Dario Otero is a prime example that if you put your mind to it, if invest in your future, if you truly allow yourself to believe in the IM-possible then your life will change forever.  Dario has lived his life with dyslexia and as a child lost in a blind spot within the educational system and still managed to use that to his advantage. Struggling through high school to graduate college Dario is now the CEO of YouthLens360 helping youth . Youth Lens 360 is a content creation and facilitation company empowering youth as storytellers. But perhaps among Dario’s proudest achievements lie in the accomplishments of others. More than 50 young people who have worked for Youth Lens 360 have started their own companies, now entrepreneurs themselves. The driving force for the future of Youth Lens 360 is Dario’s own unshakeable vision.
