On today's episode, Isaac has an intriguing and inspiring conversation with Fernando Ceballos about the hurdles he faced in his personal and professional lives, from being a kid with divorced parents and losing his dad while still in college to how being dyslexic affected him and his preparation for the PE exam. He is a guy with humble and troubled beginnings who has thrived professionally and is now helping others overcome their own challenges. Fernando is a project engineer for Pape-Dawson Engineers, a statewide firm in Texas, working with multifamily, commercial and industrial land development, while also co-hosting the Dealing With Life Stuff podcast, which aims at young professionals and college students, trying to help them in the process of figuring out what the next steps in their lives are. The podcast is focused on career and life, and it teaches how young professionals, the millennials, can navigate through life knowing that it's going to be hard, but they are perfectly capable of getting through and succeeding at it. As a career coach himself, Fernando goes through the importance of mentorship in many different areas of life, and mentions the different ways he has already used to improve himself as a person and as an engineer. He also provides advice for both those who may be in the same clinical situation as him, having to deal with the hurdles posed by dyslexia, and those who may have to face other types of obstacles. We all know they come in all forms and shapes. This is an inspiring story for literally anyone and it will certainly provide you with a spark of motivation to do whatever it is that you want to do despite the obstacles, and it will also give you a ton of resources to look into in order to keep developing yourself and learning.
