I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I’ve endured many hardships, setbacks, and failures along the way. Went through a period of homelessness several years ago. Facing with so many challenges in my life. However, I learned how to keep on going and persevering forward.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I considered myself as a game-changer, in which I learned how to think outside the box. Learning how to push my potential, by going above and beyond.

The story behind my mission began with my own journey of self-discovery and overcoming adversity. Through my writing, such as “The GameChanger Perspective” and “Broken Relationships: Confronting Emotional Neglect in the Marriage,” I share insights and strategies that have helped me and others navigate difficult situations. My mission is meaningful to me because I have seen firsthand the transformative power of self-awareness, resilience, and personal development.
Hi Oscar, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind my success, and the success of The GameChanger Perspective brand, is my vision. I’ve always had a clear and compelling vision that has driven my journey, allowing me to overcome adversity and achieve my goals.
Thinking outside the box, taking risks, and staying resilient have been crucial in shaping my success.
My passion for creating meaningful and impactful content has also played a significant role. I strive to inspire and empower others through my work, and this dedication to my mission has helped me build a strong connection with my audience.
Being the only one in the room who looks like me has certainly come with its challenges, but it’s also provided me with unique opportunities to grow and lead effectively. Here’s how I’ve navigated these situations:
1. Embrace My Unique Perspective
I recognize that my background and experiences bring valuable insights to the table. I use my distinct perspective to offer creative solutions and innovative ideas that others might not consider.
2. Build Confidence
Confidence is key when I’m in the minority. I believe in my abilities and the value I bring. I practice speaking assertively and maintaining confident body language.
3. Cultivate Allies and Mentors
I seek out allies and mentors within and outside my organization who can offer support, guidance, and advocacy. Building a network of supporters helps me navigate challenges and leverage opportunities.
4. Leverage Emotional Intelligence
Developing my emotional intelligence has been crucial in understanding and managing my own emotions and those of others. This skill helps me build strong relationships, resolve conflicts, and influence others effectively.
