Do you follow certain opinions where people raise you compared to you raising yourself? TrulyYourVA with Janis podcast guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center.
Janis Melillo: You, you were, you've been in Costa Rica for 22 years. What led you to start this type of business?
Richard Blank: There's really no blueprint for it, and so when I was in high school in Northeast Philadelphia, I doubled down on my favorite class, which was Spanish. So when I graduated Abington in 91. . I went to the University of Arizona and was a Spanish communication major.
Mm-hmm. , because at 18, what are you gonna choose unless you have a predestined career and you follow certain opinions where people raise you compared to you raising yourself. Mm-hmm. , I had to understand that I needed to be marketable. And versatile. And if there is a way that I could separate myself from friends, by being able to translate and to speak, I might be able to have a different career path.
And so at 27 I was given a one and a million opportunity. It was only supposed to be for two months, and I came down to my friend's call center to train and teach English, and I just fell in love with it so much. I decided to put my stuff in storage in the United States and. You know, throw my hat in the ring and try a life here.
And when you learn a business from the inside and out and you're with the people, the proletariat, you can really understand ways to enhance the experience. And so in my mid thirties, I decided to throw my hat in the ring and start my own company.
Janis Melillo: That is just so amazing to me now, internal interpersonal communications.
