Emilio Rodríguez

Growing up I was the kid who played with legos… and still love them, because I can't turn off my problem solving skills set.

As all kids ask "why" constantly, I guess I never grew out of that. Because I question everything still today I have been able to figure out and solve many business problems throughout my entrepreneurial life.

In 2010, along with my mother Susana Wise, we started a mental health center out of her basement with no budget and just over 3 years later it became a million dollar company and one of the most successful mental health services company in the Northern Virginia area.

I have started companies about cleaning services, mental health services, cinematography, website and business development services, and most recently a premium cigar imported from the Dominican Republic.

My passion for start-ups and innovation is overwhelming to the point that I go sleepless nights for being too excited thinking about the new idea.

The creation and development of online businesses is what has my heart right now as I help all my own businesses with their online presence and the development of the online brand.

The study of people that I admire much and are very successful have helped me very much in my career. There are people like Seth Godin, Tim Ferriss, Pat Flynn, Mark Cuban, John Lee Dumas and Richard Branson.

My main takeaway from people like them? Ideas are dime a dozen. Execution is what matters. I execute.

Always looking to solve the next problem, which could be the solution to many other problems, and who knows, the creation of the next Google can come out of it. Contact me through my personal website, www.emiliorodriguez.co/contact
