We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Armando a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Armando, you’ve got such an interesting story, but before we jump into that, let’s first talk about a topic near and dear to us – generosity. We think success, happiness and wellbeing depends on authentic generosity and empathy and so we’d love to hear about how you become such a generous person – where do you think your generosity comes from?
Generosity isn’t just a word to me; it’s a core value I inherited directly from my dad.
He had this incredible way of helping anyone, friend or stranger, and I saw its power firsthand.
I was 13, leaving baseball practice, when my dad pulled over to help a family with a broken-down car.
The problem was bigger than a quick fix, so he went to call a tow truck. But what truly stuck with me was what he did next ;he bought hamburgers for the whole family.
They sat there, eating, waiting for help, all because of his spontaneous kindness.
It’s a legacy that continues to inspire my vision.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
