When was the last time you met someone and knew what they stood for?
Today I want to introduce you to Armando, Armando is the kind of human that can bring life to a room, the kind of friend that will show up, and one that has learned one of the most valuable lessons there is in life; to know when to let others be there for him
I had the pleasure of meeting Armando recently, with stories of his life that feel larger than life, words that match his actions, and a heart that sees others, Armando is one I’m truly honored to get to share with you all
We chat about life growing up in the Bronx, the importance of knowing who your people are and that they know you are there for them, and the reality that not everyone where he grew up made it
He shares how his work, his work family, and the way getting to do what he loves has changed so much of where he thought his life could go, how having a boss that he can ask for a hug or talk to when times are hard makes him stronger, and how the man he has become is able to show up for those that he gets to train up
He speaks from a place of kindness and humanity as he shares something he wishes women knew, and something he wish men were taught. He shares how you can bump heads with someone and still show up for them and care for them, and a desire for everyone to remember not to lose faith
Armando is someone truly special, the kind of human that reminds us just how precious life itself is, how much we get to choose what we do with it and who we become, and how important it is who we surround ourselves with
So tune in today and meet Armando, a human that wants you to know to be yourself and smile, cause life is something you get to live
And to you Armando thank you, thank you for sharing this time with me, for you open heart, your wisdom, the love in which you share in your story, and the reminder to not lose faith. You are a beautiful soul and I am better for getting to share this time with you
