Ep. 002: ALBERTO ZENI - YOU CREATE THE REALITY YOU WANT TO LIVE
LISTEN NOW
“I lost my purpose… I started to regain my old self… to innovate, to tell stories…”
In this episode I’m lucky to talk with someone I get to call a friend, Alberto Zeni. Alberto is an electronics engineer and an entrepreneur. He’s also a successful actor; you may have seen him in the Netflix show Narcos: Mexico or one of many other projects.
Alberto is a very insightful person and we cover a lot of ground in this conversation. We talk about living in Durango, Mexico. The life of an actor and entrepreneur. How we literally can create the reality we live in and how being a server helped him in so many ways. At the end of the conversation, he gives his two main tips for actors, but probably good advice for everyone.
