About this listen

Juliano Rosetti thought he had made it—twice.

At the age of 14, he watched his family lose everything overnight. He fought hard to support his family, becoming a successful club DJ while simultaneously working at a bank in Brazil. But then, a few years later, everything was gone again.

With only $2,500 and a small grasp of the English language, Juliano booked a one-way ticket to New York. His journey is an incredible testament to resilience, fueled by the kindness of strangers and the power of a passion he found unexpectedly.

In this emotional episode, we follow Juliano's move from a sleepless kid sleeping on a pile of newspapers to a thriving business owner. We also catch up on his present-day update: how a global storm forced him to face a third devastating loss that eerily mirrored his father's—and how he's finding his way back through the music that saved him before.

Listen now to hear how losing everything twice led to the ultimate American Dream.
