Felipe Del Pozo The Man Who Has Seen It All, Did It All & Gave It All

Once upon a time I was an up and coming blogger trying to carve his way in the business and I met a man name Felipe Del Pozo. Little did I know, this would led to me discovering an hidden gift that I didn’t know I had until that encounter

At the time, I was 3 years in this passion project and even though I had some kind of success, I was on the verge of giving up.

I felt invisible and not appreciated for what I thought I was bringing to the table.

They say it’s always at those tipping points that an entrepreneur reach his final destination.

They also say it appears in different forms: a huge opportunity, a recognition or maybe some kind of a sign from the Almighty (which I was looking for at that point).

Blame it on technology or being a kid raised on the internet, fast forward today, I feel like this sign came to me in the form of a simple email.

Indeed, here was this man, Felipe Del Pozo, doing what he’s been doing for what seem like two lifetimes; empowering people & making a change.

You think you can’t read people’s emotions through a text or an email but believe me when I say this.

When he emailed me the very first time to invite me to a major event with key players in my field; I knew deep in my heart that my life was about to change.

I didn’t know how and when but I knew something was coming (I had ”Feel It The Air” playing in my car the day we met so I guess so)

Why me? Why my platform?  All those doubts burning in my soul.

He managed to push them all away with a genuine handshake and a smile.

A handshake and a smile can take you far in life if you let them; I now know this by experience.

With his guidance and confidence; I’ve found myself working with incredible people and even more incredible projects.

Through it all, this Yoda-Like figure made me push myself and tap into my inner creativity like I never thought I could.

I’d like to think that I paint pictures with words.

In painting to you who Felipe is, it’s hard because it seems to me like he’s still a piece in progress much like I am.

He still jump into new challenges. still build bridges and most of all he still reinvent himself.

I pay attention to what people say but most of all I measure a man from his actions.

Felipe to me personifies a successful man, si! Perhaps beyond the criteria that you and I have.

Successful at his career, si señor! A great Pr, es la verdad! Working on HUGE projects, mucho!

Above all that and my broken Spanish, Felipe is successful at LIFE.

They can teach you how to do a job.

They can teach you how to build relationships;

Perhaps, how to be happy & passionate is an art that only a handful of people master (I.e for 50 years straight).

”El hermano” is now turning 50 today and I still wait for him to drop this book titled ”50 Is The New 20”.

To be honest, I sometimes myself find it hard to keep up with the guy.

The same hunger, same energy, focus and creativity.

All he needs is a sip of Guru, a fruit and he’s back at it.

Even though I felt very privileged to have him as a mentor, I’ve realized one crucial thing about his character.

Although his career sends him in the limelight with notable celebrities, corporations and this even beyond Canada.

Felipe is motivated by something deeper than accolades. He’s driven by giving it all back.

Whether its throughout his commitment to bring light to upcoming creators and bloggers.

Through charity, advice or simply giving his time to causes that touches him.

Here’s a man who has climb the mountain but made sure to carry as much people with him.

Even at a time where it should be all about celebrating and reaping the benefits; he STILL find a place where giving back is the focal point.
