Episode 16 - Claus Souza: Being patient, adapting and making the most out of each stage of life!

This one was truly heartwarming and such a fun experience. I had the chance to chat with a dear friend and one of my biggest role models, Claus Souza. We first met at Laurentian University when Claus was one of my personal trainers while I was a student. From there, we built a friendship that will last a lifetime. Back in those early days, we would always talk about our dreams. He was actually one of the very first people I told about my vision to start a clothing brand. At the same time, he shared his own dream of one day working in the NBA and with elite athletes. Fast forward to today, Claus is living that dream as an NBA Champion, working as one of the health and conditioning coaches for the Denver Nuggets. In this episode, we talk about his incredible journey, growing up in Brazil, coming to Canada for school, moving to the United States for new opportunities, and everything in between. Claus is one of those people who carries himself with wisdom and humility and has a way of making everyone around him feel seen and heard. His heart of gold, his relentless work ethic, and his drive for success are nothing short of inspiring. I could not be prouder of him, not just for what he has accomplished on the court but for the beautiful life he is building off the court as well with his growing family and so much more.
