Alfredo J. Molina (The Molina Group)
Re-energize and garner a new perspective from multi-millionaire and philanthropist Alfredo Molina, sharing
life lessons on the value of building and maintaining all sorts of business and personal relationships,
which allowed him to rise to the top of his industry. A refugee arriving in Chicago in 1967, he was touched
by the kindness of strangers, leading him to a life helping others, and unparalleled success. It’s these
lessons and experiences that shaped the development of his three life philosophies:
• Everything happens for a good reason.
• Nothing has a meaning, except the meaning I give it.
• Tremendous frustration is tremendous success.
Join us as we learn how to apply these philosophies to our own businesses and personal lives.
