Gonzalo was born in Venezuela and came to the U.S. as a 22 year old. His father wrote jingles for popular brands and was an Opera singer - he too sings Opera! He is advocate for better and is the host of his podcast @anchor.fm/InnoLatino. He and I could not come from more different backgrounds, but through our conversation we connected through our ups and downs of life. Enjoy my conversation with my friend, Gonzalo.
