    Send a text Misael comparte su historia desde La Romana y Santo Domingo (República Dominicana): crecer entre hambre, escasez y presión familiar, y cómo esas experiencias moldearon su mentalidad. Hablamos de romper ciclos, reprogramación mental, sanar heridas del pasado y construir una nueva historia sin quedarse atrapado en lo que ya fue. También exploramos su camino profesional: aprender inglés desde cero, graduarse en Estados Unidos, decirle NO al dinero fácil por principios, y su evolución en liderazgo trabajando de cerca con la metodología de John Maxwell. Una conversación honesta para quienes buscan disciplina, claridad, valores firmes y un liderazgo auténtico que se vive, no solo se habla. Confianza: 0.90 Caveat clave: No incluyo enlaces ni datos verificables adicionales (fechas, organizaciones, credenciales específicas) porque no los compartiste; si los agregas, la descripción puede quedar aún más sólida y “oficial”. 🎙️ Invitado: Misael Díaz  📘 Autor: Creando una Nueva Historia 🏢 Mentor de líderes y emprendedores 🤝 Patrocinios / Colaboraciones: 📩 info@thegloballatinfactor.com Support the show Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGlobalLatinFactorPodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegloballatin1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegloballatinfactorpodcast Tiktok: ...
