He continues to share how his media company was made and what they provide. Rodrego shares how he has seen the difference between living and working in Rio, San Paulo, and America. He gives insight to what he was interested in working with at the time of starting out in 2005, and how it was hard to start because social media was not as popular as it is today.

Jeremiah asks about how he manages to balance and trust all his business partners. Rodrego tells both the good and the bad experiences that he has faced over time, and how he has learned and evolved over time in managing all his responsibilities.

Jeremiah emphasises the weight of trust and how it truly will affect business partners and the growth of a company. 

 

Segment 3 

Jeremiah and Rodrego talk about what it means being an entrepreneur, having multiple businesses, and still having time to do what you want. The two talk about the beauty about being able to step away from the company while still being involved in it. Jeremiah talks about how the pandemic had affected Rodrego and his companies. Rodrego tells how they flourished during the pandemic and expanded, he spoke about his Jiu Jitsu company and how that not only began but grew after partnering with Gregor, a guest of Jeremiahs on previous episodes. 

Segment 4

Jeremiah restates the highlights of the show, bringing up how important the people you surround yourself with are, as well as remembering to let go of some of the responsibilities. Jeremiah continues to talk about how he has seen so many entrepreneurs that they don't let go, but it is impossible to do it all when creating a company. Giving up some responsibility to a partner shows trust and lets the process flow much more smoothly.
