Hello World :)
Who am I? & Why am I doing this?
This first blog is just a small introduction to who I am.
My Name is Mario Guraieb Mantecon. I am a 23-year-old (as of this writing) from Mexico with Spanish and Lebanese roots. Raised across London, Bahrain, and Dubai. I studied a dual degree in business administration and data analytics from IE University in Madrid, and I just graduated (2025). Aside from these places, I have also lived in Melbourne, Boston, Miami, and New York (>4 months each).
Okay now that you have my short bio.
I will be writing about my passions, which are currently (in no particular order):
BJJ
Boxing
Sales
Fitness
Longevity
Biohacking
Reading
Modern Philosophy
Surfing
But honestly, I will write about whatever I feel like writing about/ sharing that may be of value to my future self, a friend, or a stranger.
I believe I have a uniquely curated perspective on the world that to a mixture of my personality, how I have grown up, and how my surroundings have shaped my worldview. I will talk more about this later. THE IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE IS THAT THIS IS ESSENTIALLY THE INSPIRATION BEHIND ME WRITING THIS BLOG.
That, ultimately, something I hold of value, is my uniquely curated perspective. This is a test of that hypothesis. We will find out or not :)
On top of this, I have an innate ability to communicate my thoughts and ideas to people of all walks of life. Another hypothesis that I shall test through this creation.
