Welcome to the Wichmann & Co Podcast, where real talk meets real strategy for entrepreneurs with purpose. Hosted by Cecilia Wichmann, cardiac arrest survivor turned powerhouse speaker and founder of Wichmann & Co, this podcast is your bi- weekly dose of clarity, connection, and kick-in-the-pants inspiration.
We’re so sorry for the echo in this recording. During the interview, José could hear it, but I couldn’t on my end. Even with echo cancellation on, it came through. I hope you can bear with it because this episode is absolutely worth it.
José Angel Pereira's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. From leading Citgo Petroleum to surviving years as a political prisoner in Venezuela, José’s story is one of leadership, resilience, faith, and hope. He opens up about the emotional power of handwritten letters, the lessons learned in solitary confinement, and the moment success took on a whole new meaning.
Today, José uses his experience to coach entrepreneurs, helping them discover purpose and persevere when life throws its hardest challenges.

Why Behind The Mic
Welcome to the very first episode of the Wichmann & Co Podcast! I’m Cecilia Wichmann, entrepreneur, speaker, and bold dreamer. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on why this podcast exists and what you can expect from it.
In this kickoff episode, you’ll hear how my family legacy (from inventors to opera singers), a whole lot of bold moves, and a lifelong desire to help people step into their potential led me to create this show. From Swedish horses to Texas EMT shifts, I’ve lived a lot of life, and now I’m bringing you real conversations and practical inspiration from entrepreneurs, speakers, and creatives from around the world.
This podcast is not just about business. It is about bravery. It is about showing up, speaking up, and building something bold even when you are scared.
And guess what? You might just be my next guest.
