The biggest strength is also the biggest challenge: mindset
For Andrés Bilbao, co-founder of Rappi, building something big starts with a powerful mindset. In this video, he shares a key lesson: your mindset can be your greatest strength—but also your greatest challenge if you don’t expand it, test it, and stay aware of it.
Thinking big, bouncing back from failure, and acting with conviction isn’t luck—it’s trained. The right mindset isn’t just what gets you started; it’s what keeps you going when things get hard.

You might be an expert in two or three things… but you’ll need to handle ten, twenty, or thirty
In this video, Andrés Bilbao shares a core truth about entrepreneurship: what you know today isn’t enough. Starting a company means constantly learning, stepping into the unknown, and leaning on people with more experience to grow faster.
Even if you master a few skills, the journey will demand many more. That’s why it’s not about knowing everything—it’s about learning fast, listening well, and knowing how to ask for help.

We’re all DJs—no one really invents anything, we just mix things
In this video, Andrés Bilbao challenges the myth that entrepreneurship means creating something from scratch. Most solutions already exist. The real skill is knowing how to combine, adapt, and execute with clarity.
As he puts it, “we’re all DJs”—we work with ideas that are already out there, but we remix them with purpose. Learning from the best, studying what works, and skipping the mistakes others have made is a smarter way to build. It’s not about being the most original—it’s about being the most effective.
