He opens up about his darkest moment, the mentors who shaped him, and his philosophy on wealth, family, and what really matters when everything falls apart. Now running VIDA Blue Clay and Tico Guide Travel, Harlow is proof that reinvention is always possible. A masterclass in resilience, risk, and rebuilding from zero.
