From Poverty to Power: How Engels J Valenzuela Left Amazon to Empower Underdog Entrepreneurs

In this powerful episode, Amb. Elisha sits down with Engels J Valenzuela — a former Amazon and Apple executive who left Silicon Valley to empower everyday entrepreneurs.

Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in poverty, Engels shares how he overcame trauma, gangs, and financial hardship to graduate from a top MBA program and work with billion-dollar brands.

Now, he’s on a mission to help founders who don’t know where to start.

Engels reveals the most overlooked growth strategy most entrepreneurs never hear about, and why mindset—not money—is the key to scaling your impact.

Listen in to learn:

• How Engels turned a traumatic childhood into purpose

• Why trading time for money is holding you back

• What growth strategies most founders never consider

• How to unleash your creativity to scale impact

Don’t miss this transformational conversation with a leader who proves that your messy beginning doesn't disqualify you from an extraordinary legacy.
