#27. How to Grow a Startup Scene in Latin America with Luis Gustavo Flores (Founder of Movitext)

Have you tried acid?

Some people listen to Hendrix, others play in the woods. This next guest took acid and watched 8 hours of TED talks, inspiring him to host a TEDx event.

Luis Gustavo Flores is a Founder, and fellow podcast host.

We get into some wild topics, like the acid trip that led to a TEDx event, why it’s not wise to group Latin America together as a whole, and buying a plane.
