The Secret Behind Ambition: Hard Work & Restrategizing

Ambition is a great quality to have, especially when it comes to business. But can simply wanting something be enough to achieve success?

Today’s episode is about The Secret Behind Ambition: Hard Work and Restrategizing, as we get to know the story of professional baker, entrepreneur, and winner of Netflix's "Baking Impossible", Rodolfo Gonçalves.

A Brazilian immigrant who worked as a programmer until the age of 24, Rodolfo won the green card lottery in 2004 and moved to New York City, with the hopes of living the American Dream. Since he barely spoke English at the time, it was very hard getting a job as a programmer, so he had to work cleaning dishes instead. This was a really difficult downfall for Rodolfo, but he never stopped pushing himself and striving for more.

Since he's moved to the US, Rodolfo has fallen in love with baking and the creative freedom it brings you. Within the last 20 years he’s not only built his own cake business, but has won multiple awards, been in 5 reality TV baking shows, and won Netflix’s "Baking Impossible" where 1 baker and 1 engineer make cakes which defy the laws of physics.

Even though Rodolfo has had several professional accomplishments since moving to the US, he's had to constantly pivot and restrategize as his career went into unforeseen directions. That's where the secret to success really is.
