Francisco believes that the family, the State, and corporations are the three fundamental actors in society, whose interactions shape the destiny of humanity.
Francisco's professional journey includes being a part of the hosting team for the radio show "Gente Exitosa" (Successful People) on Radio Tiempo 1200 AM in Caracas, Venezuela. He later went on to host his own program, "Semillas de Cambio" (Seeds of Change), where he promoted the foundations of his signature approach, PRAGMATIC HUMANISM©.
Currently, through the International Institute of Holistic Development (IIHD), Francisco continues to promote the principles of PRAGMATIC HUMANISM©. He offers talks, dissertations, and training courses tailored for individuals, government entities, and corporations.
Francisco considers these three pillars of modern society crucial in implementing his vision for a holistic and purpose-driven approach to life.
