ABOUT OUR GUEST:

Eddie Arrieta is the CEO of MultiLingual Media.

When he was young, Eddie sold chocolates at school and helped his dad with his bottled water business, selling from store to store in every neighborhood in his hometown.

He was a young salesman.

At the age of 16, Eddie was fortunate to get scholarships to move to the United Kingdom, followed by the United States to finish his studies. He has led and participated in humanitarian projects around the world, including China, India, Colombia, and Trinidad and Tobago.

Eddie has co-founded a co-working space, a public relations agency, a coaching service, a bakery, a travel agency, a farm, and a family. It's safe to say he likes to go from “zero to a 100”.
