Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Chau Saenz. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Chau, so excited to talk about all sorts of important topics with you today. The first one we want to jump into is about being the only one in the room – for some that’s being the only person of color or the only non-native English speaker or the only non-MBA, etc Can you talk to us about how you have managed to be successful even when you were the only one in the room that looked like you?
Embrace being unique and different; it’s what defines you. Seeing this distinctiveness as an advantage allows you to stand out and is crucial for effectiveness and success. Once you accept this positively and carry yourself with confidence, the energy you emit and attract in return will foster acceptance and warmth. This approach not only enhances your personal interactions but also opens doors to opportunities by setting you apart in a positive light. While immediate reactions may vary, over time, you’ll find that positive recognition follows. The key is to be fully at peace with your uniqueness, as it is a significant asset in your journey to achieving success.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Don’t let unfamiliarity with a product deter you from pursuing your passion. To navigate this, you’ll need to master three key skills:
Learn the Craft: Dive into your chosen industry by any means necessary, whether you’re new to the field or not. Use digital resources, network, and take classes to expand your knowledge.
Embrace Tenacity: Have the guts to hustle and put yourself out there. It takes courage and relentless effort to make your mark.
Find Joy in the Journey: Ensure that you truly love what you’re doing. This passion will be your main source of energy during challenging times.
Moreover, it’s crucial to have a robust support system of fellow entrepreneurs. They’ll be there to help you celebrate even the smallest victories, offer a shoulder to lean on when you need to vent, and understand your journey better than anyone else, including your partner or best friend. While the entrepreneurial path is tough, and starting it as a side hustle can be wise if you’re not financially dependent on it, commit fully and pour your heart into your venture.
Awesome, really appreciate you opening up with us today and before we close maybe you can share a book recommendation with us. Has there been a book that’s been impactful in your growth and development?
“The Alchemist” is a tale about chasing dreams to discover life’s purpose, and it profoundly impacted me when I encountered it during a period of doubt about following my own dreams. Its message resonated deeply, reinforcing my belief that pursuing a dream with purpose can indeed create significant change. The story serves as a powerful reminder to listen to your heart, trust in the universe, and follow your intuition—principles that apply universally across all endeavors.
