Welcome to Vietverse Eduardo( Lalo)! This episode is particularly special to our hosts and Nhi, whose dear friend will be joining us in solidarity and support among our BIPOC community.

Lalo is a designer by profession, marketeer by experience and further studies, but he’s an artist at heart. Eduardo has worked in big companies like Unilever and Bayer and studied a masters in Marketing in Switzerland which helped him land a couple of jobs in Geneva.

Now, Lalo is finally "coming out" as an artist; this year he’s decided life’s too short to do something(s) that he doesn't love. So he’s decided to ditch the freelance work and focus on art with a purpose! Lalo finally rediscovered his passion for the arts, his inspiration and his purpose by moving away from the city to go live close to nature in the mountains.

Lalo’s new project’s purpose is to create awareness and to inspire people through art to take real action against wildlife loss. By creating beautiful, unique art pieces that generate positive emotions and sharing crucial information about endangered species, he hopes to transmit the sense of urgency that the world desperately needs and frame it around a pleasing image and an optimistic feeling.

In this episode, Lalo shares his re-ignited passion for the arts and how a trip to Mexico reminded him of his inner creativity and creator. He speaks to being a better friend to yourself and taking the space and time you need to find fulfilment as the best version of yourself to yourself, so you may be that to others.

A very special thanks to my friend, Simon Bernhard for helping with the editing of this episode - Nhiyc.
