Some conversations stay with you long after the recording stops. This was one of them. 🎙️ For the latest episode of Miami Luxury Insiders, I sat down with Carla Cid de Diego and what started as a conversation about art and marketing became one of the most powerful stories I've ever had the honor of sharing. Carla grew up in a world few of us could imagine: her grandfather was Salvador Dalí's personal lawyer, and her father was a world-renowned sculptor who learned at Dalí's side. She went on to build a remarkable career fashion at FIT, costume design for the Florida Grand Opera, her own art-meets-fashion brand, and Zenith Art & Fashion, one of Miami's most iconic art and event spaces. Then life changed everything. Carla opens up — with incredible honesty about losing both her parents within months, surviving an abusive marriage, and climbing out of half a million dollars in debt with no safety net. And how, from that lowest point, she rebuilt herself completely. Today she leads THEFLOWSTASHON XTRM and the Club STASHON X, built on a simple but radical idea in a city like Miami: that real human connection matters more than titles, money, or image. Her mother left her a phrase that now guides every decision she makes the "Manifesto of the 1,000 Lives." It moved me, and I think it'll move you too. If you've ever felt like you were starting from below zero, this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen to the full episode now What's a moment of connection that changed your life? I'd love to hear it. #MiamiLuxuryInsiders #Entrepreneurship #Resilience #Miami #ArtAndFashion #Leadership #Podcast #HumanConnection
