Hello, I’m Guillermo.
Finding relief from your frustrations means meeting challenges head on, fueled by the desire to become your best self. I’ve gone from an orphaned Cuban immigrant to mayor of a major city and from married to single at an age where most couples are settling in to enjoy retirement together. Now, as a mentor, speaker and author I’m passionate about making the world a better place for all by helping others become their best self.

Do this Daily to Create Greater Joy in Your Life
I will not experience again the same level of emotional pain I suffered the day I saw my parents disappear into the horizon as the plane I was on sped towards Miami from Havana, Cuba. Starting my American life as an orphan in a Colorado orphanage was rough. Yet, these events catapulted my life into the miracle of hope and opportunity it is today. When I reflect on my life, the proof is irrefutable; even the most painful events taught me lessons that helped shape me into a better man.
Is It Necessary to Have a Love Partner to Live a Successful Life?
There was a time when propagating was our species’ highest priority. To comply, one needed a mate of the opposite sex to create offspring.

Today, propagating humans is not as necessary as it used to be, for we can all see we have bred humans to beat the band.
Making Peace with an Unrepentant Abuser
Whenever I remember my father and mother, I am reminded of the thorny relationship I shared with both of them. Physical and emotional abuse played such an enormous part of our time together. It is not my intent to tarnish their memory, I bring it up because, fortunately, I have been able to reach a level of understanding and acceptance that they were, in their own way, doing the best they could. This allowed me to absolve what they did or failed to do, but it wasn’t easy.
