I'm not a financial advisor; nothing I write in Superpowers for Good should be considered investment advice. You should seek appropriate counsel before making investment decisions.Remember, you can watch the Superpowers for Good show on e360tv. To watch the episode, download the #e360tv channel app to your streaming device–Roku, AppleTV or AmazonFireTV–or your mobile device. You can even watch it on the web or YouTube.When you purchase an item, launch a crowdfunding campaign or invest after clicking a link here, we may earn a commission. It's an easy way to support our work.Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Irma: My superpower is to be a humble person.Irma Sanchez, the founder of Accesso Capital Fund, is sponsored by Coca-Cola to help educate Latina entrepreneurs like herself on raising capital with regulated investment crowdfunding. There are 2.3 million Latina-owned businesses in the United States; about 18 percent of Hispanic women run their own businesses. According to one source, they are 50 times more likely to start a business than average Americans.Irma partners with the Latin American Association in Atlanta. She works with Bill Huston, a nationally recognized crowdfunding expert, to help train women to use crowdfunding. The strategy is unfamiliar in that community, but they are excited to make progress.She also uses her regular role as a commentator on Telemundo to share the message. “It is an honor, as a Latina and a migrant, to be the voice of the voiceless on a television channel that reaches the world. We wanted to use this Telemundo platform to change lives transform lives. We can do it through education in a massive way through Telemundo.”In a moment that demonstrated her humility, she generously shared her personal history:I want to be a story of inspiration for many women who are listening and watching me right now; if I could do it, anyone can do it. I come from Bolivia; I was born in Bolivia. I grew up in Venezuela and migrated here to the United States. However, my life as a child was traumatic. That is why I have been on a mission to make educational programs to support women entrepreneurs for 15 years. I have been an entrepreneur since I was a child. When I came home one day, my dad and sister had passed away, and it was a real shock to my mother and me. Imagine how my mother was at that moment and how I was. Then, my mom, over the course of time, taught me how to be an entrepreneur. She also passed away. Today, I am very grateful to my family for leaving me a great legacy, which I want to pass on to my community. I started to sell empanadas. I started to sell shoes. I started to sell chocolates. I started to sell whatever my mother put in my way. That has helped me to be a humble person now, a person who can work as a team. When you are alone, when you feel alone, there is no other option but to say, ”OK, let's get together. Let's see how my strengths can help you, and you can help me with my weaknesses.”In other words, I believe 100 percent in teamwork, and that's why I believe 100 percent in crowdfunding: we can help each other grow our businesses.Irma's rallying cry to her peers is that together, they are unstoppable. “We are one of the fastest-growing economic groups in the world. However, we are receiving less than 1 percent of venture capital. This is the moment to unite and say, ‘We are going to move forward together.'”AI Episode Summary1.

Irma is also working with Acceso Capital Fund to create innovative programs using artificial intelligence and industry leaders in Crowdfunding, like Bill Houston, to generate capital for the Hispanic community.5. Much of Irma's work is directed toward empowering Latina women. She collaborates with leaders, including Mónica Cucalón from the Latin American Association and directors from Telemundo, to further educate and support Latino businesses through media and programs.6.

Share it!How to Develop Humility As a SuperpowerIrma explains how humility is essential to her work. “We have to be humble; we have to be able to feel other people's pain, to be able to understand other people. I think that is what my life has taught me, not only to be a humble person but to be able to serve my community in the best way, wherever I am.”She has traveled the world, often to speak at conferences. She still sees her vital mission as listening to her community to see what they need and how she can meet their needs.Irma invokes her own experience with faith when asked for tips to develop humility. “I have done it through my belief. I believe in God. I connect to divinity, and I pray every morning that it gives me the tools to understand people in terms of their projects and dreams.”By following Irma's example and advice, you can strengthen your humility. With practice, it could become a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Ana Flores is Houston-born, El Salvador-raised. She's worked in television production for Univision, MTV Latin America and other Spanish-language networks for 15 years before becoming a stay-at-home mom. When her husband was out of work and the cost of childcare became too expensive in 2009, she and a friend launched SpanglishBaby, a blog for parents raising bilingual and bicultural kids. Within a year, Flores was able to monetize blog posts for about $40 and found herself building “a small community” with fellow ambitious Latina bloggers. Soon she was actively pitching ideas to brands, connecting them with the 25-30 Latina bloggers and influencers from her online community. “And that's what became Latina Bloggers Connect in 2010, with no money, with no resources,” Flores told TODAY. “I saw a path — a support system of people that were willing to open doors for each other.” Six years later, Flores rebranded Latina Blogger Connect as #WeAllGrow Latina, a Latina-owned, self-funded website that elevates the voices of Latinas and provides them with the resources — and inspiration — they need to succeed. “We really make it a point to hire within our community, because that is how we build socio and economic power,” Vanessa Santos — who joined #WeAllGrow as a partner and co-CEO in December 2021 — told TODAY. Flores and Santos believe that to see one woman grow doesn't mean that it's going to take away an opportunity for another. Championing “amigahood,” or sisterhood, their website has exceeded 20,000 subscribers, or “amiga members." The free online community is available for English or Spanish-speaking Latinas and offers original content, mentorship, wellness sessions, resources, connections, access to virtual and in-person events like the annual #WeAllGrow Summit, plus exclusive perks created to support entrepreneurs, creatives and professionals. Through their digital platform and in-person events, #WeAllGrow is helping Latinas turn their ideas into realities. Las Founders was founded in 2022 is the Los Angeles-held event for entrepreneurs sold out and had over 400 attendees taking in panels and conversations with Latina entrepreneurs about how they got their start. In September 2022, the organization hosted the sixth annual #WeAllGrow Summit. The first summit was held in 2015 and focused on content creation and networking. As the years went by, it's become bigger and more interactive, with Forbes including it as one of 19 Conferences Every Creative Should Attend in 2018 and 2019. This year's sold-out event, held in Palm Desert, California, welcomed over 600 attendees ready to “heal, commune and grow” — which also happen to be the organization's three pillars. In 2023, Las Founders will be a two-day event in October.

Sometimes, the best way to handle our shit and deal with our insecurities and doubts about what we can do or where we belong as Latinas is as simple as showing up. In another flashback from the vault this week, I revisit the interviews with Azucena Maldonado, the golf Queen, and Danay Escanaverino. Azucena, an immigrant from northern Mexico, inspired a movement that has taken over the world of golf. She noticed the lack of feminine presence in the sport and decided to change the sport's landscape, getting involved and creating opportunities for Latinas that transcended the sport. She opened the doors and inspired thousands of badass Latinas to get involved in golf. She is the Founder and CEO of LGA, the Latinas Golfers Association, which has over 2,000 members.Danay is a Cuban immigrant, a Latina Entrepreneurs speaker, CEO and founder of LunaSol Media, and founder of LatinaMeetup. She was responsible for developing an integrated marketing plan to combine a suite of merged brands for a large interactive marketing agency and break into the online Hispanic and Latino markets.Throughout our conversation, we learn about Azucena's experiences joining a male-dominated sport and discovering the opportunities she could provide for women in the space, not only as golfers but also as businesswomen and entrepreneurs. Danay shared details of her unique career path and her voracious drive to learn new things that drove her into the tech marketing space. That road would open countless doors for her professional development and teach her everything she needed to learn to become an entrepreneur.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with President and CEO of Latino Corporate Directors Association (LCDA), Esther Aguilera. We talked about her humble beginnings as the child of immigrants and the very important work she's doing empowering and training the next generation of Latinos in the corporate world. "I think it was certainly college, like for many of us, was a pivot point…I felt very self-conscience about my accent and so many different things that I felt like the odd one out. But…when you put yourself in new or challenging roles or things where you might be outside your comfort level, I think that's where we grow the most. We're sponges, we absorb, we adapt. And I think that's a great quality for Latinas and Latinos." Watch and listen to all podcast episodes here: https://linktr.ee/anjelica_cazares

Valeria Aloe, a native of Argentina, founder of Abundancia Consciente, and author of Uncolonized Latinas, discusses why she started her global business, how the right mindset fuels opportunities for Latina entrepreneurs, and what can be done to encourage more Latina entrepreneurs to start and run global businesses.

She is a 20-year tech veteran who worked her way up the corporate ladder within Silicon Valley from humble beginnings in Fresno, CA. Today, she is also the creator and host of the popular podcast 'Latinas: from the Block to the Boardroom.' I was excited to speak with Theresa on this episode of the Latina Leadership Series.

Mayra Alejandra is a financial coach who is passionate about teaching Latinas how to grow their net worth and become Debt-Free Latinas! Her podcast by the name 'Debt-Free Latina' inspires and motivates listeners to pursue their financial goals and be wise with their money. On this episode she joins me for a very interesting conversation about our relationship with money!

It's exciting to be that brand or company that EVERYBODY loves. I mean who wouldn't want that kind of star power? Who wouldn't want to be the next Walmart, Facebook or Nike where we can serve any and everybody, right? I mean, they say Facebook has over a billion users. Wouldn't we all love to be in that situation, where millions of people are all excited about and using our products or services. Right? But hold on, slow down. That old saying, everything ain't for everybody holds a lot of truth. Trying to be all things to everybody is the quickest way to burn out and not being effectively able to serve anybody. And if you are that brand, kudos to you! This episode is not for you. But you can still listen. There's always a business lesson in everything I do. Being a serial entrepreneur (because you know I always have a few companies running) I had to learn how to make sure I was targeting the right people.  I don't want this episode to be judgey and lecturey (I know that's not a word, just swing with me for a minute). But I want you to understand how to both simplify and elevate your company and alleviate the stress. I want you to see where you're making things more complicated for yourself and figure out how to relieve (or prevent) burnout and of course make more money.

There's nothing wrong with wanting a small, easy to manage business. Nothing at all. But there are people out there who want more.   There are people out there, like me, who are laser focused on growing companies that 1) build wealth, 2) provide opportunities, 3) create jobs and 4) create legacies for our families that will carry on long after we're gone. I'm in that camp. A lot of you are in that camp. If you're not, you can still listen to this podcast, but if you are, you NEED to listen to it. This is what I'll call a “starter conversation”. In order to get to that legacy or empire building level, you must first stop thinking like a small business owner. What do I mean by that? Well, today we're talking about growing companies and not blocking your money. Yes, a lot of us do this when we don't want to do more than what's comfortable. I'm about to make some of you uncomfortable because, well, that's what I do.  So, sit back and really take in what I'm about to say. The purpose of THIS particular podcast is to get you to stop thinking solo and start thinking company. To grow a COMPANY that frees you of the job you've created for yourself in this business. To stop focusing on the negative (managing a team, hiring people, and all of the unsexy stuff that comes with growing a company. Because all of that “stuff” will get you free from the day to day. Making more money, committing less time. Open your mind, be receptive, and let's get to it. But before you do, ask yourself two questions  What happens if you can no longer serve those in your business on your own?  And, how do I keep the money flowing (comfortably) and the business running ?

Four of my nieces join me for a very special edition of the Latina Leadership Series. I wanted to include their perspective on the topic of family dynamics as young Latinas. Joining me are my nieces Alexandra, Gabby, Breanna and Nicole.

Aurora Losada is a former managing editor for Houston's largest newspaper, the Houston Chronicle, and is also a Latino market expert. She joins me in my Latina Leadership Series to discuss her career and her life journey. 

Hi guys! Today we have a very special guest. Reyna Marrufo is a self-taught Facebook ads expert, thought leader, speaker for the Latina community and a recent recruit on our team right here at Invoice2go. Although just swooped Reyna up out of the freelance market, she was a successful entrepreneur and business owner for five years. She has a wealth of knowledge to share on customer acquisition through Facebook, building a business without the classic University education formula, and the balance she thinks companies should strike between brand and growth marketing in order to successfully attract customers. We really enjoyed speaking with Reyna, as her incredible spirit, entrepreneurial drive and can-do mindset shines through at every moment. We hope you enjoy the episode.

"Finding my tribe." It's something we hear about often, especially in the digital age, but how easy is it to find one's tribe? Dive deep with me into this conversation on this episode of the If Not You, Then Who? - Podcast.

After the passing of my sister 3 years ago I had a few internal revelations. Tell me what you think, is this considered hating?

Welcome to the If Not You Then Who? podcast! I am your host Anjelica Cazares, and on this first episode I take a few minutes to invite you into the conversations we are about to have. I hope you will join me for the journey.
