We had the good fortune of connecting with Tago and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tago, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
I know to keep going in a certain direction when I continue to be led down a path despite my resistance to it, no matter how I feel about the path I’m on I have to keep going regardless because I was meant to stay on that path. To me,
giving up = reroute, there is never an option to stop what I am doing sometimes you just have to take another direction to get to the same path. Many times in my journey I have struggled between giving up or keep going and somehow I am still here, the answer is to always keep going.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I got here through a series of unfortunate events just like the book, my path to success has been far from easy, but I don’t regret any bit of my journey. It took countless prayers, loads of encouragement, and a positive environment to keep me motivated. I want people to know that nothing in life that’s worth something is going to come easy, you have to remain determined in motivated in what you do and to have purpose, the challenges have given me an unreal amount of resilience and perseverance so I know I can keep going forever.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Hmmm… I would definitely take them skydiving first, then Jet Skiing in Grapevine Lake, and a boat ride at DFW Boat Ride. In my opinion, anything that has to do with outdoor activities and being in nature are the most exciting places to be. Trails, parks, lakes are some of the most fun places to be and then finishing off with some food from a local mom and pop restaurant.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family, they have been the ones to keep me going, at the end of the day we all need family to be there to support through the dark and rough times. With having family to rely on it provides an outlet to help with the pain and loss of faith that you experience on your journey. They pray for me and I pray for them so we all keep each other strong.
