On todays episode I got the chance to interview one of my mentors Rodolfo Bonates. Ro and I first met over zoom when he interviewed me for a position as a studio manager at Orangetheory Fitness. The funniest thing about that interview was that years later when we reflected back about it, he and I both agreed that it only took a few minutes of chatting for us to realize that we were two people cut from the same cloth and our lives were meant to overlap. Which is why even after we both left OTF I still consider him not only a mentor but a friend. Ro is someone who believes in investing in relationships, whether these be personal or professional. This passion for people is what has driven him throughout a majority of his career, so much so that Ro recently embarked on a journey of self employment to start his own consulting business and podcast. This interview ended up being a mix of insight into who Ro really is, what he loves, what he struggles with, and what drives him but also some insightful thoughts and conversation about what makes a good leader. Safe to say this episode is full of advice and passion!
