Life Is Short, Look Beyond The Money with Charlotte Castillo

Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Charlotte Castillo, Managing Director for Poderistas®. She is open, raw, and real as she shares how she has taken the life lessons that came her way and built a global career and dynamic personal life.

In today’s episode, we discuss:

Being the Chief Translator for her family at age 7 taught her she had a deep reservoir of courage, the ability to figure things out even though they were beyond her years and that fear wasn’t an option. 

When it comes to new opportunities Charlotte tells us to; be open, trust the forks in the road, and review them through the lens of  “Why not” 

Don’t lose yourself in society's or anyone else’s definition of success, create priorities that maintain balance & focus, and align with who you are & what you want to achieve.

Life is short. Look beyond the money, assess what you really want, what brings you joy, and build your life and career from that place.
