"I have zero regret. Of no kind."
That's what Gerardo Pérez told me on the latest Space Whispering episode. And he didn't say it from ego. He said it from someone who almost died at 20 and decided time was the only currency that mattered.
At 25, Gerardo designed a 32-story tower in Piantini—the kind of project most architects dream about their whole career. And then he walked away. Sold his car. Gave away his clothes. Became a backpacker for a year and a half.
Why? Because he knew he didn't deserve that project ‘yet’. It was luck, not mastery. And he refused to let a stroke of luck define his life.
Gerardo lives like life is temporary. Because it is. And that doesn't scare him—it frees him.

About Guest:
Gerardo Pérez is an architect, entrepreneur, author, and professional adventurer. At 25, he closed his business, threw on a backpack, and traveled to over 20 countries—coming back with the certainty that he didn’t want a normal life. He wanted one designed by him.
Today, he’s the CEO of Luxia Labs, one of the Dominican Republic’s leading architecture firms, and a partner at Travieso Capital Partners, developing tourism and residential projects. He’s also a life coach, hosts two podcasts, and is about to publish his first novel—a raw exploration of psychology, drama, and human duality.
Gerardo lives with purpose, but never forgets the flow. He surfs, reads obsessively, loves philosophy, and says out loud what most people only dare to think in silence.
A short Musing:
