Hey there, curious minds! My name is AV De Jesus II, head of this small but very powerful concept of "Molding Mindsets." My story isn't one of instant triumphs or effortless achievements. I'm your regular "Juan," navigating the ups and downs of life, much like anyone else. Raised with the help of caring grandparents, I was blessed with a quality education, yet I was no straight-A student, nor a standout professional. I was average, but determined.

It was later in the competitive arenas of the professional world that I first encountered the power of a growth mindset. My peers, who seemed to ascend effortlessly, served not as a source of envy, but as inspiration. They climbed corporate ladders swiftly; I took the stairs. They moved with confidence; I learned resilience. This contrast wasn't a setback, but a setup for a journey of relentless self-improvement.

"Molding Mindsets" emerged from this very journey. It's more than a platform; it's a testament to the belief that we can all be more than our current selves. It's my therapy and constant reminder that with effort, we can sharpen our minds, strengthen our bodies, and enrich our spirits.

I am no expert but here, I share what I've learned and continue to learn: practical ways to develop skills, stay relevant, and more importantly, forge character and embrace our evolution as individuals. The world and our knowledge within and around it are constantly changing; I share information, things to help provoke insights from diverse minds, but feel free to take them with a grain of salt.

This journey isn't just mine – it's ours. Whether you're taking small steps or giant leaps, "Molding Mindsets" is here to remind you that you're not alone. We're all in a state of becoming, of molding ourselves into better, stronger, more capable versions of who we are. Join me in this endeavor, and let's shape our futures together.
