What does it really take to build businesses across five countries, adapt through massive industry shifts, and still have the mental and physical resilience to run 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 consecutive days? In this episode of Seven Figure Founders, we sit down with Raúl Riveros, entrepreneur, engineer, EO Vietnam member, and one of fewer than 500 people worldwide to complete one of the most extreme endurance challenges on Earth. Raúl shares: - How he went from engineering to entrepreneurship out of necessity - What it takes to build and adapt global manufacturing businesses across China, Vietnam, Europe, and the Americas - Why industries disappearing didn’t break his business, they strengthened it - How endurance sports reshaped his leadership, mindset, and decision-making - Powerful lessons on consistency, identity, resilience, and playing the long game - Why focusing on the journey, not the goal, changes everything in business and life From boardrooms to Antarctica, this conversation is a masterclass in mental toughness, adaptability, and sustainable success. 🎧 If you’re an entrepreneur navigating growth, uncertainty, or personal reinvention, this episode will challenge how you think about success.
