    ​Myself.

    I am Alexander (Xander) Clemens. I specialize in Tech Sales and I am Chief Encouragement Officer. I preach the positive mindset, embrace the suck and see the "GOOD" in everything emulated from the thoughts and leadership of Jocko Willink. 


    I believe in the thoughtful sharing of experiences and value in connecting with other travelers, health enthusiasts, business owners, and others on this life journey who also enjoy learning from others.


    My website is my documentation of personal and professional projects throughout my life. I'm based out of Santa Rosa de Cabal, Colombia🇨🇴 with my wife.

    I am Alexander (Xander) Clemens and I am a Chief Encouragement Officer. I aim to document and share my lifestyle and experiences throughout my life that bring value to travelers, health enthusiasts, business owners, and souls that enjoy learning from others who are people worth watching. 


    I specialize in hosting and creating authentic, genuine, and honest conversations. I help my guests reach more people from my video conversations to share their messages with the world. 

     

    These conversations can start ideas, movements, businesses, habit changes, a shift in how one views life, and hearing from others authentically is a powerful means of connecting.
