Show Notes

Our special guest for today is 13-year old Estrella Hernandez, the Chief Inspiration Officer of We Walk games.We Walk is a mobile app which brings gaming, walking and local culture altogether.

Here are the highlights of my discussion with Estrella:

  • The steps she took after the forming of the initial idea and how she turned it into a feasible project to work on,
  • The role of her parents played in the development of the project,
  • The doubts that crept inover the years and how she got over it,
  • About the We Walk app and how Steve Jobs inspired her during the time when she lost interest in the app,
  • How her dad, Marcos, motivated her to be passionate again, and
  • How she views the community and what motivated her to build and develop something for her own.
