In this Spanish‑language podcast episode, hosts Margarita and Sophie interview Cuban‑born media personality and author Ismael Cala. Cala recounts his turbulent childhood in Cuba marked by severe bullying, his father's schizophrenia, and his own battles with depression and mental‑health issues. He describes his daring but failed attempt to flee Cuba on a makeshift raft, the perilous journey that eventually led him to Canada, and the cultural shock of rebuilding his life from scratch – from a brief stint as a CNN correspondent to working as a waiter while learning English. A turning point arrives through a spiritual awakening; Cala credits mentors such as Deepak Chopra and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and adopts practices like chi kung, meditation, and intuition exercises that reshape his worldview. He reflects on humility, purpose, and personal development, emphasizing that success is a continuous process of learning and service. The conversation closes with light‑hearted banter about Cala’s “Calla Center,” future trips to Bali, the expanded edition of his book “Yo Pude, Tú Puedes” (which now focuses on relationships), and a playful nod to Sophie’s yoga and abdominal workouts. Throughout, Cala’s narrative blends personal hardship, resilience, spiritual growth, and a commitment to inspire others.
