182: Ex Apple/Google Exec Turned Heart-Led Coach, Julio Alvarez, Shares Why The Most Important Decisions Should Be Made From The Heart

The Light Watkins Show

Today’s guest is a prime example of finding your purpose and forging your own path no matter what life throws at you. Julio Alvarez is a Founder, Speaker, Coach, and Podcaster who is on a mission to help other leaders navigate uncertain times with a calm head and courageous heart.
We begin our conversation with an exploration of Julio’s childhood, including his favorite toys and activities as a youth, the family dynamic he grew up in, and how his idea of success differed from those of his parents.
Then, we jump into Julio’s professional journey as he explains how he adjusted to leaving home at a young age, what he learned from his first job in sales, how he built unshakable self-belief, what separates working at massive organizations like Google and Apple from jobs at their smaller counterparts, and what he learned from obsessively studying Oprah and how she deals with people.
Julio is also extremely vulnerable in opening up about his Adderall addiction, how he’s overcome the struggles of being “the other” in every environment he’s worked in, how he took ownership of his sexuality, and the moment when coaching revealed itself as his destiny. We also learn about what Julio hopes to achieve with his podcast, Let’s God with Julio, and how a snowstorm in London brought him to his soulmate.
