Sh*t I Scrapped My Backup Plan

What’s your nature? It’s an incredibly deep question to ponder but one that can be the clue to finding out how to feel fulfilled. When faced with a turning point in his life, my guest today, Enrique Carral Trevino, spent some time trying to discover his nature and figure out what was next for him.

Enrique was a consultant turned tech entrepreneur. After living abroad for many years, he decided to move back home to Mexico City and start a coding bootcamp that, he believed, was going to make a huge impact on the country by opening doors to new tech talent. Unfortunately, things rarely go as planned and after trying hard to make his company work out, Enrique decided to close up shop. This decision led him to question pretty much everything in his life — his attitudes, his chosen path, his passions.

I sit down with Enrique to talk about his journey working in different countries, building a company and his year-long journey of self-discovery.

Enrique is a global and multilingual professional and entrepreneur who was born and raised in Mexico City, but has lived in four countries and speaks four languages. His professional journey comprises a mixture of management consulting, strategy, business development, and entrepreneurship. He is a naturally curious person and has a strong passion for nature, opera, cycling, and personal development. Enrique holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering (cum laude) from Northwestern University and an MBA from London Business School.
