One Take with Sergio Lopes

👉 The Scoop – If you follow Sergio Lopes in Facebook, you’re used to seeing a younger Sergio hobnobbing with a plethora of stars from every galaxy. That, by itself, would set Sergio apart from 99% of us. Two other incredible things about Sergio: He has an actual Gold Record as a producer AND he’s had not one, but two heart transplants.

👉 Decisive Moment #1 – He blatantly disregarded his boss’ orders and created his agency’s most successful campaign ever for a children’s product called Turma do Balamagico. But you’ve got to listen to the podcast, because as a result of that campaign he wound up with a Playboy Centerfold Model in Tahiti for a month.

👉 Unexpected change or event – To name one: Spotify.

👉 What did he do? – No sense of guilt. “The way opportunities pass in front of you, you have to cope with the things that you don't do, and you shouldn't develop a sense of guilt. It is what it is. Sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you're not and keep going.”

👉 About older workers – Listen to the more mature professionals that you think are useless not because they're old, but because they have such an experience.
