In this episode of the Spanish‑language podcast “Yo Pude, Tú Puedes,” host Margarita (joined by Angie) interviews Juan José Florián, known as “Mochoman,” a Colombian survivor of a 2011 FARC‑linked explosive attack that amputated both arms, a leg and an eye. Juan José recounts the immediate aftermath—coma, severe burns, and a year of intense grief and anger—followed by a turning point where he evaluated his loss, accepted his new reality, and asked “what can I do with what I have?” He describes small rehabilitation milestones (learning to use a simple phone, dressing himself) and how sport became his vehicle for purpose: swimming, then cycling, leading to national C1 road and time‑trial championships, multiple Pan‑American medals, and a spot on the Movistar Team Colombia with a goal of competing at the Paris Paralympics. He also shares his work as a motivational speaker, his philosophy against victimhood (“excuse‑itis”), the importance of setting goals, confronting bullying, and the supportive role of his family and partner Angie. Throughout the conversation the tone is conversational, uplifting, and candid, with Juan José alternating between raw emotional recollection and practical advice (evaluate, accept, act). The episode ends with a call to listeners to persist despite hardship.
