The story you’re going to hear today is a powerful one.I met Alejandro Estrada (Designer at Empire Office) at what I would rank as one of the top local design events that I’ve witnessed – The New Year New You event in Miami, Florida, where I hosted a panel. When we met at this event, what stood out about Alejandro was his aura… He had a magnetic, creative, and positive energy that you could just feel. Over coffee, I learned more about Alejandro’s story and the more he spoke, the more I was determined to share this story with you.  In today's episode, you'll hear the challenges Alejandro overcame, which include escaping violence in his native Colombia, as well as his journey to coming out at 16-years-old and how these events shaped who he is today. Alejandro's journey through life is a story of courage and a story of what it is to be human.  Reach out!
