The Key to Abundance: Rene Godefroy’s Journey from Haiti to the American Dream

In this unforgettable episode of The Way with Dino Katsiametis, Dino sits down with internationally renowned motivational speaker and author Rene Godefroy, whose life began in extreme poverty in rural Haiti—abandoned as a baby, starving, ridiculed, and written off by everyone around him.

Rene’s story isn’t just inspirational—it’s a masterclass in resilience, gratitude, sales mindset, and execution.

From begging for food to detailing cars for $2…
 From speaking broken English to keynote stages at major corporate events…
 From being told “you’ll never make it” to helping millions overcome adversity…

This episode connects personal transformation directly to business performance, showing why gratitude, consistency, and implementation—not talent—separate average producers from elite performers.

If you work in sales, lending, entrepreneurship, leadership, or personal growth, this conversation will reset how you view rejection, opportunity, and success.
