I believe that inside of every single person, especially. Especially when they're in their darkest times, there's a little voice in their head that says, I want to be more, I want to do more, I want to say more, and I want to live more. - Norberto Orellana

 

In this episode of Winds of Change, I sit down with Norberto Orellana, a motivating individual who has challenged himself to become an entrepreneur. Norberto's journey from homelessness and abuse to founding his own company in Gillette, Wyoming. We love hearing the diversity of stories and voices in this series of Entrepreneurs, innovators and creatives of Wyoming!

 

Norberto shares his transition from pursuing a Ph.D. in chemistry to becoming a business leader and motivational speaker. 

We discuss:

  • His early experiences with homelessness and poverty

  • The pivotal moment on a bus that changed his perspective

  • How he became a three-time TEDx speaker

 

Overcoming Adversity: Despite facing numerous challenges, including cerebral palsy and a difficult upbringing, Norberto discusses:

  • The importance of positive audacity and lifelong learning

  • How he balances his healthcare leadership role with entrepreneurship
