Eight Questions With Featured Grey Swan Guild Member: Agustín Borrazás
Chief Executive Director, Content Strategist, Singularity & Transhumanism Expert and HODLer on Bitcoin, we call him Borra
Our Eight Questions is part of our ongoing series profiling some of the amazingly talented members of our global Grey Swan Guild and get behind the curtain of what makes them think and sense the world differently and more effectively than others.
Agustín Borrazás — Uruguayan Trappist Monk by training, Polished by the Interwebs, The Southern Hemispheres’ Gary Vee
Bio: Agustin studied Communications at the UCU with an emphasis in advertising and at 24 years old and he felt a vocation to the contemplative monastic life. Throughout his twenties, he lived in Argentina, Colombia, USA and Uruguay in different monasteries and although he never made a vow, it helped me a lot to train in the areas of philosophy and theology.
Agustin is a dyed-in-the wool entrepreneur, building out startup culture in Montevideo. He has lived in Argentina, Colombia and United States, blending learning along the way. He is shrewd and resourceful, applying exegesis and hermeneutics. Driven by a higher vision of humanity’s state, he manifests abundance and uses synchronicities to gain even more knowledge as he gives back to others. He believes strongly in the empowerment of women and reducing the gap in gender equality. He is involved in combining his drive to construct co-working spaces in Uruguay with his passion for exponential technologies.
