What happens when you emigrate with your family, leaving behind a life you've built, and then, shortly after, everything falls apart?
In this episode of the CrossBorders Podcast, VKG shares his story of emigrating from Argentina to Spain with his family and facing a reality completely different from what he had imagined.
We talk about the decision to emigrate, raising children with special needs, starting a new life in another country, the pandemic, losing his business, and reaching the point of not knowing what they would eat the next day.
We also discuss something that affects so many people after 40: losing their job, having to reinvent themselves, learning new skills, and adapting to a job market that is rapidly changing with artificial intelligence.
A very real conversation about emigration, family, work, identity, uncertainty, and the ability to start over when the original plan disappears.
