INVERSIONISTA EXPERTO: Cómo convertir $50 en 8 MILLONES

My guest today is Juan Carlos Herrera @jcinvesting21, the man I entrusted with my own money strategy. Juan Carlos, nicknamed "El Gringo," was born in Houston to Mexican parents, managed billions of dollars in the United States, and today is the architect of how money is advised in Mexico: he leads the entire GBM investment and advisory platform and is a founding partner of two investment firms in Texas. His philosophy can be summed up in one sentence: zero opinions, pure evidence. And his star piece of advice is the most boring you'll ever hear. Today we're going to understand why boring is exactly what your money needs. Today's episode is one I'm very excited about, and you'll soon find out why. "If they tell you 'there's no risk,' run. That's your first warning sign that it's a scam." – Juan Carlos Herrera This episode is presented by Eight Sleep, the company revolutionizing sleep technology, and Hostinger, the platform that helps you have the best online presence.

Eight Sleep created the Pod, a smart cover that you place on top of your current mattress and that completely transforms your sleep. The new version, Pod 5 Ultra, automatically regulates your temperature during the night, so you sleep more deeply, without interruptions… and wake up with more energy, focus, and mental clarity. Each side of the bed has its own temperature—from 12°C to 43°C—so if you're hot and your partner is cold, you can each sleep as you like. And if you snore, the Pod detects it and slightly adjusts your position to stop you… without waking you up. They also now have a temperature-controlled blanket and pillowcase. Take advantage of the biggest discount of the year from November 10th to December 1st: Go to https://www.eightsleep.com/osotrava and use my code OSOTRAVA to get up to $7,000 MXN off the Pod 5 Ultra. * These days, if you're not online, it's like you don't exist.
