Dealmaker Diaries Podcast Donald Thomas

Led by his passion and curiosity for the business world, entrepreneurship came naturally to him. Jose’s entrepreneurial pursuits have spanned numerous industries, with one thing remaining constant: his persistence and level of involvement. With all his pursuits, Jose takes a hands-on approach, getting involved in the day-to-day of all departments at what many may consider an unusual level. This involvement ranged from hiring and training hundreds of people, to personally negotiating a few thousand real estate transactions, both buying and selling.

Jose has achieved multimillionaire status four distinct times, in four separate industries: an import/export company for machinery for the Petrochemical

industry, investments including a chain of Italian coffee bars, a residential construction company, and lastly, land development & construction. Each of these successes was a feat of starting from ground zero and meticulously building his wealth anew. His journey has involved constructing complex business infrastructures, only to lose them to factors beyond his control, such as economic downturns, currency fluctuations, and world financial crises. In between his four multimillion dollar endeavors, there have been countless other businesses, too.

Despite facing monumental setbacks, Jose has consistently risen from the ashes of lost enterprises, reinventing himself, venturing into new industries with renewed vigor and determination, and found even greater success in each new endeavor.
