Born on the Caribbean island of Aruba to Aruban and Colombian parents, Steven de Cuba was destined to be a man committed to building relationships. Island cultures tend to be really close knit and bound together by intricate relationships between individuals and families. His father was a photographer and his mother stayed home and raised Steven and his siblings but worked hard to sell all the accoutrements needed for all the quinceañeras in his Latin community.
He learned to enjoy a creative life, but also the importance of making a living. His mother's hustle taught him to think entrepreneurially. These are traits that have served him so well in his young career and have really defined who he is and the impact he wants to have in this world

THREE TAKEAWAYS FROM THE EPISODE
- You have to let your children explore so many different things in order to find the thing that brings them joy.
- You won't know the end result of your teen trying something so don't project the future on the present moment. Let them explore without expectation and success may just come sooner.
- The commitment to self-improvement starts as a small seed by just trying to learn one specific thing and it grows until it takes root in your life.
