In this episode of the "Yo Pude, Tú Puedes" podcast, Beto Pérez, the Colombian creator of Zumba, shares an extensive personal narrative that traces his journey from a poverty‑stricken childhood in Cali, Colombia, to becoming a global fitness icon. He recounts his mother’s hard‑working single‑parent household, early exposure to dance through movies like Grease and the influence of Michael Jackson, and the hardships of growing up amid drug‑related family turmoil. Beto describes how he earned his first money as a teenage messenger, entered a modeling agency, and began teaching dance in local clubs. A pivotal moment occurred when he improvised an aerobics class using a borrowed cassette of 80s music, which sparked the accidental birth of Zumba. He emphasizes the core principles that guided his rise—patience, perseverance, constancy, discipline, and visualization—while also highlighting his inclusive philosophy that anyone, regardless of age or body type, can dance. The conversation moves to his expansion of Zumba worldwide, the branding decisions (renaming from “Rumba” to “Zumba”), and the scale of the business (180 countries, 15 million weekly participants). Later, Beto opens up about his personal life, including his use of surrogacy and egg donation to become a father, detailing the selection process, legal considerations, and emotional aspects. He also touches on the Zumba TV series, the new mobile app, and his ongoing vision for the brand. Throughout, the tone remains conversational, enthusiastic, and reflective, underscoring a narrative of resilience and optimism.
