Host - Miguel Cavalcanti
Miguel Cavalcanti was born in Rio de Janeiro, raised in Goiás countryside and now lives in Piracicaba, but he is always traveling. He is married to Leticia, with whom he has two lovely children with ages of 3 and 5 years old. During his free time, Miguel enjoys running half marathons – but he is not the fastest runner. He graduated in Agronomic Engineering and decided to work with something unusual: a mix of beef cattle consulting and Internet portal. Two opposite worlds: bits and dirt. He is also the co-host of Man in the Arena videocast, working together with Leo Kuba, who interviews Brazilian entrepreneurs, aiming to learn, talk and share experiences. The name of “Man in the Arena” originates from Roosevelt’s speech, which says that the most valuable people are the ones who fight, sacrifice themselves with the face full of dust and sweat, not the ones who watch from the audience and criticize. This is a mantra that Miguel tries to follow – to do is the most important.
