Who I am

My name is Gustavo Varela; you can call me Gus! I am a husband to Jemi for 6 years and a father of two boys Lucas and Elian.

 

I am a career coach and engaging speaker with over a decade of experience helping Gen Z find careers they love and helping them excel in them. Over the years, I’ve guided more than 200 individuals through career discovery, transition, and growth.

 

I know what it feels like to feel lost. I spent thousands of dollars, years of effort, and so much energy without a clear sense of direction. That’s why I do what I do—because I want to be the guide, I wish I had during those years.

What I Do

As a Career Coach & Speaker I help students, young professionals, and career changers discover who they are, what they’re meant to do, and how to build meaningful careers.

 

My approach combines practical tools with inspiring stories, giving people the clarity and confidence to move forward. Whether you feel stuck, unsure of your next step, or simply want to love what you do, I’ll help you navigate the process with purpose and direction.

Why it matters

Your career isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. You deserve towake up excited about the work you do and confident about the future you’re building. You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Let's replace your:

 - Confusion with clarity. 

 - Anxiety with ambition. 

 - Worries with a winning plan & mindset
