insecure, would not make him relatable. Instead, he would binge-watch seasons of Riverdale since it would help him build relationships with colleagues and senior leaders. The assimilation became overwhelming, and it was at the expense of his identity & mental health.As a result, Pabel's mission in life became redefining professionalism by empowering authenticity. In 2020, he launched Plurawl to bring this mission to life.This week, Pabel shares his favorite, least favorite, and most surprising part about launching/ managing a Kickstarter campaign. With only a few days left until the campaign ends on June 14th, Pabel also opens up about what's next...after the Kickstarter.Follow Pabel on:Website: https://plurawl.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plurawl/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@plurawl LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pabelmartinez/ Support the app through our Kickstarter!Click here to book a Pabel for a speaking engagementPodcast production for this episode was provided by Sarah Tulloch, founder of the podcast production company CCST.Support our show by becoming a premium member! https://feeds.megaphone.fm/SCOSR3144394743

Do your bowel movements change when you have anxiety? Pabel's been struggling with anxiety since launching the Kickstarter for Plurawl last week (click here to support). Don't ask Pabel "How are you?". Instead, ask Pabel..."When's the last time you went to the bathroom?"...because that will tell you all about how his anxiety is doing. When he's REALLY anxious...his bowel movements will shut down and it may even be a few days without #2. Yes. This may be TMI, but it's also the perfect illustration of how the mind impacts the body. Mental health impacts your physical health. Support our show by becoming a premium member! https://feeds.megaphone.fm/SCOSR3144394743
