Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Eduardo Cardoso. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Eduardo thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s start with the decision of whether to donate a percentage of sales to an organization or cause – we’d love to hear the backstory of how you thought through this.
Absolutely we do.
It hasn’t always been this way; however, over the last four years, giving back has been something God put into my heart.
We started giving back with our time & service through organizations such as the CCA (Christian Community Action) and other Section 501 (c) organizations.
Currently, I’m serving and donating to Templo Pentesocal De Mckinney.
These people have blown my socks off, y’all…I am telling you, this is where miracles happen.
They are a very humble community, and they’re in the process of building a new church for their guests.
I can’t think of anyone else who deserves this blessing from God.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
First things first, I give all credit and glory to Jesus.
Without Him, I would not be here or who I am today
All the good things that have come out of my life are without a doubt because of Him
At 17 years old, I joined the Marine Corps out of Dallas Tx and went on 2 combat deployments to Sangin, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. By the Grace of God, I came back to Los Angeles and decided I wanted to be a business owner, specifically a director, producer, and actor.
This is, without a doubt, the short version, but I would say my most proud moment would be passing down everything that’s been given to me.
God has a sense of humor, and he’s provided me with all the opportunities to learn patience, love, humility, and to pass it down to the next persons who may need it.
I’ve been in a lot, and I mean A LOT of industries, but at the end of the day I’m not in the business of “directing, producing, storytelling, content creation,” etc et cetera
I am in the business of spreading God’s work &serving people
Making people feel heard, seen, and loved is what it’s all about
Being able to tell the story, and provide a product & service is simply a bonus
I love what I do, and I LOVE the people
Amen, amen, amen, thank you, Jesus.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
I want kids to see what I’m doing and think, “I could do that”
That’s literally how I got into this…
Except I waited so long to finally pursue my dreams.
I would love for kids to dream big.
Real big
I think these big dreams come from God.
Thats a big reason I always try and spread His word whenever I can.
God’s my driving force…I mean it…I couldn’t do this without him
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Wow….
Where to start
I grew up wrestling, so if you’ve ever wrestled, you knowhow hard that is…
But get this, I was also a competitive cheerleader
Try doing that in Texas
I got so much heat for that, but it was something I REALLY wanted to do
I’m telling you
SO many of my wrestling friends, and even my family laughed
I never let it get to me tho….ok maybe a little, but it never lasted
Even after all the stuff I went through in the Marines I think about the 2 years I was a male cheerleader
It was TOUGH
I joined such an incredible team
The Lewisville Fighting Farmers
I grew up in a small town if you couldn’t tell by the name….
BUT THEY WERE GOOD, still are actually
When I was there, we won State and got 5th at regionals, which, if I remember correctly, is the ESPN competition at Disney World in Florida…omg that was so much fun.
We were co-ed so we were always having a blast
As hard as it was, I really did love that period of my life
