Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Alex Almaraz. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Alex thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s start with education – we’d love to hear your thoughts about how we can better prepare students for a more fulfilling life and career
The way I would change the educational systems is by educating our students on topics or subjects that they’ll likely use in the real world. Most of our education system still goes over many things that aren’t relevant to the real world. Everything is moving digitally, students no long have skillsets that they can actually learn to make them income. Because unfortunately the system is taught us that if we don’t learn skills we just remain employees but if people learn skillsets they with the hard work they put in can earn more income, time, energy, & freedom.
Alex , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I am Alex Almaraz “Swift” been a professional educator for 13+ years teaching Hiphop/street dance to all ages. I love education an being of service to my community. Which has led me to digital entrepreneurship! I partnered with a platform that provides skillsets digitally that are highly relevant to our current society. It gave me a different way be of service to parents, and other aspiring entrepreneurs who don’t want something physical but digital and can run it from home. We do all things Crypto, trading, investing, e-commerce, social media, & so much more!!
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
When the pandemic hit I lost the ability to teach in schools and with my son being born I was conflicted with having to go back to a 9-5 to take care of my family. After years of hard work it was completely wiped Away and jobs were limited so I had to rely on stimulus and so much more. It was that moment not being able to provide for my family that I wanted something that could give me more time/energy/freedom and income. So I began to learn digital skillsets and at first failed quickly which was great because that’s what has led me to do this fulltime & help others achieve the same.
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
The most effective strategy has been to be a student and anything I am learning provide that value to my audience! I love to impact and so whether people join my business or not they can always join a few of our free calls we offer every week and or my master workshops on digital skillset.
