160 Pablo Gonzalez Vargas: Burning Man, Mayan Warrior, Healing and Transformational Platform

Noble Warrior with CK Lin

My guest is Pablo Vargas, the founder of the Mayan Warrior, a multimedia art vehicle that has been featured at Burning Man since 2012, and Ilumina, an interactive light and sound installation that made its debut at the festival in 2017. Outside of Burning Man, he has built a career in various industries, from e-payments to media to the visual and performing arts. He is the founder of Sr. Pago, one of the leading e-payment platforms in Latin America, and also the founder of EXA Radio and TV, a media outlet that targets the youth market. But it's not just his business acumen that sets Pablo apart. So, stay tuned as we discuss his journey, and the insights he has gained throughout his diverse and accomplished career.
