Born in the Dominican Republic, Julian Alcantara is Valentus’ first Spanish-speaking Diamond.
After University, and his degree in accounting, he realized very quickly the difference between fixed and variable income. Initially he concentrated on the commercial area and worked as a sales consultant with multinationals with great results.
In 2005, he traveled to Spain in search of a better lifestyle. He started from scratch, as a store assistant and then moved on to work in the commercial area until he became a manager in his last company. In 2010, he completely lost financial control, lost his home, lost his savings and he was finished, totally in debt.
When a friend introduced him to network marketing, Julian knew that this was a business model that met his needs.
“I was broke and willing to go anywhere, but I did not want to return to my country with the feeling of failure. Network marketing was the perfect solution to get out of the quagmire where I was immersed financially and emotionally.
Network marketing gave me back the dream of dreaming.”
Julian commented:
In my first two years in the industry I did not have great results, but they served to teach me and build my belief in the business

I have recently been appointed as an executive advisor to (Digital SkyNet’s) ‘Ormeus’ subsidiary and the newly formed strategic joint venture company owned by ORGANO and Digital SkyNet.
Founder – advisor John Barksdale of Ormeus has unfortunately an history of collapsed crypto deals and this is a new attempt.
Barksdale and Buggs currently recruit top leaders on / for the USA market.

English Translation
Al crecer en una humilde granja en Honduras, José Ardón fue testigo de muchas cosas cuando era niño. Vio como sus padres trabajaban interminables horas para ganar apenas el dinero suficiente para poner comida en la mesa. Fue testigo de la desigualdad y la pobreza extrema en su tierra natal. Escuchó innumerables historias de cuánto mejor sería la vida si vivieran en Estados Unidos.
América, la tierra de las oportunidades, hogar del gran sueño americano. Noche tras noche, las historias de prosperidad estaban presentes en su mente. Era difícil para un niño tan pequeño imaginarse que un lugar tan diferente del suyo podía existir, pero si existía, se prometería así mismo que algún día llegaría ahí. Entonces, en lugar de detenerse por lo que no tenía, José lo utilizó para alimentar su determinación por una vida mejor: perseguir el sueño americano.
A partir de los 11 años, José trabajó para lograr una vida donde los límites no estén determinados por las circunstancias en que nacemos, sino por nuestra pasión, habilidades y aspiraciones personales. Sabía que para cambiar su vida y, lo que es más importante aún, la vida de su familia, necesitaba hacer su sueño realidad de llegar a los Estados
