Corzo, 28, has been featured in Forbes magazine and has even dabbled in motivating others as a TED Talk speaker and career mentor. But the native Peruvian’s journey has not been easy; in fact, as a migrant to the United States, the door for many opportunities were shut on Corzo early on as he prepared himself for adulthood. Take note: this is all before the inauguration of DACA in 2012, when Corzo’s attempts at garnering a driver’s license, getting financial aid for college, and even acquiring a work permit left him at a loss. Without an established legal residency, he was repeatedly turned away and had to get creative with making his place in this country.
“If the door for opportunities close, I go through a window,” Corzo stated. This dreamer went on to make his visions a reality, including paying his own way through college – and graduating with TWO bachelor’s degrees – to try his hand in real estate methods that led him to a fruitful career coupled with financial freedom. Although the Dream Act eventually gave him some freedom to garner those achievements, Corzo also had to play major catch-up to match others who’d continued ahead without limitations.
Ever felt too overwhelmed to stay on that work flow or go after those goals? You don’t want to miss this episode! Reyna connects with Corzo for a humble and transparent conversation about the journey that helped him circumvent even the slightest obstacles to achieve the life he lives today.
