    “They’d fall apart without me” — The lie we tell ourselves

    You’re working hard, doing all the “right” things… but something still feels off. Your boss’s decisions don’t make sense. You’re exhausted but it’s still not enough. And now you’re supposed to understand workplace “politics” too? Ugh. Amigui, it’s time we talk business acumen — the hidden skill that separates surviving at work from thriving in it. In this episode, Zulean breaks down what no one teaches you in your first job: how money really moves, why management thinks the way they do, and how to stop confusing busy work with impact. If you’ve ever thought, “They’d fall apart without me,” this one’s for you. Learn how to think bigger, lead smarter, and finally see the system you’re in — so you can own your space in it.

    Stop Pushing, Start Choosing: Resiliency with My Digital Nomad Tío Elmer Díaz

    “Dale, keep going, you got this!”  We’ve all heard it. And at times, we need it, but at times… my Tío Elmer says, this might actually be holding us back. In this episode, I sit down with Elmer Díaz—an engineer turned digital nomad from Puerto Rico who literally works from anywhere on Earth—to talk about the real meaning of resiliency. Not the boomer version (even though he is one). Not the “grind until you break” version. The modern version; our new version. We get into:  ✔️Why sometimes the most resilient thing you can do is PIVOT, not persevere.  ✔️The difference between pushing through vs. pausing to ask, “Is this still meant for me?” This episode is your permission-slip to stop forcing things and start choosing yourself: Stop, reflect, and ask, “What’s next? Is it to keep pushing or is it time to pivot?”  🎧 Hit play and let’s understand what resiliency actually looks like.  Links as promised: ✨Learn from Tio Elmer 👉 Follow him on Medium and Quora  ✨Want the digital nomad “bible”? 👉 Here’s the book  ✨Make your life easier 👉 Join the FromScratch group   ✨Follow Zulean on IG 👉 @ZConecta  ✨Follow Zulean on LinkedIn 👉 @Zuleancruz-diaz  ✨Share your thoughts 👉 Message Zulean: HeyZ@zconecta.com
