Birth and Early Life in Portugal
I was born in Lisbon to a Brazilian mother and a Portuguese father, and from a young age, I was imbued with the rich cultural heritages of both nations. Portugal, known for its age of exploration, has a long history of sailors and merchants who set out into the unknown, driven by a thirst for discovery and trade. Figures like Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan exemplify the adventurous and entrepreneurial spirit that is a part of Portugals legacy. This sense of adventure and curiosity seems to be woven into my very DNA. Growing up, I was always a rebel. It didnt matter what the orders were; I simply didnt like following them. I had an immense need for freedom and a boundless energy that I struggled to control. This need for freedom and boundless energy might have come from my Brazilian blood. Brazil, my mothers homeland, has a history marked by its struggle for independence from Portuguese colonial rule, a struggle driven by a deep desire for self-determination and autonomy. Just as Brazil fought to forge its own path and break free from external constraints, I too have always sought to carve out my own path, unbound by the expectations and directives of others. The combination of these influences—the adventurous, entrepreneurial spirit of Portugal and the fierce independence of Brazil—has undoubtedly shaped me into the person I am today. After I started exercising regularly at the gym, I found that my mind became clearer, and I was able to focus more. The immense energy I once struggled to control turned into a powerful force, allowing me to work for long hours, sometimes 12 to 13 hours a day. With this background, becoming an entrepreneur was inevitable for me, driving me to explore new opportunities and make a lasting impact in the world of business.
