Philosophy

  • “That's life: you get hit, you fall, you get up, you get sad, you move forward, you trip again, you almost fall but you don't, you keep walking, you run.”
  • “The Yucatech Festival is not a business, not even remotely - it has cost me money. I don't know if I'll ever capitalize on it, and I don't care.”

Formative years

  • “I never graduated from ITAM. I got bored, I was already doing very well in my job. I should have studied Physics from the start, but that's life.”

Business

  • “I've worked for someone else a handful of times in my life — it's clear I don't like having a boss. Now I have clients. I traded one boss for many. Fuck.”
  • “The hardest part of selling cloud services in 2014 wasn't convincing people it was secure - it was giving away the margin to Amazon when I could've kept it for myself.”
  • “I recommended someone who's technically good but a total idiot for everything else for a management position. I should've taken it myself. EpicFail.”
  • “The most common mistake of tech leaders in Latin America: they copy US models without adapting them to the regional context.”
  • “Esto es un negocio: lo que importa no son los premios, son las utilidades, generar buenos trabajos bien pagados, y contribuir con la sociedad y la comunidad.”

Quick ones

  • “Why Méridacapital y ciudad más poblada del estado de Yucatán, México? If you find out, let me know.”
  • “I drink between 4 and 10 cups of coffee a day. How about you? Is that bad? That's just me.”
  • “Since everything is orange, I now have a lot of orange shirts and sneakers. I don't pay attention to fashion — I dress to avoid going naked.”
  • “I invest in soccer academies in the United States. I don't like soccer at all.”
  • “I'm not good at giving advice — it turns into a class that doesn't lead anywhere. Don't ask me for advice.”
  • “If I could erase the Star Wars sequels (episodes 7, 8, and 9) and have more Ahsoka content instead, it would be better.”
  • “I can go months without looking in the mirror. With video calls, I've been seeing myself more often lately.”
  • “I blew my first money, I wasted it, I traveled. I have no idea where it is. Oops.”
  • “Being included in "World's Top 50 Leaders to follow" makes no difference to me. I couldn't care less — it's not like I'm getting paid or anything, haha.”
  • “I distrust people who don't drink coffee, don't you?”
  • “The most "Kilowatto" thing I did this year? I don't know, I'll tell you when I'm dead.”
