As a child, I was enthralled with history and biographies. I struggled in Math and Science, but one rainy Friday, my 4th grade teacher pointed out I was good in History and my life changed at that moment. I decided that day I would major in History. So that’s what I did 9 years later, I entered university in Washington, DC to study History- a continuation of learning and analyzing people’s lives and decisions. I interned in the US Congress, at The White House, and for NGOs; and volunteered on political campaigns, and worked in the city after graduation. But moving to London to study for my Masters changed my worldview. I’ve lived in 9 countries and have found myself in a completely different arena: fashion. Over the past 6 years, I have developed an eye for couture craftsmanship, learning how to put intricate and detailed collections into words. As a result, I have developed relationships with some of the world's most leading brands, covering Paris, Milan, New York, and Riyadh Fashion Week shows. I also have a faith and lifestyle magazine, Seele that I founded. I decided to launch ‘The Soulful Side Of Life,’ an amalgamation of my experiences, where I interview people in areas that have touched my life in: fashion, faith, entertainment, music, business, and entrepreneurship. The podcast is an extension of my interests in discussing people’s stories.

Episode 24: Mexican Actor And Producer Eduardo Verástegui Talks The Type Of Men Women Should Be Pursuing And ‘The Sound Of Freedom’ Film

Janet Giachino and Ally Portee sat down, over Zoom during the Covid_19 quarantine to speak with Mexican actor, model, producer, philanthropist, businessman, and former Mexican-Kairo boyband member Eduardo Verástegui. He got his start in Mexico City as a model and actor for soap operas, later joining a boyband. His heart was into his-then definition of success: fame, women, acting and singing. After discovering and accepting Jesus for himself, Verástegui started the production company Metanoia Films, with the goal of producing films that had the potential to not only entertain but also to make a difference in society.

In 2013, Verástegui worked with top TV producer Mark Burnett to be an executive producer on the Spanish Language version of his film, Son of God. And, in 2015, Verástegui co-starred alongside Kevin James in the movie, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, and alongside Oscar-nominated actors, Emily Watson and Tom Wilkinson in the highly acclaimed movie Little Boy, which Verástegui also produced.

His film, Sound of Freedom, which he produced was supposed to hit theaters in 2020 but didn’t arrive until 2023, delves into the global issue of human trafficking through the true story of a former CIA agent.
