WHAT HELD US TOGETHER: Leadership When It Mattered Most
Special solo podcast with Christian González.
As the chapter’s second member — the first follower — Christian watched EO Puerto Rico grow from almost nothing. But real leadership revealed itself in the hardest year, when holding a community together mattered more than any plan. He shares the moment he realized the chapter didn’t just endure the crisis — its members needed each other more than ever — and what it taught him about the purpose of the tribe he helped build.

Built to Compete: Benjamin Kauffman on Discipline, Service & Going the Extra Mile
In this episode of EO Impact Drivers: In the Spotlight, Benjamin “Benji” Kauffman shares how competition, discipline, and a relentless drive to improve have shaped both his personal life and his journey as an entrepreneur.
From tennis and cycling to building Olympic Agency, Benji reflects on how the mindset of an athlete became part of the way he approaches business: set the goal higher, keep pushing, and never settle for average. He shares how early challenges taught him to adapt, how he turned discipline into opportunity, and why service—not just sales—became a core part of the culture he built with his team.
The conversation also explores leadership, independence, and what it means to give your team the freedom to solve problems, grow, and take ownership. For Benji, success is not built alone—it comes from challenging yourself, trusting your people, and making sure the entire team is rowing in the same direction.
A conversation about high performance, resilience, relationships, and the mindset it takes to keep moving toward the podium—in business and in life.

Del Legado al Futuro | EO Puerto Rico — 10 Años
For a decade, EO Puerto Rico has been the space where the island's entrepreneurs stop being alone.
In this documentary, ten presidents look back on the chapter's first ten years: from its founding with just a handful of members, through the challenges that tested it —Hurricane María, the pandemic— to becoming the community of more than a hundred entrepreneurs it is today.
Through their challenges, joys, lessons, and insights, each president shares what it meant to lead leaders, protect the chapter's values, and build something that outlasts any single year or presidency.
From the legacy that was built to the future just beginning: this is the story of a tribe that learned we are stronger together.
