Episode #003 with Max Borges - A True Comeback Story

Miami Creators

We all love a good comeback story. Everyone wants to cheer for the guy that is down on his luck and Max Borges was that guy. On January 1, 2001 after being fired from his job, he finally hit rock bottom. But true to form, he did what no one else would do. He put all his belongings in storage, took his savings and booked a round-the-world plane ticket in hopes of finding himself. You don’t often hear a podcast begin in such a dreary way but not to worry... this comeback story does not disappoint!
