Lost On Purpose!

Since I was a kid, I’ve dreamed of becoming an entrepreneur. I never went to high school or business school, which made me even more eager to learn what makes an entrepreneur great and successful. Life has taught me that my best teachers have been other entrepreneurs and clients I’ve met along my journey. 

Learning from them has shaped my path, but I’ve always wondered: What could be my next challenge or opportunity to settle and finally be where I’m supposed to be?

Recently, I stumbled upon the story of Andre de Sousa former Scrum Master,  French-Portuguese entrepreneur who became one almost by accident. He realized his value while working on a project for the City of Paris, which was equivalent to the renowned coding school, 42. Intrigued, I started chatting with him in a WhatsApp group of L'Hacienda, about automation tools. He mentioned his ability to build A.I. Agents, and that was enough to pique my curiosity. We decided to hop on a video call.

During our conversation, I realized Andre wasn’t just a tech-savvy guy. He had created something unique—a program with a real impact on students who feel lost, want to explore, travel, experiment, and ultimately figure out what they truly want to do. His approach? Helping them tip-toe into immersive experiences to see what their future could look like if they chose one path over another.

Andre is giving wings to those who never thought they could cross the ocean, go to Silicon Valley, and act like future startup founders—without wasting time, money, or taking huge risks upfront. Honestly, knowing this now, I wish this bootcamp had been accessible to me years ago! Instead of running around like a chicken searching for eggs, this program would have been a game-changer for me.

But what exactly is this program? What can you expect? I asked Andre to break it down so you can grasp the essence of his vision and consider reaching out to him if it resonates with you.
