[EP37] How To Expand Consciousness Around The World | Mario Torres

In this episode I’m joined by Mario Torres. Mario is the Founder of Infohana, a translation agency capable of localizing content, marketing assets and graphics to the Spanish, French, Portuguese, German and Italian markets.

Mario and I connected via a mutual friend in a Mastermind and immediately connected on a number of levels. We are both fathers to 2 young boys. We are both entrepreneurs. We are both driven to create impact in this world!

We dove into a number of topics including how he is creating an exponential impact in the world by introducing transformative products and services to markets outside of the English speaking world.
