Last week I joined a n8n hackathon as a mentor in Valencia! 🤩 Thank you so much to Martin Jokub and Roman Rodomansky for the opportunity and for the amazing job done, Richard Rietdijk for supporting the event as a mentor too and València Innovation Capital for hosting us! It was my first time as a mentor and I LOVED IT! - 160+ people signed up - 80 showed up - 16 teams working on 10 challenges I feel so grateful! MUCHAS GRACIAS to everyone who joined! 🙌 Still, I'd never say it differently, but the best part of these events are the connections and ideas or experiences shared. If you missed this one, there will be another one next 19th of October! Hope to see you there! 🚀 Ps. 👉 check the registration link in the first comment!

I believe in networking as a religion I always did I’m fascinated by the beauty of learning by simply chatting with someone you’ve just met or got in touch with That applies to every topic and context Like I met people playing basketball, others travelling or working When LinkedIn came out, I was like, this is so cool The idea behind was simple to me: I can now text people who have more experience than me and ask any questions or even try to jump on a call with them to get to know them I remember how colleagues from uni and work laughed about me because I was sending connections requests and reaching to people I wanted to talk They would tell me no one would have replied to me because I was a stranger At that time I was doing my bachelor Over these years, I built connections that led me to job opportunities, friendships and podcasts interviews Today, I can tell you that this network has been the main revenue channel for my business I can’t put in words how priceless is having a big and valuable network when you start a business from zero People buy from people So building connections is the most underrated asset in someone’s private and professional life Funny is that building your network is easy You just need to: - be yourself - be curious Remember that you’re have nothing more than a chat with another person you’ve just met or got in touch with. {Build in public: post #2} Ps. I’d love to have a chat with you! Let me know if you do too! 🙌

FAMILY is the reason why I started my business. Not for money. I mean, building financial freedom is a goal. But it has never been the 1# driver to me. I love my family and I miss them a lot. I talk to them every day and I feel so blessed to have this relationship with them. After certain things I have experienced and seen, especially the last two events occurred in my family like 4 years ago I decided that there is no job/boss/manager in the world that has to give me the “permission” to go and see my family whenever I want. Look, before, I went after specific companies that offered remote work because they exist And I know I wanted that environment So I got the chance to work with two amazing companies and managers that gave me that freedom But living with the idea that not all the companies offer this opportunity Or that eventually it’s something seen as “favor” I could not simply handle it That’s the reason why I started this path This is the deepest driver I have and will always have

I also see how harder and more expensive is for my Argentinian friends to go back home Like, I live in Spain, my family is in Italy, it’s still Europe Anyway, even when I will hopefully have the honor to be a father myself I want to be there as much as I can, also for the “small-big” things My parents had jobs that allowed them to be there at my basketball games Now I am at the airport in Palermo Going back to Valencia I spent 3,5 weeks in Sicily with my family My girlfriend was there as well for my dad and sister’s bdays
 This is so priceless to me This makes me feel so rich. {Build in public: post #3} Ps. This post was supposed to be written last weekend but forgive me, I was hugging and smiling with my family at the beach, enjoying every single moment.
