Who To Trust with Alfredo Romero

Alfredo Romero is a traveler, activist known for his work in the “Yo Soy 132” campaign in Guadalajara, and an entrepreneur.

In this interview, Alfredo tells us how he left the United States and returned to Guadalajara, to find the city very different to when he left many years before.

He explains how he found a new business partner, transforming a restaurant into something that far exceeded local standards in gastronomy and customer service, and eventually was betrayed by his business partner.

The key challenge for Alfredo was learning how to keep an open heart despite seeing that ugly side of humanity – leading him to put his efforts into a cause far greater than himself in the protests against Mexican president Peña Nieto.
