Connected Leaders Academy

What if fear wasn’t the enemy, but the doorway?

In this empowering session, Frankie Macias shares his transformative journey from his hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico, to becoming a successful entrepreneur in the United States. At just 17, he arrived in a new country, barely speaking the language, and set out to build a life from the ground up. After earning a degree in electronics and working 20 years in corporate America, Frankie did the unthinkable—he walked away from stability to build his own business alongside his wife, Bold Impression Media.

Through personal stories, humor, and raw honesty, Frankie reveals how fear sometimes tried to keep him small and how choosing faith, vision, and action helped him rise above it.

This talk is for dreamers, doers, and those stuck at the edge of “what if.” You’ll walk away with practical mindset shifts, inspiration to chase your passion, and the courage to create your own version of success, no matter your starting point.

Frankie Macias is the co-founder of Bold Impression Media, a strategic branding agency helping businesses elevate their impact through photography, videography, and visual storytelling. Born and raised in Mexico, Frankie immigrated to the U.S. at 17, earned a degree in electronics, and climbed the corporate ladder for two decades. But it was his passion for creative storytelling and bold decision-making that led him to entrepreneurship.

Known for his warm energy and relentless optimism, Frankie now helps business owners overcome fear, embrace their identity, and grow with confidence. He is currently authoring a book about his life journey—proof that mindset and grit can turn any challenge into an opportunity.
