In this episode of Bubbling Out, I sit down with Mario Alves, an entrepreneur and founder of LayerX and BakerFi, to unpack the nitty-gritty of self-leadership, belief, and successful team management. Mario's journey from the banking world to becoming a leader in the Web3 space is full of lessons that'll resonate with many of you.

We dive deep into the power of self-reflection, setting clear goals, and trusting your gut - skills that are often overlooked but crucial for any leader. Mario doesn't hold back when sharing his experiences, and I think you'll find his practical advice on handling those dreaded difficult conversations super helpful.

One thing that really struck me was our discussion on personal boundaries. As entrepreneurs, we often push ourselves to the limit, but Mario reminds us why it's so important to define our non-negotiables. And let's be honest, who doesn't struggle with that sometimes?

We also chat about fostering a work environment where your team feels genuinely valued and aligned with your vision. Mario's insights on knowing when to let go and trust your team hit home for me - it's something I'm constantly working on in my own business.

Whether you're just starting out or you've been in the game for a while, I believe Mario's journey and the lessons he's learned along the way will give you a fresh perspective on leadership. So grab a cup of coffee (or tea!), and let's dive in!
