From a young age, I began to question the belief systems I was raised with. Today, I respectfully define myself as a "Renegade Catholic." My resistance is not towards spirituality, but towards those stories that seem more like myths and legends than universal truths, and that often obscure the true essence of the transcendent.

A leader's deepest fear is not failure, but the irrelevance of their own truth. We live in a culture of "constant brilliance" where Julian, a high-performing executive, is rewarded for his ability to suppress any trace of doubt, sadness, or vulnerability. We've been convinced that being successful means being a flawless glass surface: transparent, efficient, and cold. But in this race for perfection, we've built a prison of limiting thoughts.

In the business world, we've been taught that success is a matter of accumulation: more data, more degrees, more assets. But I've spent my life watching how that accumulation becomes a silent poison. I've seen companies die of thirst in the face of excessive knowledge and executives paralyzed by fear despite their brilliance. After decades navigating the corridors of giants like Shell and institutions like Ibero, I understood that the tragedy isn't ignorance, it's paralysis.
