“If I don't quit the race, you don't quit the treatment.” Álvaro Núñez arrived in the United States at 16 on a tennis scholarship. He broke his foot, lost the scholarship, cleaned bathrooms to survive and was forced out of the country when he didn't win the visa lottery. Today he is the founder of Super Luxury Group, a company that sells properties worth up to $60 million in Miami. Along the way: his partner cheated on him, his business partner betrayed him, he spent 7 days alone in a cave in total darkness, and he rode across America by bike — 4,500 kilometers in 12 days — to keep a promise he made with his father when his father was diagnosed with cancer. Álvaro Barrera sits down with him to talk about what lies behind the success that shows up in Forbes.
