Do you have a brand or product and want to expand it worldwide? Do you have a brand, product or ideas and want to establish partnership that allow you to grow join us with Miguel caballero to have a conservation about it.   Join host Fermin Diaz from the Hazleton LaunchBox as he interviews this month's guest, Miguel Caballero.

About Miguel: Miguel Caballero is a serial entrepreneur with about 18 years experience building tech companies in the infrastructure, edtech and blockchain ecosystems. He co-founded Neomedia Wireless, an engineering firm specialized in wireless infrastructure, which provided consultancy services to the city councils of Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Zaragoza and IT companies like Indra and Orange.  Since 2013, he is the founder and CEO of Tutellus.com, an edtech P2P platform in Spanish-speaking countries. More recently, he co-launched Tutellus.io, an innovative, decentralized blockchain-powered edtech platform that tokenizes the education system based on collaborative and incentive-based models.  

Most businesses choose to find customers via product development and promotion of those products. More and more however, business is starting to integrate the two. What if, instead promoting a new product, the product was the promotion? This shift in perspective opens up new channels for creating fanatics of our business, rather than just customers.  

In this podcast we chat with two recent competitors from the LEGO Masters show that aired on Fox in the spring of 2020, Flynn DeMarco and Richard Board.
