About THE POWER OF PAIN
About the Author
Ivan D. Lozada is a resilience expert, entrepreneur, and advocate for freedom who transformed his own painful journey of political exile into a mission of empowerment. Born and raised in Venezuela, Ivan served as a military lieutenant before being forced to flee his homeland in 2005 after surviving an assassination attempt when a bomb destroyed his car.
Arriving in the United States with little more than determination and hope, Ivan rebuilt his life while maintaining his commitment to truth and freedom. He is the founder of DolarToday, a digital platform that provides Venezuelans with accurate financial information despite government censorship. His work has helped countless citizens navigate economic uncertainty in the face of hyperinflation and political oppression.
Drawing from his personal experience of transforming adversity into purpose, Ivan has dedicated himself to helping others discover the hidden strength within their suffering. He speaks internationally on resilience, political freedom, and the power of purpose-driven transformation. Ivan currently lives in Alabama, where he continues to advocate for democracy in Venezuela while building communities of resilience across borders.
