Show Notes

In this powerful episode of Battle Ready, host Rickey Chavez sits down with Jose Pereira, a seasoned executive with over 35 years of leadership experience and former CEO of Citgo Petroleum, to share a story that redefines resilience, faith, and true leadership under pressure.

Jose recounts the life-altering moment when a routine business trip to Venezuela ended in his abduction and nearly five years of captivity as an international hostage. Stripped of freedom, status, and comfort, Jose endured solitary confinement, extreme deprivation, and profound uncertainty yet discovered an unbreakable inner strength forged through faith, reflection, and purpose.
