How does a small-town kid from middle of nowhere West Virginia end up an expert in traveling, living and doing business on South America's "tumultuous" streets? Welcome to the inaugural episode of Matt Chambers Connects, where I take you on an unexpected adventure that merges the worlds of the rural United States and Latin America.From growing up in a tiny town with just three stoplights to successfully building and exiting two businesses, all while discovering a passion for Latin American culture, all by the age of 40. This passion was ignited primarily by an inquisitive spirit, many books about Amazon Jungle, Machu Picchu, and one short trip 3 month trip to Venezuela. This episode touches on my transformative trip to one of the most dangerous cities on the planet,Caracas Venezuela, and hits on the idea behind this podcast. You'll hear how a fateful encounter with some incredible Venezuelan friends in college and a bit of Johnny Walker led me to book a flight to Hugo Chavez's Venezuela right after graduation.
Get ready for stories and interviews that challenge conventional paths and celebrate bold leaps of faith. I share my vision for this podcast and how it aims to bridge the gap between Latin American and The U.S. Cultures. Whether it's recounting childhood memories or my early ventures into the business world, this episode sets the stage for an exploration of the rich cultural tapestry that connects these two distinct regions. Tune in to learn how my experiences across these vibrant landscapes have shaped my perspective and why I believe understanding and connecting with different cultures is more crucial than ever.
