#004 - Andres Valencia: "Why I quit everything to become a competitive-athlete at 27" - From working at Uber and Didi to pursuing life as a pro athlete...
***
On today's show I sit down with Andres Valencia. Usually I talk to athletes about how they have found success outside of sport. But today I’m flipping that on its head, where I speak to Andres who has decided to do the reverse. Andres was building a successful career in technology in his home of Mexico City, at companies like Uber and Didi. But at 27, he decided to quit his job and pursue a career as a professional mogul skier. This is a wild story! You can find Andres on Instagram at @andresvalenciat where you can see his journey. I’ve linked these in the description below. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, let’s do it.
