Welcome to the fourteenth episode of Zero to One Podcast! I am super psyched to get this message out to you today because I get the opportunity to sit down with one of my good buddies from Spain!  Axel and I had the chance to work at YMCA down in North Carolina last summer, and we instantly bonded over our passion for music. He is an incredible pianist that has devoted many years of his life to practicing and performing classical music on the piano.

In today's interview, we discuss Axel's formative years with music and how a failed attempt at playing the violin helped him further identify his love for playing the piano. We talk about some of his influences and how that inspired him to play the piano. Axel then emphasizes the value of practice and how important it is to devote a lot of time to your craft. We then discuss some of the obstacles that he has endured and how he overcame those challenges. Axel talks about some of his influencers and the role that family and friends have played in his success. Lastly, Axel talks about his biggest Zero to One moment and how important it is to have a mentor in your life.
