In this episode, Rob and Ileana are thrilled to be joined by one of the original founders in the first generation of the modern day Mexican entrepreneurial economy, Jennifer Reyna, CEO/Co-founder of OkBoy! OkBoy is building a new platform transforming the category of "Home Services" both for consumers and the tens of thousands of small business (PYME) local providers in the "home services" market across Mexico. This episode is about much more than this company though, as we learn Jenny's story as a founder, as a proud Mexicana and as a mother. Jenny's story spans the last 10 years of entrepreneurship in Mexico, as she has built multiple companies from $0 to plus revenue, raised venture capital, and been a well known founder across media and the industry in LatAms. Jenny shares her stories of resilience, "failures" and triumphs building companies Gaszen, DadBox and now OKBoy. She shares inspiration and practical advice for women founders but also for founders of any type. She's a big dreamer, with the talent and skill of an experienced operator. Prior to her leadership of OKBoy, Jenny created companies focused on impact in the agriculture, energy, and health industries. She has planted cactuses; brought to life a 100% IoT product made in Mexico that sold in 4 different countries; raised capital from angels, national and international venture funds and she's taken teams from 0 to sales in two different companies. Jenny was previously CSO at DadBox, CO-founder of Gaszen, one of Mexico's earliest success stories. She lives in Leon, Guanajuato, is a graduate of Tec De Monterrey, a Latitud Fellow and most importantly a loving mother to her son.

She sat down with @stylingsocialjustice and shared how she got where she is, stories of her late parents and military father, why she feels so passionate about reaching out to kids in schools and partnering with the @crimestoppersofhouston Safe School Institute and what her message is for those who dream big. From beauty, to social media to simply walking around the mall, we covered a lot with this Houston gem! Thank you for stopping by SSJ Jennifer!”
