Making change doesn’t have to be sudden, abrupt or even reactive – instead it can be slow as we evolve through the passage of time. Esteban beautifully articulates how the influences of his bohemian parents helped him navigate the ups and downs of life. What makes this episode so special is witnessing someone that has learned, from such a young age, to embrace the likes of mindfulness, gratitude, meditation, the importance of being present and prioritising one’s happiness, as a lifestyle and attitude, as opposed to a more prescribed practice. By being so open about how he thinks, his mindset, and approach to his new brand and life chapter – Esteban gives a special insight into how to seize new opportunity with grace and authenticity. So many great takeaways here. Thank you Esteban.
