Spanish podcast episode (Share Your Mate, S2 E7) featuring Roberto Corona ("Robi Smiles"), a Chilean photographer, life coach and founder of Fundación Robi. Corona tells how early exposure to photography led to a successful audiovisual business that was largely destroyed by a 2012 robbery (≈42 million CLP in equipment/losses). Forced to restart, he used Couchsurfing and travel to reinvent himself; a 2013 encounter in New York (in Times Square) inspired the "Collecting Smiles" project — holding a sign and photographing people’s smiles — which grew into a global mission (77 countries mentioned). He explains the symbolic mascot 'Robbie', shares anecdotes (family in Ubud), and describes Fundación Robi's educational work including the Concurso Einstein (US$2,500 prize) to build a Manual of Practical Tools for Emotional Education. Episode themes: reinvention, gratitude, emotional education, and the universal language of the smile.
