Filed Under:
He remembers meeting a young girl (she was 17) who was on her way to a hospital to have her eyes extracted. That story had a powerful impact on him and reminded him how important self-esteem is.
In this very short interview (with below average sound), Andreas Heinecke shares with Global X a piece of advice: "Remain humble while you work for the others. It's not about being a star. It's about them!"

Taffy Adler works in Johannesburg, a city often described as one of the most dangerous places to work in the world, but he has been able to get the trust from the community by giving its people the right opportunities to help them grow.
He shares two pieces of advice with Global X: "First, stay focused! Don't get distracted. Second, it's hard to argue with success, so plan to launch a successful organization, and other things will come to you."
