Meet Cesar Serrano | Parent & Entrepreneur

We had the good fortune of connecting with Cesar Serrano and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cesar, as a parent, what do you feel is the most meaningful thing you’ve done for them?
As a parent to three boys, I have had a significant impact on their lives in three key areas: discipline, dedication, and the experiences I purposedly have exposed them to. In terms of discipline, I have consistently and fairly set boundaries, teaching my boys the importance of responsibility and accountability. Through my guidance, they have learned the value of making informed choices. My firm yet compassionate approach has helped them understand the importance of discipline in achieving their goals and becoming responsible members of society.

Moreover, my dedication to my children has been unwavering. I have provided them with love, care, and support, creating a foundation of emotional security and stability. My selfless commitment to their well-being has shown them the meaning of unconditional love and nurtured their sense of self-worth. I have worked tirelessly to meet their physical, emotional, and educational needs, instilling in them a deep appreciation for hard work, dedication, and perseverance.

Lastly, I have intentionally exposed my boys to diverse experiences, broadening their horizons and enriching their lives. Through family trips to different parts of the world and engaging in various hobbies and activities, I have opened their minds to new ideas, cultures, and perspectives. These experiences have nurtured their curiosity, creativity, and sense of adventure, preparing them to become well-rounded individuals with a seasoned outlook on life.
