hello world good morning this is the
founders and innovators morning show I'm
your host Joia and today I'm so
delighted to be here with Hector or who is
with us from Mexico who has a startup
that is really exciting to me because
it's all about emotional intelligence
and the idea of automating emotional
intelligence and making it accessible to
more people so Hector welcome I'm so glad
that you're here with us on the show
thank you thank you for inviting me I
guess I can show you some ideas and
please ask me whatever you want I mean
my experience might help you in
something so thank you for inviting me
so I understand that cleveo is not your
first entrepreneurial ventures so tell
us what started out as an entrepreneur
and what got you into this crazy
entrepreneurial world room
interesting so I started doing some
venture years some of them was for most
startups another was just a traditional
business another was just commercial
stuff you know I was selling earrings or
something from door-to-doors
so I just started in high school because
I knew I wanted to do something more
productive than just my time in school
or something but then I learned how to
focus on problems of the users instead
of just selling stuffs or building
something for my own benefit and that's
how I started with the start still you
know the idea of detecting a problem
getting in love not only involved with a
problem and then get a full mission to
do something to solve that problem so
that was in high school then I've been
for formal entrepreneur for four years
and yeah that's how it started no that
sounds wonderful and and I love how your
story is that you started with this idea
of falling in love with the problem
because I know for a lot of people
breaking into the entrepreneur space a
lot of times that is the big hurdle the
big disjunct a lot of people I think
start where you're where
you want to get involved with selling
they want to start making money but they
don't recognize that the best way to do
that is by doing exactly what you said
which is focusing on a problem and
falling in love with solving the problem
so tell us that more about the startup
you're working in now leave up what is
the problem there that you're working at
all cool so the main problem in Clio is
the lack of productivity due to low
emotional intelligence and automotive
ations for individuals or work teams
that's a problem what face I mean we
know people can just follow tasks they
need to I've know delivered some do days
or something but how about how you feel
to do that things we say it's not only
what do you have to get done but how you
feel to get them done so our problem I
mean our our vision is to solve that
part how do you feel
what is your emotional intelligence
based on the thing that you have to do
that's a problem so for me as a coach
emotional intelligence is something that
I think about a lot but for people in
our audience with this idea of emotional
intelligence can you just kind of
explain really quickly gonna give us
emotional intelligence 101 what is that
all about it addressing so emotional
intelligence is not a topic that I came
up with my mind there's a founder for
that if he's a psychologist in the US
and he talked about five more pillars
for emotional intelligence first is
self-awareness the thing that you need
to develop for yourself to know how do
you feel because that's how everything
works around you right why do you react
to some stimulation
how do you react how you gonna react so
getting that self-awareness gives you
more tools to the next step that is the
the other control or the self management
if you know how to how would you react
for something you know how you can
manage yourself
for positive or negative reactions right
so it's our self-awareness the second
one is self-management the everyone is
empathy
and that's with the fourth one that is
social skills because those are okay you
know about yourself but also you know
how to implement that in the in the
social life right and if you know how to
detect those emotions in yourself maybe
you are up to detect the same emotions
in the other people but if you don't you
have to have the full empathy to ask
them to know how to ask them to learn
about that people and the last one you
see if you don't know anything about
that you have to be automotivated
because there might be bad reactions bad
stimulations that's efficient in your
life but you have to keep going right so
you have self-awareness self-management
and empathy social skills but if
anything of that is going well you have
to be self-motivated as well so those
are the five pillars of emotional itself
we've learned from the new movement and
we've been working on that in our system
so now tell us more about how you go
about automating this process because it
almost sounds a little bit
counterintuitive right because we're
we're kind of talking about this
essentially intrapersonal and
interpersonal skills and now we're
talking about kind of adding this you
know AI intelligence robotic
intelligence to it so how is it that you
go about thinking about solving
emotional intelligence problems with
automation okay so as I told you I
started with the startup field the
problem of that but I also are in love
with the technology companies so I
wanted to do something known as a
consultant or I didn't want to deliver
that solution coaching I just wanted to
do it more accessible for people so I
know technology gives you that
opportunity so we will be subject or
assistant I can tell you how we go to a virtual assistant way it's cool it's a
a sad story a good story for how it's a virtual
assistant but yeah so we built a virtual
assistant first to give you that
self-awareness we have four profiles
that Clivo Clivotbot is the virtual assistant is
a chatbot way I mean you can chat with
with him in slack or whatsapp or
telegram or messenger different ways
because we know you don't have to
download another application for use it
may be with you with your team you have
your own favorite channel of
communication right now so it's a new
user right it will help you getting that
self awareness of you and your team as I
told you with four profiles the first
one is as a leader the other one is as
an operator a seller or communicator we
had those four profiles with different
psychological theories about needs
theories about social skills about
self-awareness and emotional control so
we had those tests to make you
understand your team and yourself better
so that's the the self-awareness part of
emotional feelings right
the second one is about our motivation
and Clivo
understands how are you feeling in that
situation because of the questions that
is automated there it as you how do you
feel in a scale of 1 to 10 so let's say
4 ok in which category and it gives you
different right let's say with my team
and how much available I mean how much
time you have available
ok let's say 15 minutes and it
recommends you content podcasts or
articles or I don't know videos that is
already in the cloud in the internet we
created and we recommend it in a
recommendation system as machine
learning way right so we are helping in
the motion  part for self
awareness self motivation and in the
empathy and social skills is the third
part it asks you as a team like
a stand up it's not a stand up of
comedy but it's a work stand up you know
the age of technologies
what have you been working on
what are you gonna work on right now and
what are the five years
so with that answers you can know in the
social way how is your team doing I mean
people will ask them those questions and
that will report it to you as a leader
and you can have that in empathy for for
you to know how to help them you know
the barriers you know the profiles you know
what they're consuming you know how to
help them so that's how we wanted to to
do it automatic oh I love that idea so
I'm curious then what it's like to be
like as a user of Clivbot can you can you
maybe tell us the story of you know
people users that you had and people
who've tried this out and what could
impact does it actually have on their
productivity and their ability to
actually be happy at work and do more
work cool I can I can tell you right now
the story to get to the final user okay
well first this idea came up with me as a
demotivated entrapreneur right like
four years ago I was different
ventures but my last venture it was so
challenging for the technology so I
wanted to build something me and my
partner couldn't we win some prizes but
we weren't in the market so it was like
it's a success but it's not a success
for me so we dropped out at the start
right I I was so demotivated I wanted
to drop the towel I wanted to just leave
the ventures and then I was looking
for for something to learn to be better
entrapreneur something and I was I was
doing the how to start startup course 
from YC and Stanford and it's for free
and I was I was getting that lectures and
I heard about Dustin Moskovitz you know
the founder of Asana he was talking about founder's
depression and I say what is the founder's
depression I was hearing him and he was
like okay I'm feeling that
and it was so funny because I was
hearing that story and that story was
told three years ago that I from how I
was hearing it
I want to solve that in me what is my
role I'm a start-up founder okay so I
want to help me and help the founders
with their founder's depression and I
started there we wanted to deliver
something for the founders because
building something 
something for the people but nobody is
helping them to don't drop the towel so
that was the the point right to start
with it with the founders then I was
talking to two other founders and they
told me that helps me with my team and I
said yeah with your team and they said
no it's not for my startup team I have
another kind of activity you know the
multi-level marketers the network marketers
that is so popular and that helping
people feeling productive and become
more economically productive so we knew
that that role would be benefit more
from from our our solution our business
model will be fit-able for them because
they want to motivate their teams they
want to know how to motivate them they
want to know why they're consuming how
to help them so sales force individually
or cooperative or sales in startups or
something there are our target users
because we know they do that process and
we automate that process but then we
learned that other companies in their
administrative roles or developer roles
or something they already want that
solution why now we're focusing on the
sales force because we know they need
more resilience so to speak and we just
because they're in the impact with the
customer constantly I mean I prospect
three in ten prospects and then I have
only three days and I only close with
one and I feel bad for myself so that's
what time the user is the sales force
their teams but we know another wall for
teams can use it as well I I don't know
if I answered no no that that's perfect
a sense of where you're right now
targeting as you're saying salesforce
sales teams as your users but we're
almost out of time but tell us a little
bit more about where you see the future
of
Clivo where do you want to take this
startup cool
that's a bold question I want to say
that me and my team we're so passionate
about emotional intelligence wherever it
takes us
I mean we've developed a bot based on
emotional intelligence for people with
autism a company asked for that so with
that in mind with our vision and
sales force our future is to have that
tool based on emotional intelligence for
any other lines we can we can implement
it - well right now we're focusing on
productivity but next step perhaps we
can help with mental health depression
anxiety addictions or family resolutions
or something so our vision is to create
that tool for people to become more
emotional intelligence and perform
whatever they want and achieve so tell
everybody if they're interested to find
out more about Clivo how can they find
out more and is it open can anybody
start interacting with the Clivobot
we are right now developing a bot in a
Spanish language so Hispanic people you
