On this super inspiring episode of This Magic Life, Andrea sits down with world traveler, sky diver, helicopter pilot, bestselling author of Level Up and Ironman-winning athlete Alvaro Nunez, whose “titles” don’t stop there!

As a rising tennis champion at 16 years old, Alvaro’s life changed dramatically when the combination of his father suffering a massive heart attack and Spain’s economy tanking ended his dream to continue playing tennis at a world-class level.

Instead of wallowing in self-pity, Alvaro landed a sports scholarship to attend university in the U.S. where he studied marketing. Over the next several years, he’d graduate as the class Valedictorian and would land a 6-figure job at a hot marketing company and accomplish everything he ever dreamed of… Only to find himself unfulfilled, lose his Visa, and forced to leave the U.S.

Listen to the full episode to hear Alvaro share how that massive curveball allowed him to start dreaming even bigger and how he went from door-knocking to owning a successful luxury real estate business.

Plus, discover why he actually seeks out challenges and his secret to attracting more serendipity to your life.

Tune in to the next episode of This Magic Life on June 26th to hear the story of a Yale Medical School psychiatrist who believes deeply in the power of magic and serendipity and has written books on the synchronicities of coincidences.
