Welcome to Episode 186 of the Salsa Kings LIVE podcast
We have been featured as #1 in “Top 10 Salsa Podcasts” on FeedSpot.
Hey familia! It’s Andres Fernandez here, welcome back to Episode 186 of the podcast. Today’s talk is all about one thing: Silencio Bruno. If you’ve seen the Disney movie Luca, you know the phrase. It means to quiet the voice in your head that’s scared, doubtful, or negative.
This episode is about how powerful your thoughts are and how you can train your mind to support your goals—on the dance floor, in your job, and in life.
🔑 Key Points
🔇 What “Silencio Bruno” Means
- In Luca, one character tells the other to say Silencio Bruno! to shut up the voice that brings fear.
- We all have that voice. It’s normal. But we have to choose not to listen to it.
- At Salsa Kings, “Silencio Bruno” is part of our culture—it helps us fight fear and keep growing.
🧠 Power of the Mind
- If you say something out loud, your brain believes it—even if it’s not true.
- Saying things like “I’m not good enough” makes your brain believe it.
- Your brain is in your head. It’s dark in there. It can’t see the outside world.
- So when you speak, you’re telling your brain what reality is. Be careful with your words.
🌱 Perspective Shapes Your Life
- Two people can see the same dancer—one feels jealous, the other feels inspired. Same view, different lens.
- How we choose to see things changes how we feel.
- Ask yourself: Am I on my own team? Am I helping myself grow or holding myself back?
😣 Fear of Losing Slows You Down
- Many people don’t try because they don’t want to lose.
- But losing is how you grow. Repetition is the mother of all learning.
- Don’t let your ego stop you from learning something new.
- If you’re afraid to lose, you’ll never win.
📱 Don’t Fall for Clickbait Culture
- Life is not like social media—quick wins, going viral, fast success.
- That’s not real. That’s not how growth works.
- True growth takes time, effort, and patience.
- If it grows fast, it usually falls fast too.
🎂 Andres’ Personal Story
- I started Salsa Kings when I was 19. Now I’m about to turn 37.
- There were hard nights. I wanted faster results. But I wasn’t ready yet.
- I had to learn, stay humble, and keep going.
- Now I’m thankful for every tough moment. They made me stronger.
🔁 Shift the Lens
- Every experience—even bad ones—can teach us something if we’re willing to learn.
- If you don’t like what you see, change the lens you’re using.
- You’re not stuck. You’re just looking at it the wrong way.
- Every experience—even bad ones—can teach us something if we’re willing to learn.
