Finding investment opportunities is a huge part of scaling small businesses into multimillion-dollar companies and Latino founders are more likely to seek external funding to scale their companies. In order to secure funding and scale their business, they need to know how to pitch themselves to investors that will take their businesses to the next level. That's exactly why this week's guest is an investing powerhouse with decades of experience growing small businesses and generating millions of dollars in revenue. Laura Maydon is the founder ofAscendo, a venture capital firm unlocking trillions of dollars of untapped opportunities nationwide that are currently overlooked. Ascendo invests in early-stage companies led by groundbreaking underrepresented founders who are using disruptive technologies that address the needs of growing demographic segments and that empower women, with a preference for Fintech, Edtech, Future of Work, Healthtech, and Enterprise Software. Before founding Ascendo, Laura founded Endeavor Miami in 2013, the first US affiliate of the global entrepreneurial organization, pioneering Miami's hub. During that time, Laura built a portfolio of more than 20 companies generating over $250 million in revenues, several with substantial exits. Prior to Endeavor, she held leadership positions at Visa and Panamco. Laura has strong Fintech, M&A, and PE backgrounds.Laura brings some pretty incredible statistics that remind us just how powerful our cohort truly is. She says that the US Latino economy is leading in growth and that itrepresents 3.6 trillion GDP. Which would be equivalent to the 5th largest global economy if it were its own country. There is so much economic power in the Latino community - that includes both their spending power and their entrepreneurial growth. And this week, Laura is teaching us how to harness that power. In this week's episode, we're learning all that we can from Laura's experience as a founder and investor who helped companies generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. We'll be diving into the entrepreneurial side of things including the specific challenges and opportunities that founders face in 2025, as well as emerging trends across sectors, and the rise of cross-border Latino businesses. Latino-owned businesses are seeing a remarkable amount of growth in the last few years and so we'll dive into how that will impact the global economy and what our audience can do to capitalize on that growth.Follow Laura on Instagram@Lmaydon and herwebsite.Follow Moneda Moves on Instagram:@MonedaMovesFollow your host Lyanne Alfaro on Instagram:@LyanneAlfaroMain podcast theme song from Premium Beat.

The idea for a national museum dedicated to showcasing the artistic, musical, literary, political and other socio-economic contributions of Latino Americans was first discussed a quarter of a century ago. While the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino is still at least a decade away from completion, it's already hit a snag. With a very diverse community of Latinos, conservative and liberal, having roots in Europe, Central America, South America and Africa, who controls the future of U.S. Latino history? In recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, we take a look at the controversy with Maria Elena Salinas, a broadcast journalist and ABC News contributor, who has worked in Spanish-language television for much of her career.Episode Transcript available hereAlso available at art19.com/shows/5-ThingsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week: Why sports podcasts are a slam dunk for podcast advertisers, our quarterly earnings roundup, how the buy-side of advertising defines ‘premium' content, how podcast advertisers are embracing Latino podcasting, and Netflix launches their ad-supported tier. Why sports podcasts could be a slam dunk for advertisers who know how to navigate the in-demand space Shreya: There's no denying the synergy of sports and advertisers during regular game seasons, but a new article from MarketingBrew's Alyssa Meyers highlights how podcasts can easily fill that gap the rest of the year.  “The sports podcast genre is among the top five most popular in the US, according to Edison Research, and the percentage share of ad revenue for that category more than doubled from 2020 to 2021, according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau.”  Several of Meyers' sources stress that sports is one of the most in-demand podcast genres for ad buyers. Steven Abraham, president of the Oxford Road, said the agency's biggest clients are interested in the space due to its reach with an active and engaged audience. “A good sports-podcast media plan includes both, according to Abraham. Major shows that cover entire leagues or sports news in general can provide the benefit of reach, but fan-led shows that focus on specific teams tend to be more targeted and affordable, he said.” Regardless of a show's popularity, the CPM of a sports podcast has the benefit of flexibility even in the off season. Locked On Podcast Network CEO David Locke reports listenership spikes more during off-season times like trade deadlines than during important games during the normal season.  Traditional media has spent decades refining their infrastructure around courting sports fans when players are on the court. Podcasting has the flexibility and staying power to capitalize on sports fandom's dedication for their favorite pastime and make sporting content a perennial avenue for advertisers.  Podcasting Companies Post Q3 Earnings Manuela: It's time for what's becoming a quarterly event here on The Download: quarterly earnings reports are here!  Most of what we're reporting on today has been released in the past week, but in the interest of gathering everyone together, we'll open with Spotify. As we covered back in October, Spotify shares dipped after their earnings call, in which CEO David Ek announced price increases coming in 2023.  In good news for Big Green: they report 456 million monthly active users, up 20% year over year, 195 million of which are paying subscribers, representing a 13% year over year jump.  iHeartMedia is up 7% year over year on revenue, with a Q3 total of $989 million. Their Digital Audio Group revenue hit a 23% year over year increase, with podcast revenue hitting $91 million dollars.  On Wednesday Veritone posted their Q3 financial report. $37.2 million in revenue with 64% year over year growth.  Audacy's financial report shows total revenue down 3.8% year on year. Their Digital revenue, including podcasting, made $62 million in the quarter. As Podnews James Cridland reports, this is up 2% year on year but 10% down quarter on quarter. Cridland also said: “The company is threatened with stock market delisting; stock hit a record low of $0.27 yesterday.”  Acast's Q3 has been positive with revenue up 21%, amounting to $29.8 million USD when converted from Krona. In their significant events recap they list the Podchaser acquisition, the partnership with Wondery to translate and record successful podcasts in Italian, and their agreement with rep The New York Times and sell UK ad space on NYT podcasts.  They also note Amazon functionally purchasing all ad space on Acast podcasts through the deal struck just after the reporting period so Amazon can run Acast shows ad-free for Amazon Music subscribers. How the buy-side of the ad industry is now defining ‘premium' content  Shreya: On Wednesday Ronan Shields, writing for Digiday, published a piece covering how the buyer side of the market is defining premium ad content and the general mood of the industry in regards to the looming threat of recession. The piece quotes panels from multiple relevant conferences in New York City last week.  “Just about everyone in the industry is bracing themselves for a recession with swinging cuts to advertisers' budgets expected, fellow panelists Jesse Fisher from Horizon Media and GroupM's Esra Bacher offered insights into how marketers would make budgeting decisions. They both pointed out how priorities will delineate depending on whether they are an emerging or mature brand.”  Fischer predicts smaller brands will focus more on awareness campaigns instead of focusing on ROI. “But if you look at a more mature brand, you know that's really well positioned… they might shift spend into more measurable channels and types of activations because they really want to make sure that if they're spending a million dollars, they're able to see $1.1 million in ROI.” Programmatic Investment Lead at GroupM Esra Bacher suggests marketers and media agencies have evolved enough to withstand the brunt of an anticipated economic downturn better than the 2008 recession that lead to sweeping cuts. While DSPs and premium publishers are using tools like The Trade Desk's OpenPath to form direct relationships, media agencies are similarly getting together with supply-side platforms. An anonymous source at Brand Safety Week told Digiday:  “It's not possible for us to talk to 10,000 publishers, but it is possible for us to talk to 50 SSPs. So, we might look to see how much we're spending with, say, 10-15 publishers via DSPs, and then look to see which SSPs have unique supply, unique data… and transparency on things like show-level data…” Podcast listening by US Latinos is on the rise. Are ad dollars following suit? Manuela: Back in August the third annual Latino Podcast Listener Report from Edison Research was published, as dedicated listeners might remember from our coverage. The report delivered promising news, including the statistic that 59% of US Latino adults have listened to a podcast at least once.  This past Wednesday Alyssa Meyers, writing for MarketingBrew, covered both the highlights of the report and how the podcasting industry is adjusting to the rise in Latino audiences.  Latina Podcasters Network and Latino Pods CEO Rita Bautista says their stable of 40+ podcasts  broke six figures in ad revenue so far in 2022, working with brands like Ulta Beauty, Pfizer, and Gold Peak. The network does not run prerecorded ads, preferring host-read copy to ensure authenticity.  “There's absolutely a lot of interest in the Hispanic opportunity by many advertisers,” said Jesus Lara, president of Univision Radio, including its Uforia Audio Network. “There's other advertisers that will need a little more education.” Lara stressed that authenticity has to be paramount when building ad creative. Ad Results Media VP of media operations and analytics Lisa Jacobs says she advises brands to only write copy in another language if they have someone fluent around to work on the translation. Jacobs told MarketingBrew this might seem self-explanatory, but there have been situations in the past where someone used Google Translate to try and convert copy to another language.  Bautista says she's seeing brands follow the advice of people like Jacobs, though there is room to grow.  “The needle is moving. It's not moving as quickly as it needs to be, but…I do commend these companies that we've been working with for trying their best, and making sure that they are working on these efforts, and asking for feedback, and looking towards the right types of networks to advertise with in order to get this right.” Brands advertising on Netflix include Louis Vuitton, Subway, and Duracell Shreya: Previously we've covered Netflix's moves into making its cheapest tier an ad-supported one. Last week the platform officially launched the tier, charging $6.99 for ‘Basic with Ads' in the US, as well as eight other countries. MarketingBrew's Kelsey Sutton reports the ad loads are capped at four to five minutes of advertising per hour and the formats are pre-roll and mid-roll.  Sutton and others from MarketingBrew used accounts on the new tier to catch the new advertisement breaks in action.  “Brands we spotted while watching Gilmore Girls and Ozark included everything from luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., and Bulgari to tech brands like Beats by Dre and Google. Apartments.com, Best Western, Booking.com, Cadillac, CeraVe, Duracell, Michelob Ultra, and Subway were also spotted in the mix.  Sutton reports the exercise found an average of three ad breaks per episode amounting to around 60 seconds total of midroll plus the preroll that ran before the episode began.  “It remains to be seen how many of Netflix's ~223 million global subscribers will opt to watch with ads. In a poll last month, most Marketing Brew readers said they'd keep their existing ad-free subscriptions, but 14% each said they'd either sign up for Netflix on its ad-supported tier for the first time or switch their existing ad-free subscription to the ad-supported tier.” The new service isn't quite plug-and-play just yet, as Netflix has to renegotiate licensing agreements with studios before it can run advertisements on their properties. They also appear to still be working on implementing the measurement tools produced by their partnership with DoubleVerify, Integral Ad Science, and Nielsen. While Sutton mentions some advertisers are waiting in the wings to gauge the public's reaction to the new tier, it's clear plenty of big-name advertisers are interested in buying ad space on premium content. Netflix's CPM for their new ad slots has been reported between $60 and $80. It's exciting to see both the interest and the price holding in a buyer's market.  Now to see if Netflix can deliver long-term. For now we can only watch, both literally and figuratively.  Quick Hits Shreya: Finally, it's time for our semi-regular roundup of articles we're calling Quick Hits. These are articles that didn't quite make the cut for today's episode, but are still worth including in your weekend reading. This week: The holiday campaigns have begun- here's what we're seeing so far by Katie Hicks for MarketingBrew. A breezy breakdown of what tact major brands are taking with their holiday season campaigns this year, with trends developing around addressing inflation and families celebrating together.  These Are the Salaries Warner, Amazon and Sony Offer For Audio Jobs by Ashley Carman for Bloomberg. Last week's issue of Carman's newsletter Soundbite features a look at salaries for a variety of companies working in audio now that New York City has passed a new law requiring good faith salary ranges on open positions. The Download is a production of Sounds Profitable. Today's episode was hosted by Shreya Sharma and Manuela Bedoya, and the script was written by Gavin Gaddis.

When one in four startups are founded by US Latinos, it's no wonder they've attracted the attention of big investment. Laura Moreno Lucas explains why.

At this year's L'Attitude 2022 conference, Latino Donor Collaborative revealed their latest report showing that U.S. Latinos are a key driving force in our nation's economic recovery. Despite being the largest minority in the U.S. and making significant contributions to the growth of our economy, Latinos are still among the most underrepresented in leadership positions. Esther Aguilera, CEO of Latino Corporate Directors Association, recently told AL DÍA News Media, "Business leaders—both non-Latino and Latino—play a critical role in driving an accurate story of the Latino community and its huge impact on the American economy. We need business leaders everywhere to lean in, learn more, and speak up about the dynamism and success of the Latino community. Otherwise, these misconceptions and contradictory views of our community will continue to slow progress for everyone." In this episode, Monica Marquez shares insights from LDC's 2022 U.S. Latinos GDP Report™, recent community successes, and how the next-generation Latino cohort can help drive our country's economic growth.   Highlights:  [02:23] Insights from LDC's 2022 U.S. Latinos GDP Report™ [04:48] Future of Latinos in the workforce [07:37] Adding value through cultural perspective inside your organization  [08:13] U.S. Latino GDP impact on the economy [08:41] Elevating and recruiting next-generation talent  [09:09] Latino educational achievements  [10:20] Statistics on Latino real consumption [11:16] Breaking misconceptions in the Latino community [12:29] Google's rise in market share through product inclusion and innovation [16:15] Future vision for Latinos and embracing diversity   Quotes: “Latino Donor Collaborative's latest report on the economic growth of the U.S. Latino cohort confirms the sheer dominance that U.S. Latinos will have on the country's economy as a whole.”  - Monica Marquez "From a business perspective and whatever your industry, if you aren't paying attention to the US Latino cohort, you will get left behind."  - Monica Marquez “Latinos are gaining more and more wealth and consuming more at a faster pace than any other cohort in the U.S. It just makes business sense to pay attention now.”  - Monica Marquez “We are excited to see a world where Latino voices and perspectives matter in defining products in defining services and policies – a world where Latinos no longer are hoping for equal pay, career opportunity, or a seat at the table.”  - Monica Marquez About Nikki Barua: Nikki Barua is a digital innovator, serial entrepreneur, author & speaker.    Website: https://www.nikkibarua.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenikkibarua/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenikkibarua/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thenikkibarua/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/NikkiBarua   About Monica Marquez: Monica Marquez is a senior corporate leader, ex-Googler, and diversity expert.

Gloria Calderon Kellett's 'With Love' is the best Latinx television I have seen. It combines all the American TV characteristics we grew up with, but with a US Latino family at the center. Think of ‘When Harry Met Sally,' ‘Love Actually,' 'The Holiday,' but with Latinos. It's all the shows that make us cozy up to a warm fire, a snug blanket, and hot chocolate. Gloria shares the details of how she got into the business, and how legendary producer Norman Lear believed in her.

The New Majority (TNM) podcast highlights the leaders of our country's new majority—one that is increasingly multicultural, increasingly diverse, and increasingly Latino. TNM amplifies the voices of Latino professionals who are not readily allowed a platform where their insights and stories can be heard. Even as the US Latino population increases every year, the demographic growth remains undervalued and underrepresented in corporate leadership positions and media coverage. The New Majority is here to change that. Over the course of our limited podcast series, you'll hear from Latino innovators in both business and culture. Host Pedro A. Guerrero, publisher of Hispanic Executive, will interview leaders of the new majority about their career journeys and their lessons learned—and, in doing so, provide our audience with relevant industry advice and expertise. For a transcript of an episode of The New Majority, please email us.

On this week's episode, Curtis is joined by Adrian Burgos, a professor at the University of Illinois who specializes in US-Latino history. He's written two books: Playing America's Game: Baseball, Latinos, and the Color Line and Cuban Star: How One Negro League Owner Changed the Face of Baseball about the history of Latinos in US professional baseball. Curtis and Adrian discuss how the history of Latino baseball intersects with the Negro Leagues. In the early 20th century, many Latino players found themselves shut out of the AL and NL behind the white major leagues's color line, but they found a place in the Negro Leagues. Dr. Burgos digs into the fascinating history of Latino players working with Black players to create a different kind of culture and game, how the color line operated with regards to Latino players, and some of the long-term ramifications of the way the AL and NL went about integration. Follow Adrian on Twitter at @adburgosjr, and check out his article, where he digs further into this topic, on our website.

In this episode I speak with Dr. Vanessa K Valdes, Associate Professor at City College in New York. As well as author of Diasporic Blackness and Oshun's Daughters. We're talking about many topics such as Latino influence in US literature, historical context of what it means to be an Afro-Latino individual in American culture as well as how the shift from racial identity to national identity affected people of color in Puerto Rico.

Comedian Eugenio Derbez stops by the show to discuss his new movie "Overboard," but we really talk about his struggles of becoming a star in an industry that has not fully embraced his culture, his accent nor his stories. We unspool why he’s making English-language movies now after a successful career in Spanish, how he overcame the sellout stigma from Mexican peers and why he believes Hollywood is afraid of creating Latino movie stars. We also analyze Avengers: Infinity War. Is this best superhero of all time? Film critic Mike Sargent don’t think so and we dissect the 3 major problems with the film and why overall we give it a 7 instead of a 10. I’ll also give you a look at the top headlines in US Latino pop culture and recommendations to 3 new tracks I’ve discovered.

We’re discussing the Oscar nominations this week with our good friend Wilson Morales from Blackfilm.com. We will get to the deeper meaning of how these nominations are influencing our society, and of course, do some predictions on who will win. Also, the New York Times wrote an article this week called “After #OscarsSoWhite, Hispanics Seek Their Hollywood Moment”. It makes the point that Hispanic actors are in dire need for some needed on-screen inclusion in Hollywood. I talk Brooks Barnes, the media and entertainment reporter who wrote the article about what led him to write the piece and what solutions he can impart after one year of working on it.  And finally, the 60th Annual Grammy Awards are Sunday the 28th and Matt Fish, a hip-hop connoisseur will help me make sense of how hip hop and Latino music owned 2017, and what it will it mean for the mainstream music industry if the mostly Spanish-language song DESPACITO wins Record or Song of the Year?

We are happy to present another episode from the Latino Media Collective. For this show, Aaron Fountain, a PhD student in the department of American History at Indiana University-Bloomington, discusses the surprisingly extensive history of urban Latino riots. He also talks about how the "Black-White Binary" of racial injustice makes these moments in history largely forgotten and how they can happen again.
