At only 17 years old
, Frank found himself at the Ezeiza International Airport holding his suitcases tightly, which
carried the memories of an entire life
.
With a mix of emotions, he said goodbye to his loved ones and
boarded a plane to a distant destination
.
“I come from a lower class family and
everything I do is for them,
” says Frank Gaudio in an interview with
Clarín
.
The
28-year
-old young man - originally from the
Province of Córdoba
-
made the decision to emigrate to the United States in 2013
, with the aim of helping his mother financially and fulfilling his dream of being an entrepreneur.
That day,
he left his country with only $200 in his wallet
.
What he was not going to imagine was that
life was going to surprise him in this way
.
From Córdoba to Miami
The protagonist of this story was born in Long Island City,
United States
.
However, when he was four years old,
his parents chose to move to the Province of Córdoba, Argentina
, where they came from.
The young man
grew up in a lower class family
, which always struggled to get ahead, which is why years later,
he would make a radical decision
.
“Since I was little, I always had the idea of living abroad to provide financial support for my mother.
She is my number one priority
,” Frank clarifies.

In his adolescence,
he attended high school in Córdoba Capital
.
Although, she lived with the constant thought of “trying her luck” in the
United States
, a country that he could easily access since
he has North American nationality
.
For this reason,
he did not finish his studies and in 2013
,
he left Argentina
in his last year of school, with many expectations.
Despite this, the road was not easy, according to his words.
In September 2013, she arrived in the land of opportunity with just $200
in his pocket.
In the
State of Tennessee
, an American friend of his named Darren was waiting for him, who accommodated him and welcomed him with open arms.
Once he settled down, he got to work to get a job that would allow him to survive.
He got a job as a construction worker
and then as a waiter in a restaurant, but
there was an impediment that hurt him and cost him his income
: the language.
“
Not knowing English was a big obstacle
, especially living in a state as conservative as Tennessee.
There, it is the only language spoken, unlike Miami or Los Angeles where Spanish is mostly spoken,” explains the businessman.

“Because of this, I was kicked out of four different restaurants for taking food orders wrong.
However,
I got other jobs
, I learned in practice and
today, I have a fluent level of the language
,” adds Frank.
After a while, he studied and
obtained his real estate agent's license
to have a guaranteed occupation in the real estate sector in the future, according to him.
A few years later,
in 2019
, he decided to travel to Switzerland and
took a course at a globally recognized academy
called “PhiAcademy”, with the purpose of becoming a professional tattoo artist.
Upon completion, he began his path as an entrepreneur:
he rented a business and set up a beauty center in Zurich, Switzerland
.
Thus, he learned as he went and managed everything from customer service to the sale of services through social networks.
That trip was a before and after in his life
, according to his words.
Through which, he was able to dedicate himself to what he was truly passionate about:
business
.
“
It was a success
, it had generated a community of clients who were delighted with the venture,” explains Frank with emotion.

In
2022
,
he prepared to return to the United States
with one wish in mind: to work with social networks in the sales field and
manage his own schedules
.
In this way, he arrived at the
State of Miami
and began
a project that would allow him to fulfill his dreams.
Your life in the land of opportunities
During his stay in the Central European country,
he ventured into digital platforms
to document his daily life, with the intention of
encouraging people
to encourage themselves and achieve their goals.
Frank gained popularity on his personal account and had the opportunity to generate income from it.
Upon arriving in Miami
, he continued to monetize and
created a digital business training and selling products, which grew at abrupt levels
.
Therefore,
it was able to hire 15 employees with whom it carries out digital commerce
.
The purpose of the academy is to help people
invoice in dollars using their computer
and editing videos or scaling their digital businesses with the tools they provide.
He works 100% on social networks, where
he has more than 100 thousand followers on Instagram
and accumulates thousands of
“likes”
and comments from different users throughout the cosmos.

"My mother was the first and last person who
trusted me
and I will always thank her.
Without her, none of this would have been possible
," Frank states with emotion.
Thanks to his success,
the Argentine was able to travel the world
and visit various destinations.
Some of them were:
Greece, Turkey, Rome, Barcelona, Iceland, Canada, the United States and Mexico
.
“I arrived in this country without knowing a lick of English and
I ended up achieving what I thought was impossible
,” says the young man.
After so many years of effort and dedication,
he was able to give his mother the financial peace of mind she longed for
and discover different destinations by choosing her own work schedules.
“I made a lot of sacrifices to get here,
It was not a simple task, but
it was worth it
,” Frank happily comments from his new home.
