Interview with Luis Hernandez

Thursday Aug 22, 2024
Interview with Luis Hernandez, who despite being born into an immigrant family with little resources in under-privileged, inner-city communities, was the first in his family to graduate go to college and get out of "the hood" and become a successful businessman and family man.
He broke the cycle of poverty for his future generations and gave back by inspiring others to pursue their dream life with my podcast "The Wayfinder Show". After building a wildly successful real estate investment empire in Baltimore, MD during my 20s, Luis lost it all during the 0809 housing collapse. His kids were 1 and 3 years old at the time and they lost their home and had to start all over.
They did so in Colorado where I took a step back to learn more about business by pursuing an MBA and focusing on being a good father and husband. Then Luis founded a boutique real estate firm in Denver, CO called Pioneer Group Realty. Along the way, he also got into long-distance running which taught him so much about what it takes to be successful, helped me build an amazing community of friends, and took him all over the world. Luis recently earned my sixth star of the World Marathon Majors.
