About Eli Rodriguez
The Tequila Baron
I’m Arthur Eli Rodriguez, co-founder of Mi Casa Tequila and a people leader in the world of AI at Tesla. My journey has been anything but ordinary. From exploring the depths of personal transformation to building a successful business, my path has always been guided by a mix of passion, adventure, and a deep connection to something greater than myself.
My work takes me from the boardrooms of Tesla to the agave fields of Mexico. Crafting tequila is not just a business for me; it’s an art form that connects me to my roots and allows me to share something truly special with the world. Traveling to Mexico several times a year to oversee production, I ensure that every bottle of Mi Casa Tequila embodies the quality, and craftsmanship that’s close to my heart.
When I’m not in the fields or distilleries, I’m working on cutting-edge projects at Tesla, helping shape the future of AI.
Beyond business, my life has been a spiritual journey. From a pivotal moment in my youth where I faced darkness head-on, I’ve learned the importance of faith and transformation. My experiences have led me to a deeper understanding of purpose, something I bring into all aspects of my life—whether it’s mentoring others, working with AI, or crafting tequila.
I’m a storyteller at heart, whether it’s through creating characters and narratives with my son or sharing the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Every bottle of Mi Casa Tequila, every project at Tesla, and every personal milestone is part of a larger story—one of growth, resilience, and the belief that we are all connected to something much greater than ourselves.
