Level Up Moment
His first two Pro Tours really taught Eduardo that there IS "another level", and he dedicated himself to reach it.
How to Choose a Standard Deck
Look at the top 32 decks of recent events.
Biggest Mistake Players Make
People are stuck up in their own ideas. If you are not open to new ideas then it stops your improvement. If 20 people are giving you similar feedback, you should probably listen.
Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself
Eduardo wants to be social. Magic lets you make long lasting friendships.

Improvement Suggestions
FNM is a perfect experimental format. Try stuff out and have fun.
Look at the top 32 decks of a tournament. Those decks were 1 win away from the top 8. This will give you a better idea of which decks are doing well than just looking at the Top 8 list.
Watch high-level Magic match ups. This will help you internalize the lines of play so they aren't new when they happen to you.
