Sir Marco Robinson; Bestselling Author, Award-Winning Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, Prime Time TV Star, Business Tycoon, and Speaker. Today’s Episode Summary: After achieving success in anything, have you ever asked yourself "what would be my next achievement"? If you haven't then you should better ask yourself this question because success is not a "once in a lifetime" kind of thing, it is a process that should continue with your life. My today's guest, Marco Robinson, is someone who kept achieving success again and again and did not stop himself on his very first success considering it “once and for all”. Marco Robinson has a very impressive and long list of achievements but behind his successful life, there is a very difficult and challenging childhood. When he was 2 years old, Marco’s mother left Marco’s father and decided to go back to her family because Marco’s father was involved in gambling and had blown away her entire money. When Marco’s mother went back to her family, along with little Marco, her step-father thrown her out of the house and refused to shelter them. Afterward, the homeless mother and son started struggling for their survival, and meanwhile, his mother got married to a person who later on turned into a violent person. In this abusive environment Marco grew up as a traumatized and shy person, and then at the age of 15 an incident happened in Marco’s life that gave him courage to stand up against all odds of his life. Marco wanted to change his life and wanted to achieve success so badly that he worked tirelessly to build himself and his business. Determined Marco started the journey from being a salesperson and with few years, with the help of a mentor, he changed his density forever and set himself on the path of achievements one after another. Marco says that his mentor gave him a book on sales called “bring out the magic in your mind” by Al Koran which proved as a real game-changer in his sales career. Afterward, he built a strong reputation and received countless job opportunities from everywhere in the world. He was offered to run a public company in Malaysia which he accepted and started working in Malaysia. A few months later economy of Malaysia collapsed but regardless of that he turned this ordinary Malaysian company into a billion-dollar company. Then another sequence of achievements began in his life; he started his own company that went successful, he wrote a book that became the best selling, he started his TV show "Get a House for Free” on Channel 4 TV Station in the UK (where he gives houses away to the homeless and underprivileged people). He also made a movie "Legacy of Lies” that stood 4th on NETFLIX and also won 19 awards and TEN for the best feature film of 2020. He was also given the honorary title “knighthood” for helping the blinds in Malaysia to be allowed to keep guide-dogs in public places (that was not allowed in Malaysia before). This initiative started with a successful short documentary "Are You Blind" that attracted over 15 million viewers on Youtube and facebook. This documentary opened many new doors of opportunities for him and he also attracted a lot of fame and attention from the world. Now, keeping pandemic in perspective, Marco has started mentoring people to start their online business; whether it is an eCommerce store, social media agency, or their own course. He has also created a course for actors and filmmakers who are struggling to get to the NETFLIX and a bigger screen. Marco is renewing his success again and again with every new era and setting an amazing example for the world. To know how he achieved so many things in life, tune in and listen to this successful life podcast.

Digital security is a problem globally, not just in the more highly developed countries of the world. My guest today is Marco de Mello, a startup founder from Brazil who has built one of the most successful mobile app security companies in the world. His story is incredible, from his experience at Microsoft to startup founder, and you can hear his entire Journey on this episode. Marco's company, Psafe has produced one of the top 5 apps in Brazil and continues to pave the way when it comes to digital security. In this conversation, the two of us chat about digital security in general, Marco gives his advice for Latin American founders launching in the U.S., tells why U.S. based VCs should take a closer look at Latin America, and shares what he learned reporting to Bill Gates during his time at Microsoft. The advantage of testing an app in Brazil VS the U.S. As Marco and his team were building their business in Brazil they discovered that the growth of technology and its availability in Brazil coincided to create a perfect opportunity for them. The enthusiasm about technology created a massive user base for them as they were developing their product. That enthusiasm carried over into a willingness to help the company develop its app even further by troubleshooting and providing user feedback. Marco says there is a huge advantage to testing an app in Brazil or Latin America because of that enthusiasm factor. You can hear more of Marco’s insights about Latin American Business and the tech ecosystem in that part of the world, on this episode of Crossing Borders The avid enthusiasm about technology in Latin America is surprising. It's surprising to see how widespread the use of technology is outside borders of the United States. Marco de Mello says that Latin America contains an avid enthusiasm about technology, which is part of what explains the success of his digital security company, Psafe. In this conversation, Marco shares why he left Microsoft to move back to Brazil and begin his own digital security company, as well as how he's gone about building a world-class team and a world-class app at the same time. Clear, easy transfer of information is essential for any startup or company. One of the lessons Marco learned working at Microsoft is that no company can survive, much less thrive, if there isn't clear easy transfer of information to those who need it. Every startup or established company has to be able to communicate with its team members in ways that move the work forward rather than hinder it. At Microsoft, that lesson was amplified for Marco in his role on teams containing thousands of members spread all across the globe. Marco's insight into business and what it takes to run a successful one are rare, so take the time to listen. You will enjoy hearing him share them on this episode. If it’s digital, it’s hackable. Accept it and apply this advice. During our conversation, I asked Marco if he could share some of the biggest misconceptions people have about digital security. The first thing he said is that most people feel that digital security is not that important. But he says that if you are concerned about your physical life, you should also be concerned about your digital life because the repercussions of its misuse or abuse can be almost as damaging to you practically as a threat to your physical well-being. In this conversation, he gives us some very clear steps that everyone should take in order to secure their digital identity as well as how you can secure the devices you use to interact online. You've probably heard some of these before, but have you taken action on them? Outline of This Episode [1:22] The new San Francisco headquarters for Psafe and how the company began and grew.
