Success requires persistence, consistency, and hope despite obstacles associated with being from an immigrant family. Today's guest, Nel Peralta side hustles as a Business Mindset Coach, Graduate Student in Philosophy, and is a 3X Cancer Survivor. As the only child of immigrants from Oaxaca, Mexico, he’s been driven to succeed and prove that his parents sacrifice has been worth it.

  • Tenacity, consistency and hope despite obstacles keeps first generation and immigrants going forward
  • Pressure to be educated to make money and be “successful”
  • We are all inherently worthy but most feel like they haven’t accomplished enough
  • Are you worthy if you haven’t achieved your ultimate goals
  • Where does fulfillment come in
  • Understanding the awareness
  • Actions we take will reflect what we think we lack
  • Force yourself to self-reflect because life is finite
  • How do you fill up the box of self-worth
  • Ikigai concept of a “reason for being” as a guide for finding purpose
  • Side-hustles can be of necessity and there may not joy or fulfillment in the process
  • Generational mind-shift due to social media and exposure
