“Dale, keep going, you got this!” We’ve all heard it. And at times, we need it, but at times… my Tío Elmer says, this might actually be holding us back.
In this episode, I sit down with Elmer Díaz—an engineer turned digital nomad from Puerto Rico who literally works from anywhere on Earth—to talk about the real meaning of resiliency. Not the boomer version (even though he is one). Not the “grind until you break” version. The modern version; our new version.
We get into:
✔️Why sometimes the most resilient thing you can do is PIVOT, not persevere.
✔️The difference between pushing through vs. pausing to ask, “Is this still meant for me?”
This episode is your permission-slip to stop forcing things and start choosing yourself: Stop, reflect, and ask, “What’s next? Is it to keep pushing or is it time to pivot?”
🎧 Hit play and let’s understand what resiliency actually looks like.
