  Let's Wine: Stories Uncorked™ | Episode 46 | FIEXPO - Ep. 9 | Kike Ramirez

  Sep 4, 202624 min

  In this episode of Let's Wine Stories Uncorked™, recorded at FIEXPO 2026 in San José, Costa Rica, Andrea Padilla, CEO & Founder of Square Root Marketing, sits down with Kike Ramírez, international speaker, entrepreneur and author of the bestselling book Prohibido Rendirse (Never Give Up), over a glass of Protos.Kike shares how Prohibido Rendirse started as a social media phrase that went viral before there was ever a conference or a book, and how that movement has taken him across Latin America and beyond. He talks about why identity drives mindset more than any motivational technique, the real risk AI poses to those who choose not to learn it, why Latin America needs to change the story it tells about itself, and why your purpose was never something you had to find. One of the most energizing conversations we have had on this podcast.

  Let's Wine: Stories Uncorked™ | Episode 45 | FIEXPO - Ep. 8 | Borja Castelar

  Aug 26, 202625 min

  In this episode of Let's Wine Stories Uncorked™, recorded at FIEXPO 2026 in San José, Costa Rica, Andrea Padilla, CEO & Founder of Square Root Marketing, sits down with Borja Castelar, author of Power Skills and former President of LinkedIn for Latin America, over a glass of Protos. A Spaniard who moved from Dublin to São Paulo overnight when Microsoft acquired LinkedIn and rerouted his entire career plan, Borja has since become one of the most sought-after voices on personal brand, human skills, and the future of work across Latin America and Spain.The conversation covers why he refuses to call them soft skills and what he calls Power Skills instead, the study showing that 85% of professional success depends on them, the four elements every professional needs to build a career in the AI era, and how to actually interact with AI instead of just using it as a search engine. He also makes the case that imperfect action taken consistently will always beat perfect action taken someday. A practical, sharp, and energizing episode.

Juliana talks about the structural changes still needed for women who lead teams while raising children, the Legacy Link program that brings students from vulnerable communities into major congresses as full participants, and how Grupo Heroica built an internal team dedicated entirely to using AI and technology to remove friction and put the client first. She closes with the message she would give to any woman in the industry: dare more, take risks, and enjoy every step of the way.
