A Journey From Two Worlds to One Vision

Every movement begins with a decision. For Edwin Jr. Olán and Ángela Gongora, the decision to redefine success — from chasing titles to creating freedom — became the foundation of a global mission that now inspires thousands.

Edwin, a mechanical engineer from Puerto Rico working for Michelin in South Carolina USA, seemed to have everything a successful career could offer — stability, benefits, and prestige. Yet, the more he advanced, the more confined he felt. Each time he had to “ask for permission” to attend important family moments, the cost of success became clearer. He realized that climbing the corporate ladder wasn’t the same as achieving freedom.

Ángela’s path was different but driven by the same longing. A dentist and restaurant owner, she was ambitious, disciplined, and passionate about helping others. However, her traditional career and business left her drained and disconnected from her purpose. When she discovered a business model rooted in purpose — one that brings together wellness, leadership, and community, she saw a path that could combine freedom, contribution, and growth.

Her results spoke louder than any argument. Edwin, once skeptical about the business model, saw her thrive — traveling, growing, and earning income on her own terms. That was the turning point. Together, they began from zero, without experience or resources, but with a clear vision: to create a business that empowers others to live freely — physically, financially, and emotionally.

Their journey led to the creation of the Xion International Team, a community of entrepreneurs committed to transforming their lives and helping others do the same. Today, they lead teams across multiple countries, mentor thousands of people, and continue to live by their mission: helping others achieve True Freedom.

Through their organization, Edwin and Ángela have also had the opportunity to travel to more than 20 countries, supporting various charitable causes each year together with their team. These experiences have deepened their commitment to creating a global impact and reminded them that true freedom gains its greatest meaning when it is shared with others.

Adapting and Innovating in a Changing Industry

Long-term success in entrepreneurship demands more than hard work — it requires evolution. For Edwin and Ángela, innovation begins with awareness, simplicity, and authentic human connection.

Their approach focuses on transformation over information. They’ve built duplicable systems that are simple, emotionally intelligent, and service-centered — allowing anyone, anywhere, to grow.

One of their strongest tools for adaptation is social media. Platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube have become vehicles for connection rather than promotion. By sharing stories, insights, and value-driven content, they demonstrate that freedom is accessible to anyone willing to learn and lead with authenticity.

Their digital strategy is intentionally simple — 100% duplicable — empowering their teams to replicate it using just a smartphone and genuine communication.

In addition to digital innovation, they invest heavily in personal growth and leadership development. Influenced by mentors like Edison Ortiz, Natalia Ponce, Eric and Marina Worre, Tony Robbins, Tatiana Arias and John C. Maxwell, they help their teams build both mindset and skillset. This balance of technology and human connection allows their organization to remain adaptable in a rapidly changing world.

In 2024, Edwin Jr. Olán had the honor of serving as a panelist at the Go Pro Xperience 2024, one of the most recognized events in the Network Marketing and Direct Selling industry created by Eric and Marina Worre. Sharing insights alongside global leaders marked a significant milestone in his journey and reflected the growth, leadership, and vision that continue to define his work.

For them, this business model isn’t just only about profits— it’s about building a movement. Their mission continues to inspire people globally to pursue financial independence, physical wellness, and emotional balance.

A Global Movement of Purpose

Today, the Xion International Team movement continues to attract purpose-driven entrepreneurs who want to design a life of impact, wellness, and freedom. Through mentorship, digital education, and community leadership, Edwin and Ángela are proving that anyone — regardless of background — can build a business that aligns with their values and vision for life.

Thousands of people across Latin America, the United States, and Europe have already transformed their lives through their mentorship — from teachers and engineers to young digital entrepreneurs — all finding new meaning in the word freedom.

The Core Values Behind Every Decision

Every successful organization is grounded in values. For Edwin and Ángela, three principles define their leadership: Freedom, Contribution, and Integrity.

Freedom is the foundation of everything they do. It represents not just financial independence, but the ability to live life on one’s own terms — to spend meaningful time with family, travel freely, and make choices guided by purpose rather than pressure.

Contribution adds depth to that freedom. They believe that success gains meaning only when it helps others. Through their mentorship, they focus on empowering people to transform their mindset, health, and future — proving that impact matters more than income.

Integrity is non-negotiable. They teach only what they live and lead by example, building trust across diverse cultures and communities. Authenticity, they believe, is the true foundation of sustainable success.

These values are not theoretical. They guide how Edwin and Ángela train teams, develop leaders, and connect with individuals around the world. Every action is rooted in a single goal: helping others become the best version of themselves — free, fulfilled, and capable of leading others with the same heart-centered approach.

Redefining Success and Measuring True Impact

For Edwin and Ángela, success extends far beyond financial results. Their true measure of achievement lies in transformation — the lives changed through their work.

They define success through stories, not statistics. Whether it’s a single mother rebuilding confidence, a young professional reigniting lost dreams, or a couple creating a shared legacy, these transformations are what drive their purpose.

Their mission is clear: to help people live with more freedom, health, and meaning, and to multiply that impact through every person they empower. This ripple effect continues to expand globally as their community grows — proving that business can be both profitable and profoundly human.

As they often say, freedom is not just a destination; it’s a lifestyle built on courage, consistency, and connection. Through their leadership and example, Edwin and Ángela are demonstrating what’s possible when passion meets purpose.
