Santiago Jaramillo knows all about dramatic change, when he was just 10 years old he immigrated to the U.S. and had to figure out how to thrive in a new country that came with its own set of rules.

And thrive he did, to the point where he’s since earned himself titles like CEO and author. As a serial entrepreneur, he took his past experiences and used them to help others navigate change and now he’s in a transition period himself. He’s just sold Emplify, a company he founded, and he’s having to decide what comes next.

 “It's a little disorienting, but it's also wonderfully fraught with possibility and it's both deeply exciting and also terrifying.” What Santi is describing will sound familiar to many of us.

So how does he navigate murky waters and help others to do the same? By making Zero Excuses and embracing change.
