Reflecting on the past can unlock valuable insights, and in this episode, I sit down with Miguel to dive deep into the immigrant experience, personal growth, and career development. As I revisit my own immigration journey to Canada, I share key lessons on gratitude, adaptation, and the advice I’d give my younger self—like the importance of working part-time during college to build meaningful connections. Miguel offers powerful wisdom on mentorship, informational interviews, and embracing vulnerability as strengths for career success.
Listeners will gain insights into cultural adaptation, professional networking, and overcoming challenges that shape personal and professional growth. From nostalgic memories of Mexican cuisine like mole to embracing Canadian traditions, we explore how food, culture, and community play a vital role in feeling at home. Miguel’s journey highlights the power of resilience and how struggles can lead to transformation. This episode is packed with motivation, practical advice, and inspiring immigrant success stories that will empower listeners to embrace change, trust their journey, and take actionable steps toward career and personal fulfillment.

Gurasis (00:02):
so, miguel, now I want to get with the final segment,
but before that I introducedthis another segment I call it
know your host where I give myguests an opportunity to ask me
a question, although I know youhave asked me a couple of
questions on your podcast, butis there anything else you want
to ask me today?
Please go ahead okay.
Miguel (00:19):
Question for you is if you could redo your immigration
journey to canada, what wouldyou do differently?
Gurasis (00:26):
I think I've thought about that.
I will do nothing differently.
I will not.
I think I am absolutely okayand absolutely grateful how
several of the things unfolded.
The only thing, one tiny thing,would be.
I will tell my younger self, theperson who came good as he is,
who came the initial months,that work somewhere, like even
if you get like two hours a weekjust to work somewhere, because
(00:49):
, to be honest with you, I wasso occupied with my studies
because my college was five daysa week and even on the weekends
I was just going to the collegefor the group meetings, do
projects, and I absolutely lovemy program and I feel like my
program is what prepared me toget into the workforce.
But I think I would say thatgood is that at least work
somewhere for two hours, if youcan, a week.
(01:10):
Not because you needed thatmoney, of course you did who
doesn't like more money?
But just I think it will itallow me to build that a little
bit more connections and I thinkyou also feel a bit of more uh
groups you kind of be part of.
You feel more belonging, I feellike.
So that's why I would.
That's what exactly I would say, but otherwise I'm absolutely
(01:31):
happy with how several thingsunfolded, yeah I love that.
Miguel (01:35):
It's something that is more like a community as well,
compared of community andnetworking and yeah, I love that
exactly perfect.
Gurasis (01:42):
So now we get in the final segment of the podcast.
I call it Beneath the Accent.
I'm going to ask a couple ofquestions.
You can answer them in one wordor a sentence, or however you
feel like.
The idea is just to know moreabout you.
So, ready, ready.
So my first question is whatadvice would you give to your
younger self, and at what age?
Miguel (02:01):
Let's keep it within the last chapter of my life, which
is the Canadian chapter, becauseI have many tweets or many
messages that I would like tosend myself, my younger self,
and I will say vulnerability isa superpower, gratitude is your
compass and mentorship is whatis going to transform your life.
(02:26):
So keep it short and I canexpand, but I will say yeah,
focus on uh, being vulnerable,asking for help, focus on
gratitude, because there is nopoint in comparing with others.
That's a waste of time, that is, it's impossible to compare
with others because so manydifferent factors.
Just compare with yourself,with yourself.
And mentorship.
There is power in mentorship,but to get to mentorship, you
need community, you neednetworking.
(02:49):
So you need to learn to thosetwo skill sets.
Oh and lastly, the skill thatis going to change your life is
to master information interviews.
So that part is like if you canfocus on mastering information
interviews, then you're going tobe really good at networking,
then you're going to be reallygood at networking, then you're
going to be really good atcommunity, then you're going to
be really good at mentorship andnavigating either job
(03:10):
promotions or opening businesses, you name it.
Gurasis (03:13):
Great answer.
And what advice would you giveto your?
Not advice like what would youlike to say to your 60-year-old
self.
Miguel (03:20):
Oh, I have questions for my 60-year-old self.
I will say how can you find?
How did you find, harmony?
Because, um, the question why Ihave a question for me, harmony
is success.
For me, like success is notfinancial, like that's an
outcome, that's a symptom,that's uh, that's something that
happens just because you'refocused on the right things.
(03:41):
But harmony is in this worldwhere there's so much and so
much distraction and so muchflashiness and things that are
quite golden and distracting youfrom what is important.
Gurasis (03:54):
Yeah.
Miguel (03:54):
Harmony is like doing the right things at the right
time and giving the rightmindfulness.
So, for example, being a father, being, being a husband, being
a business person, being anemployee, being a friend, being
a brother, like putting all ofthat into the right moment,
right time and the right mindset.
(04:17):
Mind like the right share ofwallet in your mind, kind of
thing.
So it's sometimes it's almostimpossible, sometimes it's like,
oh, you need to sacrificesomething for other things, so
yeah, no harmony is huge.
So again, how did you go to that?
Because I I'm envisioning my 65or older self I was able to
accomplish.
So it's like, how did you gothere?
(04:38):
Like what, what are the steps?
Like, tell me more about it, Ijust need to do it now, you know
, because I'm so, um, sometimesI I get myself into like just
need to do it now.
You know, because I'm so.
Sometimes I get myself intolike I want results fast.
I want, you know, the microwavesolution is just 30 seconds and
I'm there.
But no, it's like, what can Ido?
Because that comes withdiscipline, that comes with
mindfulness, that comes with oh,again, another episode on.
(05:02):
Let's talk about harmony.
Gurasis (05:03):
But by that age I feel like you would be able to learn
how to tackle all that right.
But keeping that in mind, whatwould you say Like if it's not a
question, but like a statementto your 60-year-old self?
Miguel (05:18):
what would you say?
Oh, okay, I would say, dideverything I do was worth it.
Again, another question.
I guess I talk with questions.
I will say something like Ihope this worked.
Or I like yeah, like I hope theoutcome of this was meaningful
(05:38):
or significant.
Or I wish I knew better, butthis is with the information I
had.
I did all of this, so somethinglike that.
Gurasis (05:46):
Okay, we will go past that.
Okay, tell me about one dishfrom your home country that
always brings you nostalgia, ohwow.
Miguel (05:54):
Mole.
Mole is like an indian curry uhwell, mexican curry which is
made with so many differentspices and and so many different
ingredients.
Um, the reason it brings menostalgia is because my grandma
used to make it by herself andby scratch.
So it takes hours, sometimesdays, to make it and and it's
(06:14):
delicious.
It's quite flavorful and quitecomplex.
Sometimes people ask medescribe yourself with one dish.
I would say mole.
Just because of that, it has somuch and it tastes so different
whenever you try it.
And yeah, it's beautiful, it'samazing.
It's my go-to, myrecommendation If you want to
(06:35):
try some Mexican cuisine mole.
Gurasis (06:37):
Okay, perfect.
Tell us about your first friendthat you made in Canada and how
did you meet them?
Miguel (06:45):
Oh wow.
First friend in Canada was achurch.
I started going to a church andjust by being genuine, by being
myself.
I was not looking for a job atchurch, I was not to have a
hidden agenda or anything likethat, I was just like there just
to listen to the sermon, tovolunteer, to whatever.
(07:07):
And I think that freedomallowed me to be myself and be
genuine and and that helped meto create a great relationship.
And and then, without lookingfor it, that friend became
pivotal to for me to have mybiggest uh career promotion in
my, in my, in my canadianexperience like my journey.
Gurasis (07:26):
Are you still in touch with them?
Yes yeah, okay, perfect.
Tell us about this one canadiantradition that you have adopted
wholeheartedly.
It's been like more than adecade.
You are here, so tell us aboutthat.
That you have anywholeheartedly it's been like
more than a decade.
You are here, so tell us aboutthat that you have any certain
traditions, certain festival inCanada that you have adopted?
Miguel (07:43):
When I was living in Toronto I visited all of them.
I love the Greek one, I lovethe Poland that I had back in
Bloor, my favorite, I would saythe Greek, the greek festivals
uh, just because the food againwith food.
Gurasis (08:04):
Yeah, yeah, okay.
So what's something that youate for the first time in canada
?
Miguel (08:10):
oh, wow, memory lane, the first thing that I ate in
Canada was sushi.
Okay, yeah, it was a restaurantin Toronto and I was like, oh,
let's try it out.
And it was pretty good.
Gurasis (08:24):
Okay, and do you continue to love sushi, or have
you just stopped?
Miguel (08:27):
Yes, I love it.
The difference is that sushi inMexico is very different.
They put chocolate, they putmango.
Yeah, sometimes it's likedifferent flavors, very rich.
Again, I guess it's part of theculture where let's test it out
, let's see if it works.
And, yeah, it's amazing Again,imagine sushi with mango,
(08:47):
imagine sushi with pineapple,and different flavors.
Of course, the restaurant Iwent to was more Japanese and
the flavors were just, you know,straight, very authentic, and I
was like, oh, exactly, veryauthentic.
So I was like, oh, and thatreminded me of a trip where I
went to Japan and I was like,yeah, it tastes like Japanese
sushi.
So yeah.
Gurasis (09:08):
So my next question is if you had to describe yourself
as any creature, what would itbe?
Miguel (09:14):
Wow, these questions are quite cool.
If I can describe myself as anycreature, I would say it's a
combination between a dolphinand a turtle.
Why?
I know a dolphin is quite smart, fun and social.
A turtle is more like introvert, but very wise.
So I guess that would be aperfect description of sometimes
(09:36):
what I am.
Gurasis (09:38):
Very unique answer I've got.
Okay.
If you had to create this onelaw that everybody has to follow
, what would it be?
Miguel (09:47):
I will reuse a commandment from a religion
which is love others as much asyou love yourself as much as you
love yourself.
And I think that if people wereable to do that, or if people
did that, in my opinion therewould not be wars, there would
(10:08):
not be issues, because if I loveyou as much as I love myself
which a lot of people lovethemselves a lot then we would
live in a world full of love.
Gurasis (10:19):
Yeah, absolutely Great answer.
So describe Canada in one wordor a sentence.
Miguel (10:25):
I would say Canada.
It's a lovely struggle once youmake it.
Gurasis (10:34):
Absolutely.
Yeah, I can relate.
So, finally, if you could leaveme with one piece of advice,
what would it be?
Absolutely, yeah, I can relate.
Yeah, so, finally, if you couldleave me with one piece of
advice, what would it be?
Miguel (10:42):
oh boy, I see you as a mentor, so if I can give you,
some advice yeah, my piece ofadvice for you is you, you are
focusing on the right thing andyou're doing it at the right
moment.
My question is can you do more?
And I know it's not a piece ofadvice, it's more like a
(11:03):
challenge, and potentially theanswer is yes, potentially the
answer is no, but it's whyalways focus on more?
Because growth mindset, so it'slike what else is out there for
you and if you can, if you havedone all of this with so little
, I'm just wondering what elsecan you do which is impressive,
and I would like to see more youknow I actually love that.
Gurasis (11:25):
That's a great way to push me, to push my own limits,
you know, to go beyond my limits.
That's a great way to say that.
But once again, it's Miguel, soyou can expect a question from
a question.
You're so right.
Miguel (11:42):
It's funny because my mind goes to the questions.
I don't know why, but you'reright.
Like you know, growth is foundoutside comfort zone.
So if you are comfortable rightnow, awesome.
If you want to be comfortablein your life, awesome.
But if you want to grow, let'sget uncomfortable, and yeah.
So, of course, like it'spushing the limits.
Gurasis (12:04):
Awesome.
So, finally, how would youdescribe your experience of
being on this Matic Accentpodcast?
Miguel (12:11):
My own experience being here.
I loved it because I have nevershared so many different things
.
I talk with you, my ownexperience being here.
I loved it because I have nevershared so many different things
.
I talk with you.
It's one of those things whereit was also I felt therapeutic
in a way.
I felt therapeutic in a waybecause some of those questions
were like oh, you're right, Ithink now everything connects,
the reason why I want to helppeople, the reason that I do
this, everything had a reason.
(12:32):
So, going back to the questionof if you didn't want, want to
change anything, the answer isvery similar to me because, um,
I didn't want to change anything, just because my struggle
became my, my journey, and nowI'm helping people because of
that.
If my journey was perfect, Iwill not be helping people.
So maybe there was a way andthere is.
There is a why and there is away of all of this, um, the
(12:55):
importance of it.
So, yeah, it's.
It's one of those things thatis like everything has a purpose
and for people like you, I'mvery happy that you're listening
to to the message in a way thatyou're listening to yourself,
like you're listening to innergod, and say like, yes, let's,
let's do it.
So, yeah, I'm super happy andfor me, being in this podcast
(13:16):
has opened my eyes to be likemaybe I can do more, maybe I
should be doing more, becausejust looking at your example is
like, oh, wow, yeah, there is somany ideas I can do better.

some advice yeah, my piece ofadvice for you is you, you are
focusing on the right thing andyou're doing it at the right
moment.
My question is can you do more?
And I know it's not a piece ofadvice, it's more like a
(11:03):
challenge, and potentially theanswer is yes, potentially the
answer is no, but it's whyalways focus on more?
Because growth mindset, so it'slike what else is out there for
you and if you can, if you havedone all of this with so little
, I'm just wondering what elsecan you do which is impressive,
and I would like to see more youknow I actually love that.
Gurasis (11:25):
That's a great way to push me, to push my own limits,
you know, to go beyond my limits.
That's a great way to say that.
But once again, it's Miguel, soyou can expect a question from
a question.
You're so right.
Miguel (11:42):
It's funny because my mind goes to the questions.
I don't know why, but you'reright.
Like you know, growth is foundoutside comfort zone.
So if you are comfortable rightnow, awesome.
If you want to be comfortablein your life, awesome.
But if you want to grow, let'sget uncomfortable, and yeah.
So, of course, like it'spushing the limits.
Gurasis (12:04):
Awesome.
So, finally, how would youdescribe your experience of
being on this Matic Accentpodcast?
Miguel (12:11):
My own experience being here.
I loved it because I have nevershared so many different things
.
I talk with you, my ownexperience being here.
I loved it because I have nevershared so many different things
.
I talk with you.
It's one of those things whereit was also I felt therapeutic
in a way.
I felt therapeutic in a waybecause some of those questions
were like oh, you're right, Ithink now everything connects,
the reason why I want to helppeople, the reason that I do
this, everything had a reason.
(12:32):
So, going back to the questionof if you didn't want, want to
change anything, the answer isvery similar to me because, um,
I didn't want to change anything, just because my struggle
became my, my journey, and nowI'm helping people because of
that.
If my journey was perfect, Iwill not be helping people.
So maybe there was a way andthere is.
There is a why and there is away of all of this, um, the
(12:55):
importance of it.
So, yeah, it's.
It's one of those things thatis like everything has a purpose
and for people like you, I'mvery happy that you're listening
to to the message in a way thatyou're listening to yourself,
like you're listening to innergod, and say like, yes, let's,
let's do it.
So, yeah, I'm super happy andfor me, being in this podcast
(13:16):
has opened my eyes to be likemaybe I can do more, maybe I
should be doing more, becausejust looking at your example is
like, oh, wow, yeah, there is somany ideas I can do better.
