Interview: Maha Mamo - I was born and raised stateless... today I'm Brazilian
Published in Portal Dynamic Mindset, on February 2018
Born in Lebanon, without being Lebanese, daughter of Syrians without being able to be Syrian. Weird? To understand this contradiction, you must know the story of Maha Mamo, the daughter of a Muslim mother and a Christian father. If she had been born in Brazil, she would not have that obstacle in her life. In Syria, the union of couples of different religions is prohibited. In love, his parents Jean Mamo and Kifah Nachar fled to Lebanon, where they were married. And there, you only have the right to nationality if the child's father is Lebanese.

Grit: key to success
Published in Portal Dynamic Mindset, on December 2018
This is a text different from everything I write. Normally, my approach is more technical, methodological and rational. However, after more than 20 years living with true winners in Brazil and around the world, I decided to study a little more to understand what could have contributed to this success. People who built important and complex businesses and careers to deal with, often without even having a formal or even complete formal education. I think I found one of the answers by reading the Book: Claw. The Power of Passion and Perseverance, by Angela Lee Duckworth.
