Wealth & Wisdom Circle with Fitz Villafuerte!


Fitz Villafuerte
I'm so excited to announce that this blog, Piso and Beyond will now feature individuals who have contributed to the improvement of our financial awareness! 

These are the people we really look up to -- investors, authors, bloggers, financial advocates, businessmen, entrepreneurs, artists -- role models in their own, big way! I call it the Wealth & Wisdom Circle series.
 

Piso and Beyond will feature at least one of them by asking 25 Questions about success, results, sales, marketing, personal finance and life in general. Some questions will aim to reveal their human side to show that regardless of how successful and influential they may be, they're just a bunch of normal people like us and that whatever success or fulfilling life they have now is nothing but a result of their continuous work, learning and dedication to their passion. 

These are the people who share that vision to help us change the way we think and see things for a brighter life ahead of us.

And what better way to kick start this feat than to have the man who has very well inspired me to write and learn more about the world of personal finance, Fitz Villafuerte!

  2. I liked most of your questions, they bring something fresh with the Q@A type of thing, I was expecting the usual questions of how was the guy able to make some millions or why did he do this or that, but instead you dropped something unique. Now go thank Fitz for his light yet genuine take on most of his answers ;-)
