Pura Vida from Costa Rica!
I took a life's gamble to pay it forward to the next generation. Got past a lot of family guilt and society pressure to live a true spiritual life. Moving abroad at 27 from Philadelphia and starting a company from scratch in Costa Rica. A vision quest journey that came true.
Allow me to share advanced telemarketing strategy, conflict management, interpersonal soft skills, customer support, rhetoric, gamification, pinball machines, employee motivation, phonetic micro expression reading, the pros and cons of A.I and finally, The Famous Buffer-Boomerang Technique to close sales.
Following a childhood dream, I own the largest collection of restored American Pinball machines and antique Jukeboxes in Costa Rica.
