BRUCE DA SILVA

Reject ignorance. Embrace wisdom. Liberate others from mental slavery to true freedom.

About

Youngest of four to Brazilian immigrant parents. We had love, not stability. I’ve seen divorce, homelessness, and my own brush with addiction. I lost friends, relationships, and jobs to weed and alcohol. I stared down self-harm and walked back. That forged a bias for truth over comfort.

Degrees in Economics (University of Tampa) and an MA in Conflict Resolution & Mediation (Tel Aviv University). I lived in Morocco working alongside the Peace Corps, built momentum in DC, and now operate from Los Angeles. I read widely — psychology, history, philosophy, business, fiction — and turn the best ideas into daily practice.

  • What lies am I living that I’d stop if I had the courage to face them?
  • What would it look like to train strength and compassion, every day?
  • Where am I choosing comfort over truth — and what is the cost?
