"Everyone’s dream is having the “American Dream” right? Own property, own big cars, have a big family. But for me, that dream is fading away a bit. Hopefully, I’ll get part of that dream… having a good, relaxing life."

This TOTM Face to Face conversation is between Wenceslao and Eloy Castro. Wenceslao is the Ever Forward Club’s Youth Host. You can get to know more about him in episode 123. Eloy is a personal stylist and interior designer, who also supports the Ever Forward Club’s training programs. ➡️➡️➡️ Because they are both involved in the Ever Forward Club, Eloy and Wenceslao have developed a level of trust and friendship. As someone older than Wenceslao, Eloy has also become a mentor. As you listen, consider this - have you ever had a conversation like this with someone younger/older than you? Who was that person? And how much did you appreciate them?
