I had the honor of meeting @nayibbukele for the second time. He has truly overdelivered on his promise, transforming El Salvador into the safest country in Latin America. Now, El Salvador is paving its way to becoming the most sought-after destination for entrepreneurship—the Silicon Valley of Latin America. I’m excited for what’s ahead…

And just like that the year is gone! Doesn’t feel like a holiday season.

We did it, from idea to creation and execution. One year in the making, but the biggest challenge starts now. CoreNest El Salvador 🇸🇻 is going to impact generations of founders and their families, create thousands of jobs, and provide funding for entrepreneurs who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to follow their dreams. In small countries like El Salvador and across Central America, access to risk capital simply doesn’t exist the way it does in the U.S., Canada, or Europe. With the support of President Bukele @nayibbukele , the Ministry of Economy @EconomiaSV, and the Invest in El Salvador team, this vision is now a reality because @CoreNestVC was willing to pioneer, take on the challenge, and accept the risk. A $25 million fund with a new accelerator launch pad with government incentives like no other in the world, to invest in 300 startups and then follow-up $100 Million to invest in over 1000 more startups. I’m honored and proud to join this journey with the CoreNest El Salvador VC Fund and Accelerator as their Venture Partner to support all marketing efforts. Bob Ras @bobrasX and Reza Bashash @rezabashash are true visionaries who turn words into action, but it takes a team to make this happen. Pedro Crespo @PedroICrespo (Venture Partner) and our Accelerator CEO, Jose Roberto Rodriguez Duque @JoseRobDuque8 , are both executing tirelessly to turn this into reality in El Salvador 🇸🇻. Now, if you know any founders in Latin America who need funding and a launch 🚀 platform where they’ll have incredible incentives and mentorship from a rockstar team let them know about the CoreNest project in El Salvador.

Excited to begin a new journey with @bobrasX I’m officially in 🙌🏼

El Salvador is doing all the right things to become a hub for entrepreneurs and innovation. President @nayibbukele is making sure of it. elsalvadorinenglish.com/2025…

Successful trip to El Salvador 🇸🇻 @nayibbukele completed. I’m confident El Salvador will become the Silicon Valley of Latin America with the vision and support of @bobrasX and @rezabashash. Excited for what the next ten years will bring! Thank you President Bukele for the amazing Hospitality.

If you’re waking up every day and doing what you love, you’ve already succeeded.

My wife hates planes ✈️ and turbulence so she downloaded an app that predicts when we will experience turbulence on our 14 hour flight. 😂

I tried the Michelin Star ⭐️ Barbacoa taco cooked inside a pig bladder at Animalon in Mexico. It was delicious

Most people don’t have the patience to dedicate 3 years to building their own business, but they have the patience to work for 40 years for someone else.

I've been to 50 countries now, but it was my trip in 2017 to the Maldives that made me feel we were making a big impact in the travel industry. I remember meeting with the PR team at @ConradHotels Maldives. They said they wanted to become the top-followed Maldives hotel brand. So, we started posting content on @earthpix right away. By the time I left, their follower count had jumped from 32k to 120k. After returning, we ran a giveaway, pushing them over 200k followers and hotel bookings were at an all time high. That's why they contracted us in 2018 to announce the grand opening of their underwater villa, The Muraka. They even gave us a year's exclusivity, not letting any other travel bloggers or influencers stay and experience The Muraka that year. Our Muraka campaign got over 500 million views across all social platforms that year and some of our videos were featured on tv news channels. I have many stories like this. I don't always share them, but I'm really proud of what we've achieved at @earthpix, and of everyone who's been a part of our journey. We're just getting started.

What are three countries on your travel list that you absolutely recommend everyone should visit before they die?

The message from @IAmSteveHarvey I added to my video has so much truth behind it. However, some people will think it’s positive and others negative. Listen closely…

Merry Christmas 🎄 Food for thought - Christmas is about spending time with friends and family. People we love and appreciate. Don't worry about what gifts you bought someone, worry about how much time you've spent with them because tomorrow isn't promised.
