Raised in a Cuban household shaped by exile, education, and resilience, he learned early that how much you know is how much you\u2019re worth. Knowledge was currency. Self-awareness was survival. He spent fifteen years as a professional actor before founding Fearless Communicators. Today, he coaches presidential candidates and Fortune 500 leaders, helping them find the narratives that define their leadership. He calls himself a \u201cstory doula.\u201d The work turned deeply personal during a night stranded alone on a Colorado mountain in a blizzard. With no service and no rescue in sight, Placer faced a choice: either fear would narrate the story, or he would. That moment reinforced what he now teaches leaders across industries. Storytelling is not performance. It is power. As a queer Latino navigating masculinity, perfectionism, and entrepreneurship, Placer understands that the stories we inherit are not always the ones we are meant to keep. In this episode of The Latino Majority, he joins Pedro to explore authorship, identity, and why reclaiming your narrative may be the most important leadership decision you make.
