Passion and purpose take center stage as Claudia Mosley, co-founder of Global Dreams USA, shares her remarkable journey from Bogota to Medellin and Cartagena, where her commitment to social responsibility and education reshapes futures. Claudia's heartfelt stories of building educational centers and providing scholarships across Colombia highlight the transformative power of education and the essential role of collaboration with local organizations. Her partnership with MRT, supporting veterans through diving, illustrates how combining efforts can significantly change lives, proving that when communities unite, extraordinary things happen.
With a focus on building networks and inspiring youth, celebrations and partnerships become tools for change. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, we’ve seen firsthand how community support can turn fundraising dreams into reality. Collaborations with organizations like Techo, Girls Club, and the Boys and Girls Club underscore the importance of diverse partnerships in achieving social impact. These alliances not only meet financial goals but also foster a sense of unity and purpose, validating the idea that active participation and shared missions drive success.
Empowerment through education and community service isn't just a theme—it's a movement. Our initiative "Headshots for a Cause" merges professional growth with philanthropy, proving that even small actions can yield profound results. As we recount experiences of working with local groups and witness the ripple effect of our efforts, the undeniable influence of authenticity in networking becomes clear. Join us on a journey to inspire future generations, as we invite you to engage with meaningful projects and explore the cultural richness of Colombia, setting the stage for lasting impact and personal growth.

Welcome to Visual Eyes.
Today, I have a special guest,Claudia Mosley, and so welcome
to the show.
Claudia Mosley (00:43):
Thank you.
Thank you so much for theinvitation.
Chris Baker (00:46):
Oh yeah, you're totally welcome.
So I'd like you to talk alittle bit about your journey
and what inspired you to cofound Global Dreams USA.
Claudia Mosley (00:56):
Perfect.
So I've been into socialresponsibility since 2010.
We started helping differentprojects in Colombia, in South
America.
That's where I'm from.
More specifically, I started inBogota, which is where I was
born.
So the first project that wedid was with an organization
(01:18):
called Los Valientes de David,and it's in a rural area where
there's no water or electricity,in the skirts of the mountains
of Bogota and very, very poorarea.
We helped build a center.
We helped also get donationsfor instruments and art
(01:42):
materials.
We have volunteers that now goevery week On the weekend.
They teach English French.
It was really a beautifulproject and we did that for two
years.
Then we moved to another projectin Medellin.
Then we moved to anotherproject in Cartagena.
(02:03):
The one in Cartagena wasbeautiful because was a lot, uh,
concentrated to the humantraffickers, okay, and uh, it
was in an island called um.
Um, it's right, 15 minutes fromcartagena, but the only way
that you can get to to that isum with a boat, okay, um, and
(02:26):
the same thing.
They get water once a week.
Many of them don't haveelectricity.
It depends um.
So we build a center, thatschool, and that was through a
religion organization here, achurch, okay, um, and again.
We helped them for like threeyears and then I fell into
(02:47):
Global Dreams and most of thekids in the organizations that
we had helped were more foryounger kids.
Global Dreams' mission is tohelp young adults graduate from
university.
Help young adults graduate fromuniversity.
(03:11):
So we have right now 16 activestudents and they are all of
them have a scholarship 80 to100 percent and very different
universities in.
Bogota, medellin, choco,villavicencio.
So now we're not justconcentrated in just one area,
we have different parts of thecountry and these kids are
brilliant and if it wasn't forour help, they would have to
(03:35):
give up school so that they canwork to survive.
So, what we do is we help themwith room and boarding.
We have an apartment that wehold six students and then the
other 10, we pay them with roomand boarding.
We have an apartment that wehold six students and then the
other 10, we pay them to rent aroom and transportation.
And these kids are brilliant.
I mean, we have a scientistthat graduated, we have a chef,
(03:58):
we have a marketing director, wehave veterinarian.
We right now have an activemedical.
She's studying medicine in oneof the best universities of
Bogota, which is El Rosario 100%scholarship.
Wow, brilliant kid, sheactually got the scholarship.
She was the best, the mosthighest score of the like.
(04:27):
What here is?
The SAT over there is calledEFIX.
Chris Baker (04:29):
Um, she was the higher school in the country in
the country in the country soshe got full school.
Claudia Mosley (04:33):
I mean to be in the university.
A rosario you either have tohave a lot of money.
I have to be very brilliant,and that's what she is.
So we, we fought, we, we sawthat throughout all my journey,
education has always been themotive of helping um those type
(04:53):
of populations we always feltthat even in the projects that
we helped with the little kids,it was introducing art and music
and, you know, for them to seethe bigger picture of the world
and not the world that they livein.
So that was what's motivated mewas to take them out of their
(05:16):
current situation and, througheducation, show them that there
is opportunity, that there is abetter choice, that there is
another side of this spectrum.
So that's really what motivated.
Now, when we startedfundraising, our journey became
(05:37):
that we realized that in ourcommunity we were going to get a
lot more help from our peersand colleagues and other
networking groups If we alsoshare the fundraising with a
local organization, because,being an international
(05:57):
organization, not a lot ofpeople are motivated to keep
giving to an international, butwhen you and we have done it
with different organizationsRight now we're having an event
with MRT.
Mrt is a beautiful organizationfor veterans.
They treat their PST is thathow you call?
Chris Baker (06:19):
it yeah, ptsd, ptsd , yep.
Claudia Mosley (06:22):
And by diving, and they have shown that the
results are wonderful and youknow what more better than to
give to the people that haverisked their life for our
freedom, for our security?
So that organization is verydear to my heart.
(06:44):
Monica is a girl that I knowfor a long time and she's done
an amazing job with theorganization and I always said
to her I like to.
We did an event in the past andit was completely success,
because when two people from alocal and an organization like
(07:06):
mine get together, I feel thatwe can accomplish more and we
feel more satisfied that we alsodid something locally.
Chris Baker (07:16):
Right, that's actually one of the reasons why
we're starting this podcast upagain.
is because we're looking tomake sure that we talk about
ways that people can collaborate, non-profit to non-profit,
non-profit to business and allof these ways.
So I'm glad that you had theopportunity to connect with mrd
and monica um, we actually hadone of her board members on the
(07:38):
show oh nice, and so we actuallygot to talk about MRD a little
bit more that way too.
So I completely agree with youLike once you actually add two
nonprofits together, you aremultiplying the effect.
Claudia Mosley (07:58):
It's so much more supporting us.
Every time we give them like achoice for them to see what the
local organizations are doing,you'd be surprised how much many
of them get more motivated toget involved.
So we're not only doing it forthe fundraising, but also to
educate people on what otherorganizations are doing locally,
(08:21):
create awarenesses.
Um, I feel that every humanbeing needs to be socially
responsible.
I mean, that is a part of yourlife and a part of your mission
in this beautiful world.
Is, when you leave this world,what did you do?
What?
Chris Baker (08:41):
legacy did you?
Claudia Mosley (08:42):
leave behind.
You know, I I feel like everyhuman being has come to this
world to do something we allhave to take advantage of your
life to be happy, obviously, butby being happy.
to me, being happy also meansserving, giving others, and you
know it's amazing and I havealways tell people what makes
(09:05):
you a good human being is notreally being a good mother or a
good wife or a good friend and afamily member, because that's
already given to you.
You know, to me a good humanbeing is that person that does
something for another humanbeing that has nothing to do
with you blood related, that youdon't even know but it gives
(09:28):
you the satisfaction that youdid something and now they are
in another level, and theexperience that we have now
because we take a lot ofbusiness people with us every
year to Bogota, colombia.
so that they can meet the kids,we have a lot of fun.
It's an incredible trip, butthe most important day is the
(09:55):
day that we get together withthe kids and they speak and they
tell their stories, and that'swhen you realize that not only
do we give them the opportunityto succeed, but every single one
of those kids are involved in asocial responsibility within
the university or within theirlocal town, and that, to us, is
it's like we know we didsomething right.
Chris Baker (10:18):
Right you know.
Claudia Mosley (10:19):
We know that we taught him how to be socially
responsible and to give, and theimportance of giving, because
otherwise they would not be ableto succeed as they are now.
So that, to us, has been anamazing part of this whole
journey is the trips seeing howadvanced they've gotten, seeing
(10:40):
the ones that are graduating andhow good they're doing, and see
that all of them are involvedin social responsibilities in
their local it's so amazing tohear that you know you're
opening these opportunities forthese individuals that just they
would not have, and I mean thelist that you just went through
(11:01):
doctor, executive director,executive director, veterinarian
these are high.
Researches.
Chris Baker (11:06):
You know these are high positions, that scientists,
all of these are wonderful,like they're going to help
change the world.
Claudia Mosley (11:13):
Yes.
Chris Baker (11:14):
And without this you know, organization, they
couldn't have gotten that far.
So it's just beautiful to hearthat Global Dreams is making
global dreams happen.
Claudia Mosley (11:24):
And I tell you, you know, we right now for us to
support the 16 kids that wehave.
It's a little bit under $20,000a year.
But, it's $20,000 a year thatwe have to do events that we
have people that support us.
Every month my B&I group hasbeen amazing this year.
(11:44):
I was for almost $4,000 to meetmy goal and one of the lawyers
got up and said I'm willing tomatch up to $1,500 if you guys
jump in.
In one meeting I thirty fivehundred dollars so I only had in
(12:09):
the five hundred dollars.
Obviously we met and, yeah, it,that's much easier, and so the
the support that we get from thecommunity and we did an event.
Um, we usually do it eithermemorial day weekend or labor
day weekend.
So this year uh the past we dida Labor Day weekend.
Chris Baker (12:27):
Okay.
Claudia Mosley (12:28):
We had the major of the Sheriff's Department
Office, which is Renee Peterson,came.
Chris Baker (12:35):
She's come twice.
Oh, she has Awesome.
Claudia Mosley (12:38):
So she has now created a relationship with some
of the kids where she now wantsto see.
Uh, you know what they did lastyear and how everything evolved
, and you know um, we had martyelbert.
He's one of the, the members ofmy group.
Uh, we had from from the frommy bni, about five of them went
(12:59):
we had 23 people.
We had an amazing amazing tripand a lot of them when they hear
the kids speak, the youngadults speak, and how much they
are involved in their day-to-day, how are they in their careers.
A lot of them got recognized.
(13:20):
Even we have a designer, aclothes, uh, fashion designer.
Yeah well, he has won twice thebest in his university and his
model got shown in the.
They have like a um, a museumin downtown bogota.
Okay, which is la moda museum?
(13:41):
Well, he's, his sketch, or hismodel, was there in exhibition
for three months.
And now he's got it again onanother level.
So it's amazing to see thelevel of compromise that these
kids have, knowing that theyhave a group of people that they
(14:04):
see.
They care.
Chris Baker (14:06):
That's fantastic.
That is wonderful.
So, besides MRD, what othercollaboration and partnerships
have you can talk about thatyou've experienced?
Claudia Mosley (14:19):
So we've done.
We've done so manyorganizations.
I know we did Techo.
We did the Girls club, whichthey do almost the same thing
here in the United States theyhave a high school and then,
once they graduate, we alsohelped another organization
(14:41):
called Fitzy, which does exactlythe same thing we do for foster
care kids here.
We've done the Boys and GirlsClub.
We've done Flippany.
Flippany is an organizationthat helps with nutrition in
(15:08):
schools and how to get themaware to eat a much better meal
like vegetables.
They help them grow.
It's a really good meal likevegetables and they help them
grow and it's a really goodorganization too.
So there was this year.
The past.
We didn't have that many events.
As of right before the pandemicwe used to have an event every
month, and every month we'llchoose a different local
(15:29):
organization.
To work To share the events tofundraise, okay, good so for us,
it was simultaneously we werehelping local and we were
meeting the goals that we neededto to help the organizations in
colombia, that's fantastic,that's great.
Chris Baker (15:49):
Um, so sometimes this may be a challenging.
You know working and trying towork together with other
collaborations, and so they,kind of you, might be unique
challenges.
Can you explain any of the keylessons that you've learned by
working with all of thesedifferent organizations so that
other our viewers can actuallythink of different ways, that
(16:11):
they can think of how to workthrough some of the challenges
they might experience?
Well it depends.
Claudia Mosley (16:15):
We did have some challenges.
Some of the organizations, uh,took the opportunity of having
an event and, in another group,like, really all they had to do
was show up and we required thatat least they had 20 guests so
that we have enough people tofundraise more.
(16:38):
So we had some organizationsthat dropped the ball and they
just showed up and they didn'tdo any efforts on promoting the
event or being more proactive.
Where we have others that wedid amazing because they did the
promoting, the inviting, thecollaboration on sponsorship,
Like I said, the one that we didwith Monica and I think that
(17:00):
was in October of last year wasa complete success.
It was beautiful.
I mean, we had a full room, thecollaboration was great, the
energy in that night's event wasreally beautiful.
So that's the learningexperience.
Experience is that you know we.
You have to sit down with theorganization that you're
(17:21):
choosing and really explain whatis the goal of the event.
Right, not just you know we.
We're choosing you, we want tohelp you, but we need to make
sure that we both at the samelevel so that we can make sure
that the event is successful.
Chris Baker (17:38):
Correct, yeah, so one of the other things we have
as a collaboration effort is ournew program called Headshots
for a Cause, and I thought thatwas the most amazing thing that
you can come up with, because,no, for real, every uh
professional needs to update apicture.
Claudia Mosley (17:56):
I mean when I see sometimes the business card
with a picture of a guy thatlooks like 20 years ago it's
like, it's like, so you knowwhen like I, I never, was never
dated, and so in how do you callthat in those platforms?
But it's a lie.
It's like yo, this was you 20years ago.
You need to show yourself howyou look today and there's
(18:17):
nothing wrong.
Chris Baker (18:18):
I mean, obviously, the human being ages correct as
part of the you know world andthe day-to-day, but I do feel
that it's very important for youto get an actual profile
picture yearly, if you can yeah,I would recommend, even if you
can't do it, yearly every twoyears for sure yeah, it's so
important because, as we'rebusiness, you know networking
(18:42):
and everything and they're goingto go check out your profiles
on linkedin and maybe facebook,wherever you might be using
social media, if it doesn't looklike they met the same person
that we met exactly that's notthe same person and they may
just move on yeah because it'slike oh, that wasn't who I
actually, or no?
Claudia Mosley (18:59):
or sometimes you like.
Okay, why hasn't he changed thepicture?
Chris Baker (19:04):
or that too.
Is he stuck or is she?
Claudia Mosley (19:07):
stuck in how she looked 20 years ago.
I come on, you need to move on.
It's part of being aprofessional.
Move on, yes.
Chris Baker (19:17):
So at the end of 2024, we did some pilot testing
with a couple organizations tosee how this was going to work
and now we really saw thebenefit of what we could do to
help nonprofits through theheadshots for our cause.
And so now we choose threenonprofits every quarter and
(19:40):
those three nonprofits, you knowwe're going to create the
marketing material.
We do.
You know all.
We create an entire website.
They can go to headshots.
The number for a causecom, andyou can go and easily just
select.
I'm ready for my headshot PickGlobal Dreams USA Pay the $250.
Causecom, and you can go andeasily just select.
I'm ready for my headshot pickglobal dreams USA pay the two 50
.
And then all of the netproceeds go directly to the
(20:02):
nonprofit.
That's a beautiful thing.
Claudia Mosley (20:05):
And I tell you because I belong to two
different organizations it'seasier for me to say hey, you
know, you always said how can I,how can we contribute?
This is something that canimpact you professionally so you
can get a brand new shot.
But this wonderful company ishelping nonprofits by giving a
(20:26):
percentage of their proceeds tothe nonprofits.
If you want to help me, I feellike it's a a gain in both
parties.
Right, because you need a headshop and sometimes, uh, they are
extremely, um, expensive.
Sometimes people don't like theway they come out.
Sometimes the people don't likethe personalities, um, of the
(20:49):
people that is taking the photo,um, and you.
I do do have to say that youand Momo are the most giving,
loving.
Chris Baker (20:58):
Oh, thank you.
Claudia Mosley (20:59):
Which makes you feel more comfortable, right.
I don't feel nervous in frontof a camera when I'm with you
where sometimes I could feel alittle fear or nervous.
You definitely have a gift ofmaking people feel comfortable.
Chris Baker (21:18):
I appreciate that.
Yeah, that's actually.
It's one of my passions toreally kind of like calm a room.
I do use energy, work inwherever I'm at because I'm like
I want you to be your authenticself, I want you to be feeling
safe, and if you can't be safeand you can't be your authentic
self, you're not moving forward.
(21:38):
And that's where I feel likeone of my gifts is just helping
those people feel that way sothat they can make the change
that needs to happen in theworld.
So I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Looking forward, what are someof the strategic priorities for
global dreams and how is thatgoing to help future
(22:02):
collaborations to support theunderprivileged students in
latin america?
Claudia Mosley (22:07):
so what we did, knew was you know, we, we?
I got into my um, my networkinggroup.
I changed from my professionalto my non-profit um and we
wanted to see how that um, thateffort, will work for the
(22:27):
organization.
And we had amazing results, ohgood, so well that I don't think
I can go back to myprofessional in that group
anymore, because you knowstaying with the nonprofit has
been so rewarding and is what weneeded, like now, finally, we
(22:49):
see a growth.
So we just took three morestudents.
Chris Baker (22:52):
Really, yes, congratulations, see a growth.
So we just took three morestudents.
Uh, yes, so congratulations.
Claudia Mosley (22:56):
So we see that, um, when we have a collaboration
by uh, belonging to a group ofpeople and we have in our, in
our group, we have about 35people and and believe it or not
that most of them are involved.
Most of them are giving merecurring donations, most of
them show up to the events.
(23:17):
Most of them give me forsponsorship.
Like I said, at the end of theyear, I was missing my quarter
and they got up and say, hey,claudia needs to make her
quarter for the nonprofit sothat the kids can get an
education.
Come on, we can do this.
And it was fundraising a day, soit was amazing, amazing,
(23:39):
amazing.
Chris Baker (23:40):
Yeah, you have a good group of people.
I have actually visited yourgroup and I just was like wow,
these people are so connected,so well loved, so connected.
Claudia Mosley (23:49):
Yes, yes, I feel like the group of marketing and
events.
They really do a good job ongetting people together, so we
do get for lunch almost everyother week.
We all get a group of peopletogether.
Chris Baker (24:08):
Oh nice.
Claudia Mosley (24:08):
And it's not only the different power teams.
Tomorrow we have the realestate and the business power
team getting together.
Chris Baker (24:18):
Oh good.
Claudia Mosley (24:18):
And it's one of my clients' restaurants, so I
always look a way of helpingeveryone involved.
Chris Baker (24:26):
Right, yeah, exactly.
Claudia Mosley (24:28):
So we have a client that is called Mario
Cubano and he's opening up therestaurant and we're doing lunch
there and usually we have about20 people show up.
Oh, that's fantastic.
Chris Baker (24:40):
Yes, that's a good amount of people and I tell you
that's fantastic.
Claudia Mosley (24:43):
Yes, that's a good amount of people.
And I tell you, the meetingsare very structured.
It's so nice that it's sowell-instructed, but I feel like
the only way that you canreally get to know them as a
person is by the events outsidethose meetings that we do, and
we do a lot of events, like wehad the Christmas party and
(25:05):
everybody showed up at theChristmas party.
Like we had a full house.
Chris Baker (25:09):
That's fantastic.
Claudia Mosley (25:10):
Full house and you know the chapter tries to
make it so that the membersdon't pay for the party.
But that's a collaboration of alot of raffles that we do
throughout the year.
Right, lot of raffles that wedo throughout the years, a lot
of things that we do throughoutthe years and we always remind
the members remember the moreyou participate.
(25:30):
This is for the crisp the endof the year party, because we do
look forward to all of us gettogether and really celebrate.
So this year was great.
Chris Baker (25:40):
We had a great time it's those moments that you get
to connect, that really kind ofhelp bond you.
Because when you sit through anormal meeting, yeah, you get to
hear what people are lookingfor and everything else.
Claudia Mosley (25:52):
But it's those other meetings outside, when
you're having a drink with them,having a lunch with them,
having coffee yes, to get toreally know them and you know I
do a lot of events in my housewhere I welcome them to come
with their families, um, so I wehad one I think it was in
august, where they came withtheir kids and their spouses,
(26:15):
and that's really a way for agroup of people to engage,
because not only are youengaging on a one-to-one level,
but now you're seeing them as afather, as a husband, as their
kids are there.
It's a really great way ofgetting to really know the group
, and that's how a group gets alot more stronger is when they
(26:40):
get to know each other better.
Chris Baker (26:42):
And if any of you ever get the chance to go to one
of her parties, she makesamazing pizza in her brick oven
Like it's all outside Amazing.
Claudia Mosley (26:53):
Very good.
Chris Baker (26:55):
All right.
So, as we wrap up, there'sactually one last question.
It actually went back to a wordthat you said earlier, which is
fantastic, because we do wantto talk about legacy, and so
what is the legacy that you hopeto leave behind for future
generations?
Claudia Mosley (27:12):
Definitely not only the fact that we impacted a
human being with education, butalso the fact that we were
responsible for them to havetheir own initiative to
replicate the same thing we did.
So, to me, what the result ofthis whole thing has given me
(27:35):
the most satisfaction is thatthey're doing the same thing, is
that it's not going to die whenI stop?
Is that they're doing the samething?
Is that it's not going to diewhen I stop?
It's going to?
We actually planted seeds inevery single one young adult
that we had helped that now theyare all thinking the way we're
thinking, and so to me, that's agreat legacy.
(27:55):
That it doesn't stop there whena human being got for bed,
retires or dies, that itcontinues, that we really
impacted the life of a humanbeing to realize, oh my god, I'm
successful because of the helpthat I got, so let me do it
again, let me help another humanbeing, let me, let me start
(28:16):
doing the same.
And to to us, and I said to us,is the the.
You know, our board members areso excited with that.
That we have seen how involvedthey're getting in their
communities, in the universities, the projects that they're
doing.
They were like, yes, this isyes.
We wanted to help them to beprofessional, because education
(28:39):
can definitely clean towns bygiving them better security,
prosperity but also understandthat you have to give, you have
to serve, in order to succeed.
So that definitely the legacyis knowing that it's not going
to stop when I stop, that it'sgoing to keep going.
Chris Baker (29:00):

I love that paying it forwardthrough social good.
I love it that is a beautifullegacy and I think you know I

Claudia Mosley (29:18):
I tell you something and I want to invite.
We're going to uh columbia thismemorial day weekend.
Um, I took my youngest daughterfor the first time last year
she is.
Uh, she was 15 years old and Ididn't want to take her until
she asked me to take her.
Oh, I never enforced it to anyof my kids.
(29:38):
Yeah they all are involved inthe community.
Um but uh.
When I took my daughter, she wasso impressed of the impact of
education on a young adult andshe was so impressed how she
gets everything given here andhow much they have to work to
get it and how much they notonly in their schools but they
(30:02):
have also a job, a part-time job, and and and then the the
efforts that they're doing withthe community, the university,
where you're like, oh my god,how they have so much time, the
impact that that made to a youngadult, that I will recommend
that if, if anybody wants tocome this Memorial Day weekend
(30:23):
and they want to bring theiryoung children, I'll say 13 and
up, because they're more awareit will definitely change their
perspective and it willdefinitely change their life.
So my daughter is now moreinvolved.
She opened the only socialmedia that she has really it's
(30:45):
LinkedIn and it was alldedicated to Global Dreams and
how it impacted her by going andnow she's involved and now she
wants to know that she's comingthis year again.
You know she helps us in theevents.
She's very and not only withour organization the events
she's very uh, and not only withour organization.
(31:07):
Like you know, now since shecame back, she took it up on
herself to get involved in herlocal, local projects in cooper
city okay so um she.
That really impressed me, andit also made me realize that as
a mother, I did something right,because kids also learn more by
example.
Chris Baker (31:25):
Oh, absolutely, by seeing.
Claudia Mosley (31:27):
You can tell a kid, whatever it is, you have to
be good and you have to.
But if they don't see a goodexample, then that's never going
to happen, Right?
Chris Baker (31:34):
right.
Claudia Mosley (31:34):
So I think that if anybody wants to come and
they want to bring their youngkids, please contact me.
Definitely it's a safe event.
We are all travel together in abus, so it's usually 25 people.
We go to beautiful restaurants,we go to beautiful sightseeing
and then the Sunday, which iswhen we go with the kids, we
(31:57):
usually do a trip.
Last year we went to the.
Laguna de Guatavita is thelagoon where the el dorado took
place.
I don't know if you saw that,the the uh, the story of how the
indians used to throw gold in alagoon okay, no, el dorado,
let's go.
Okay so, uh, disney has actuallya uh a movie about El Dorado,
(32:21):
and it is the story of Colombia.
Our Indians had a lot of goldin the way that they praised
their gods.
It was by all of the gold.
They would either bury it incertain places or throw it to
certain lagoons, and it's aplace where you felt the energy
(32:43):
in a way that you don't feel inany other places.
It was like Machu Picchu, forexample.
They said that the energy thatyou feel in that it's amazing.
Well, kind of like that, youfeel that type of energy.
Chris Baker (32:56):
Yeah, I know Momo has been there and he just raves

Claudia Mosley (00:43):
Thank you.
Thank you so much for theinvitation.
Chris Baker (00:46):
Oh yeah, you're totally welcome.
So I'd like you to talk alittle bit about your journey
and what inspired you to cofound Global Dreams USA.
Claudia Mosley (00:56):
Perfect.
So I've been into socialresponsibility since 2010.
We started helping differentprojects in Colombia, in South
America.
That's where I'm from.
More specifically, I started inBogota, which is where I was
born.
So the first project that wedid was with an organization
(01:18):
called Los Valientes de David,and it's in a rural area where
there's no water or electricity,in the skirts of the mountains
of Bogota and very, very poorarea.
We helped build a center.
We helped also get donationsfor instruments and art
(01:42):
materials.
We have volunteers that now goevery week On the weekend.
They teach English French.
It was really a beautifulproject and we did that for two
years.
Then we moved to another projectin Medellin.
Then we moved to anotherproject in Cartagena.
(02:03):
The one in Cartagena wasbeautiful because was a lot, uh,
concentrated to the humantraffickers, okay, and uh, it
was in an island called um.
Um, it's right, 15 minutes fromcartagena, but the only way
that you can get to to that isum with a boat, okay, um, and
(02:26):
the same thing.
They get water once a week.
Many of them don't haveelectricity.
It depends um.
So we build a center, thatschool, and that was through a
religion organization here, achurch, okay, um, and again.
We helped them for like threeyears and then I fell into
(02:47):
Global Dreams and most of thekids in the organizations that
we had helped were more foryounger kids.
Global Dreams' mission is tohelp young adults graduate from
university.
Help young adults graduate fromuniversity.
(03:11):
So we have right now 16 activestudents and they are all of
them have a scholarship 80 to100 percent and very different
universities in.
Bogota, medellin, choco,villavicencio.
So now we're not justconcentrated in just one area,
we have different parts of thecountry and these kids are
brilliant and if it wasn't forour help, they would have to
(03:35):
give up school so that they canwork to survive.
So, what we do is we help themwith room and boarding.
We have an apartment that wehold six students and then the
other 10, we pay them with roomand boarding.
We have an apartment that wehold six students and then the
other 10, we pay them to rent aroom and transportation.
And these kids are brilliant.
I mean, we have a scientistthat graduated, we have a chef,
(03:58):
we have a marketing director, wehave veterinarian.
We right now have an activemedical.
She's studying medicine in oneof the best universities of
Bogota, which is El Rosario 100%scholarship.
Wow, brilliant kid, sheactually got the scholarship.
She was the best, the mosthighest score of the like.
(04:27):
What here is?
The SAT over there is calledEFIX.
Chris Baker (04:29):
Um, she was the higher school in the country in
the country in the country soshe got full school.
Claudia Mosley (04:33):
I mean to be in the university.
A rosario you either have tohave a lot of money.
I have to be very brilliant,and that's what she is.
So we, we fought, we, we sawthat throughout all my journey,
education has always been themotive of helping um those type
(04:53):
of populations we always feltthat even in the projects that
we helped with the little kids,it was introducing art and music
and, you know, for them to seethe bigger picture of the world
and not the world that they livein.
So that was what's motivated mewas to take them out of their
(05:16):
current situation and, througheducation, show them that there
is opportunity, that there is abetter choice, that there is
another side of this spectrum.
So that's really what motivated.
Now, when we startedfundraising, our journey became
(05:37):
that we realized that in ourcommunity we were going to get a
lot more help from our peersand colleagues and other
networking groups If we alsoshare the fundraising with a
local organization, because,being an international
(05:57):
organization, not a lot ofpeople are motivated to keep
giving to an international, butwhen you and we have done it
with different organizationsRight now we're having an event
with MRT.
Mrt is a beautiful organizationfor veterans.
They treat their PST is thathow you call?
Chris Baker (06:19):
it yeah, ptsd, ptsd , yep.
Claudia Mosley (06:22):
And by diving, and they have shown that the
results are wonderful and youknow what more better than to
give to the people that haverisked their life for our
freedom, for our security?
So that organization is verydear to my heart.
(06:44):
Monica is a girl that I knowfor a long time and she's done
an amazing job with theorganization and I always said
to her I like to.
We did an event in the past andit was completely success,
because when two people from alocal and an organization like
(07:06):
mine get together, I feel thatwe can accomplish more and we
feel more satisfied that we alsodid something locally.
Chris Baker (07:16):
Right, that's actually one of the reasons why
we're starting this podcast upagain.
is because we're looking tomake sure that we talk about
ways that people can collaborate, non-profit to non-profit,
non-profit to business and allof these ways.
So I'm glad that you had theopportunity to connect with mrd
and monica um, we actually hadone of her board members on the
(07:38):
show oh nice, and so we actuallygot to talk about MRD a little
bit more that way too.
So I completely agree with youLike once you actually add two
nonprofits together, you aremultiplying the effect.
Claudia Mosley (07:58):
It's so much more supporting us.
Every time we give them like achoice for them to see what the
local organizations are doing,you'd be surprised how much many
of them get more motivated toget involved.
So we're not only doing it forthe fundraising, but also to
educate people on what otherorganizations are doing locally,
(08:21):
create awarenesses.
Um, I feel that every humanbeing needs to be socially
responsible.
I mean, that is a part of yourlife and a part of your mission
in this beautiful world.
Is, when you leave this world,what did you do?
What?
Chris Baker (08:41):
legacy did you?
Claudia Mosley (08:42):
leave behind.
You know, I I feel like everyhuman being has come to this
world to do something we allhave to take advantage of your
life to be happy, obviously, butby being happy.
to me, being happy also meansserving, giving others, and you
know it's amazing and I havealways tell people what makes
(09:05):
you a good human being is notreally being a good mother or a
good wife or a good friend and afamily member, because that's
already given to you.
You know, to me a good humanbeing is that person that does
something for another humanbeing that has nothing to do
with you blood related, that youdon't even know but it gives
(09:28):
you the satisfaction that youdid something and now they are
in another level, and theexperience that we have now
because we take a lot ofbusiness people with us every
year to Bogota, colombia.
so that they can meet the kids,we have a lot of fun.
It's an incredible trip, butthe most important day is the
(09:55):
day that we get together withthe kids and they speak and they
tell their stories, and that'swhen you realize that not only
do we give them the opportunityto succeed, but every single one
of those kids are involved in asocial responsibility within
the university or within theirlocal town, and that, to us, is
it's like we know we didsomething right.
Chris Baker (10:18):
Right you know.
Claudia Mosley (10:19):
We know that we taught him how to be socially
responsible and to give, and theimportance of giving, because
otherwise they would not be ableto succeed as they are now.
So that, to us, has been anamazing part of this whole
journey is the trips seeing howadvanced they've gotten, seeing
(10:40):
the ones that are graduating andhow good they're doing, and see
that all of them are involvedin social responsibilities in
their local it's so amazing tohear that you know you're
opening these opportunities forthese individuals that just they
would not have, and I mean thelist that you just went through
(11:01):
doctor, executive director,executive director, veterinarian
these are high.
Researches.
Chris Baker (11:06):
You know these are high positions, that scientists,
all of these are wonderful,like they're going to help
change the world.
Claudia Mosley (11:13):
Yes.
Chris Baker (11:14):
And without this you know, organization, they
couldn't have gotten that far.
So it's just beautiful to hearthat Global Dreams is making
global dreams happen.
Claudia Mosley (11:24):
And I tell you, you know, we right now for us to
support the 16 kids that wehave.
It's a little bit under $20,000a year.
But, it's $20,000 a year thatwe have to do events that we
have people that support us.
Every month my B&I group hasbeen amazing this year.
(11:44):
I was for almost $4,000 to meetmy goal and one of the lawyers
got up and said I'm willing tomatch up to $1,500 if you guys
jump in.
In one meeting I thirty fivehundred dollars so I only had in
(12:09):
the five hundred dollars.
Obviously we met and, yeah, it,that's much easier, and so the
the support that we get from thecommunity and we did an event.
Um, we usually do it eithermemorial day weekend or labor
day weekend.
So this year uh the past we dida Labor Day weekend.
Chris Baker (12:27):
Okay.
Claudia Mosley (12:28):
We had the major of the Sheriff's Department
Office, which is Renee Peterson,came.
Chris Baker (12:35):
She's come twice.
Oh, she has Awesome.
Claudia Mosley (12:38):
So she has now created a relationship with some
of the kids where she now wantsto see.
Uh, you know what they did lastyear and how everything evolved
, and you know um, we had martyelbert.
He's one of the, the members ofmy group.
Uh, we had from from the frommy bni, about five of them went
(12:59):
we had 23 people.
We had an amazing amazing tripand a lot of them when they hear
the kids speak, the youngadults speak, and how much they
are involved in their day-to-day, how are they in their careers.
A lot of them got recognized.
(13:20):
Even we have a designer, aclothes, uh, fashion designer.
Yeah well, he has won twice thebest in his university and his
model got shown in the.
They have like a um, a museumin downtown bogota.
Okay, which is la moda museum?
(13:41):
Well, he's, his sketch, or hismodel, was there in exhibition
for three months.
And now he's got it again onanother level.
So it's amazing to see thelevel of compromise that these
kids have, knowing that theyhave a group of people that they
(14:04):
see.
They care.
Chris Baker (14:06):
That's fantastic.
That is wonderful.
So, besides MRD, what othercollaboration and partnerships
have you can talk about thatyou've experienced?
Claudia Mosley (14:19):
So we've done.
We've done so manyorganizations.
I know we did Techo.
We did the Girls club, whichthey do almost the same thing
here in the United States theyhave a high school and then,
once they graduate, we alsohelped another organization
(14:41):
called Fitzy, which does exactlythe same thing we do for foster
care kids here.
We've done the Boys and GirlsClub.
We've done Flippany.
Flippany is an organizationthat helps with nutrition in
(15:08):
schools and how to get themaware to eat a much better meal
like vegetables.
They help them grow.
It's a really good meal likevegetables and they help them
grow and it's a really goodorganization too.
So there was this year.
The past.
We didn't have that many events.
As of right before the pandemicwe used to have an event every
month, and every month we'llchoose a different local
(15:29):
organization.
To work To share the events tofundraise, okay, good so for us,
it was simultaneously we werehelping local and we were
meeting the goals that we neededto to help the organizations in
colombia, that's fantastic,that's great.
Chris Baker (15:49):
Um, so sometimes this may be a challenging.
You know working and trying towork together with other
collaborations, and so they,kind of you, might be unique
challenges.
Can you explain any of the keylessons that you've learned by
working with all of thesedifferent organizations so that
other our viewers can actuallythink of different ways, that
(16:11):
they can think of how to workthrough some of the challenges
they might experience?
Well it depends.
Claudia Mosley (16:15):
We did have some challenges.
Some of the organizations, uh,took the opportunity of having
an event and, in another group,like, really all they had to do
was show up and we required thatat least they had 20 guests so
that we have enough people tofundraise more.
(16:38):
So we had some organizationsthat dropped the ball and they
just showed up and they didn'tdo any efforts on promoting the
event or being more proactive.
Where we have others that wedid amazing because they did the
promoting, the inviting, thecollaboration on sponsorship,
Like I said, the one that we didwith Monica and I think that
(17:00):
was in October of last year wasa complete success.
It was beautiful.
I mean, we had a full room, thecollaboration was great, the
energy in that night's event wasreally beautiful.
So that's the learningexperience.
Experience is that you know we.
You have to sit down with theorganization that you're
(17:21):
choosing and really explain whatis the goal of the event.
Right, not just you know we.
We're choosing you, we want tohelp you, but we need to make
sure that we both at the samelevel so that we can make sure
that the event is successful.
Chris Baker (17:38):
Correct, yeah, so one of the other things we have
as a collaboration effort is ournew program called Headshots
for a Cause, and I thought thatwas the most amazing thing that
you can come up with, because,no, for real, every uh
professional needs to update apicture.
Claudia Mosley (17:56):
I mean when I see sometimes the business card
with a picture of a guy thatlooks like 20 years ago it's
like, it's like, so you knowwhen like I, I never, was never
dated, and so in how do you callthat in those platforms?
But it's a lie.
It's like yo, this was you 20years ago.
You need to show yourself howyou look today and there's
(18:17):
nothing wrong.
Chris Baker (18:18):
I mean, obviously, the human being ages correct as
part of the you know world andthe day-to-day, but I do feel
that it's very important for youto get an actual profile
picture yearly, if you can yeah,I would recommend, even if you
can't do it, yearly every twoyears for sure yeah, it's so
important because, as we'rebusiness, you know networking
(18:42):
and everything and they're goingto go check out your profiles
on linkedin and maybe facebook,wherever you might be using
social media, if it doesn't looklike they met the same person
that we met exactly that's notthe same person and they may
just move on yeah because it'slike oh, that wasn't who I
actually, or no?
Claudia Mosley (18:59):
or sometimes you like.
Okay, why hasn't he changed thepicture?
Chris Baker (19:04):
or that too.
Is he stuck or is she?
Claudia Mosley (19:07):
stuck in how she looked 20 years ago.
I come on, you need to move on.
It's part of being aprofessional.
Move on, yes.
Chris Baker (19:17):
So at the end of 2024, we did some pilot testing
with a couple organizations tosee how this was going to work
and now we really saw thebenefit of what we could do to
help nonprofits through theheadshots for our cause.
And so now we choose threenonprofits every quarter and
(19:40):
those three nonprofits, you knowwe're going to create the
marketing material.
We do.
You know all.
We create an entire website.
They can go to headshots.
The number for a causecom, andyou can go and easily just
select.
I'm ready for my headshot PickGlobal Dreams USA Pay the $250.
Causecom, and you can go andeasily just select.
I'm ready for my headshot pickglobal dreams USA pay the two 50
.
And then all of the netproceeds go directly to the
(20:02):
nonprofit.
That's a beautiful thing.
Claudia Mosley (20:05):
And I tell you because I belong to two
different organizations it'seasier for me to say hey, you
know, you always said how can I,how can we contribute?
This is something that canimpact you professionally so you
can get a brand new shot.
But this wonderful company ishelping nonprofits by giving a
(20:26):
percentage of their proceeds tothe nonprofits.
If you want to help me, I feellike it's a a gain in both
parties.
Right, because you need a headshop and sometimes, uh, they are
extremely, um, expensive.
Sometimes people don't like theway they come out.
Sometimes the people don't likethe personalities, um, of the
(20:49):
people that is taking the photo,um, and you.
I do do have to say that youand Momo are the most giving,
loving.
Chris Baker (20:58):
Oh, thank you.
Claudia Mosley (20:59):
Which makes you feel more comfortable, right.
I don't feel nervous in frontof a camera when I'm with you
where sometimes I could feel alittle fear or nervous.
You definitely have a gift ofmaking people feel comfortable.
Chris Baker (21:18):
I appreciate that.
Yeah, that's actually.
It's one of my passions toreally kind of like calm a room.
I do use energy, work inwherever I'm at because I'm like
I want you to be your authenticself, I want you to be feeling
safe, and if you can't be safeand you can't be your authentic
self, you're not moving forward.
(21:38):
And that's where I feel likeone of my gifts is just helping
those people feel that way sothat they can make the change
that needs to happen in theworld.
So I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Looking forward, what are someof the strategic priorities for
global dreams and how is thatgoing to help future
(22:02):
collaborations to support theunderprivileged students in
latin america?
Claudia Mosley (22:07):
so what we did, knew was you know, we, we?
I got into my um, my networkinggroup.
I changed from my professionalto my non-profit um and we
wanted to see how that um, thateffort, will work for the
(22:27):
organization.
And we had amazing results, ohgood, so well that I don't think
I can go back to myprofessional in that group
anymore, because you knowstaying with the nonprofit has
been so rewarding and is what weneeded, like now, finally, we
(22:49):
see a growth.
So we just took three morestudents.
Chris Baker (22:52):
Really, yes, congratulations, see a growth.
So we just took three morestudents.
Uh, yes, so congratulations.
Claudia Mosley (22:56):
So we see that, um, when we have a collaboration
by uh, belonging to a group ofpeople and we have in our, in
our group, we have about 35people and and believe it or not
that most of them are involved.
Most of them are giving merecurring donations, most of
them show up to the events.
(23:17):
Most of them give me forsponsorship.
Like I said, at the end of theyear, I was missing my quarter
and they got up and say, hey,claudia needs to make her
quarter for the nonprofit sothat the kids can get an
education.
Come on, we can do this.
And it was fundraising a day, soit was amazing, amazing,
(23:39):
amazing.
Chris Baker (23:40):
Yeah, you have a good group of people.
I have actually visited yourgroup and I just was like wow,
these people are so connected,so well loved, so connected.
Claudia Mosley (23:49):
Yes, yes, I feel like the group of marketing and
events.
They really do a good job ongetting people together, so we
do get for lunch almost everyother week.
We all get a group of peopletogether.
Chris Baker (24:08):
Oh nice.
Claudia Mosley (24:08):
And it's not only the different power teams.
Tomorrow we have the realestate and the business power
team getting together.
Chris Baker (24:18):
Oh good.
Claudia Mosley (24:18):
And it's one of my clients' restaurants, so I
always look a way of helpingeveryone involved.
Chris Baker (24:26):
Right, yeah, exactly.
Claudia Mosley (24:28):
So we have a client that is called Mario
Cubano and he's opening up therestaurant and we're doing lunch
there and usually we have about20 people show up.
Oh, that's fantastic.
Chris Baker (24:40):
Yes, that's a good amount of people and I tell you
that's fantastic.
Claudia Mosley (24:43):
Yes, that's a good amount of people.
And I tell you, the meetingsare very structured.
It's so nice that it's sowell-instructed, but I feel like
the only way that you canreally get to know them as a
person is by the events outsidethose meetings that we do, and
we do a lot of events, like wehad the Christmas party and
(25:05):
everybody showed up at theChristmas party.
Like we had a full house.
Chris Baker (25:09):
That's fantastic.
Claudia Mosley (25:10):
Full house and you know the chapter tries to
make it so that the membersdon't pay for the party.
But that's a collaboration of alot of raffles that we do
throughout the year.
Right, lot of raffles that wedo throughout the years, a lot
of things that we do throughoutthe years and we always remind
the members remember the moreyou participate.
(25:30):
This is for the crisp the endof the year party, because we do
look forward to all of us gettogether and really celebrate.
So this year was great.
Chris Baker (25:40):
We had a great time it's those moments that you get
to connect, that really kind ofhelp bond you.
Because when you sit through anormal meeting, yeah, you get to
hear what people are lookingfor and everything else.
Claudia Mosley (25:52):
But it's those other meetings outside, when
you're having a drink with them,having a lunch with them,
having coffee yes, to get toreally know them and you know I
do a lot of events in my housewhere I welcome them to come
with their families, um, so I wehad one I think it was in
august, where they came withtheir kids and their spouses,
(26:15):
and that's really a way for agroup of people to engage,
because not only are youengaging on a one-to-one level,
but now you're seeing them as afather, as a husband, as their
kids are there.
It's a really great way ofgetting to really know the group
, and that's how a group gets alot more stronger is when they
(26:40):
get to know each other better.
Chris Baker (26:42):
And if any of you ever get the chance to go to one
of her parties, she makesamazing pizza in her brick oven
Like it's all outside Amazing.
Claudia Mosley (26:53):
Very good.
Chris Baker (26:55):
All right.
So, as we wrap up, there'sactually one last question.
It actually went back to a wordthat you said earlier, which is
fantastic, because we do wantto talk about legacy, and so
what is the legacy that you hopeto leave behind for future
generations?
Claudia Mosley (27:12):
Definitely not only the fact that we impacted a
human being with education, butalso the fact that we were
responsible for them to havetheir own initiative to
replicate the same thing we did.
So, to me, what the result ofthis whole thing has given me
(27:35):
the most satisfaction is thatthey're doing the same thing, is
that it's not going to die whenI stop?
Is that they're doing the samething?
Is that it's not going to diewhen I stop?
It's going to?
We actually planted seeds inevery single one young adult
that we had helped that now theyare all thinking the way we're
thinking, and so to me, that's agreat legacy.
(27:55):
That it doesn't stop there whena human being got for bed,
retires or dies, that itcontinues, that we really
impacted the life of a humanbeing to realize, oh my god, I'm
successful because of the helpthat I got, so let me do it
again, let me help another humanbeing, let me, let me start
(28:16):
doing the same.
And to to us, and I said to us,is the the.
You know, our board members areso excited with that.
That we have seen how involvedthey're getting in their
communities, in the universities, the projects that they're
doing.
They were like, yes, this isyes.
We wanted to help them to beprofessional, because education
(28:39):
can definitely clean towns bygiving them better security,
prosperity but also understandthat you have to give, you have
to serve, in order to succeed.
So that definitely the legacyis knowing that it's not going
to stop when I stop, that it'sgoing to keep going.
Chris Baker (29:00):
I love it.
I love that Paying it forwardthrough social good.
I love it.
I love that paying it forwardthrough social good.
I love it that is a beautifullegacy and I think you know I
hope other listeners and youknow the viewers are looking to
other ways that they can helpfind ways to collaborate and
continue.
Claudia Mosley (29:18):
I tell you something and I want to invite.
We're going to uh columbia thismemorial day weekend.
Um, I took my youngest daughterfor the first time last year
she is.
Uh, she was 15 years old and Ididn't want to take her until
she asked me to take her.
Oh, I never enforced it to anyof my kids.
(29:38):
Yeah they all are involved inthe community.
Um but uh.
When I took my daughter, she wasso impressed of the impact of
education on a young adult andshe was so impressed how she
gets everything given here andhow much they have to work to
get it and how much they notonly in their schools but they
(30:02):
have also a job, a part-time job, and and and then the the
efforts that they're doing withthe community, the university,
where you're like, oh my god,how they have so much time, the
impact that that made to a youngadult, that I will recommend
that if, if anybody wants tocome this Memorial Day weekend
(30:23):
and they want to bring theiryoung children, I'll say 13 and
up, because they're more awareit will definitely change their
perspective and it willdefinitely change their life.
So my daughter is now moreinvolved.

(31:07):
Like you know, now since shecame back, she took it up on
herself to get involved in herlocal, local projects in cooper
city okay so um she.
That really impressed me, andit also made me realize that as
a mother, I did something right,because kids also learn more by
example.
Chris Baker (31:25):
Oh, absolutely, by seeing.
Claudia Mosley (31:27):
You can tell a kid, whatever it is, you have to
be good and you have to.

and it is the story of Colombia.
Our Indians had a lot of goldin the way that they praised
their gods.
It was by all of the gold.
They would either bury it incertain places or throw it to
certain lagoons, and it's aplace where you felt the energy
(32:43):
