Today’s guest has a story that feels like it was written for the big screen.
Born in Brazil and one of 21 siblings, he learned the value of hard work and family from a young age. At just 13 years old, he made a powerful decision—to help his parents manage the monthly bills, planting the first seeds of responsibility and purpose.
Fast forward to today, he is the founder and president of the Seeds of Dreams Institute, a place where vision meets action and potential is nurtured into greatness. He spent years as an executive at The Walt Disney Company, learning from and contributing to the magic behind one of the most iconic brands in the world.
He’s the author of 8 books, a filmmaker who brought stories to life through a short movie and a documentary about Walt Disney, and an unwavering believer in the power of dreams.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
