I’m an artist, writer and small business coach.

For the last 20 years, my work has focused on helping entrepreneurs like you to start and grow profitable businesses. As an entrepreneur myself, I know how hard this road can be. And— though here there be dragons—my job is to help you navigate the terrain safely and get you to your destination in less time.

That said, if you’re looking for a more traditional bio, you might want to check out the following:

Danilo Vargas is the architect of STRIVE305, Miami-Dade County’s small business program and a key component of Mayor Daniella Levine Cava’s Future Ready economic development strategy. As part of the Mayor’s economic development team, Danilo helped more than 10,000 entrepreneurs countywide start and grow their businesses.

Prior to working in the Mayor’s Office, Danilo was the director of Accelerate South Dade, a small business and nonprofit incubator in Cutler Bay, FL. He’s also worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs throughout Latin America.

When not helping small business owners succeed, Danilo serves as the board chair for Bridge To Hope, a Miami-based nonprofit focused on fighting hunger and food insecurity in the region.

To relax, Danilo loves spending time with his family, running marathons, reading, writing, and traveling cross-country on his motorcycle.
