It can be hard to imagine doing something until you see someone else do it. Most people learn by doing and messing up, and each time we venture past the comfort zone we find growth, but how do we even know where to venture? Sometimes it's cause someone went there before us, showed us the path, or at least gave us the hope that it was possible.
Role Models provide guidance, direction, and an example of success.
Have a cafecito and send one to your role model!
Saludos!

Leadership isn't about titles, it's about action, empathy, and the ability to inspire others. Many may have the title, but few are the type of leaders we show up for. In this episode we share examples of good leaders, bad leaders, and those who have transcended leadership by showing us the type of people we want to be.
Grab your cafecito and enjoy!

Artificial intelligence (AI) is all over the news, so we asked Sergio Suarez Jr the CEO of TackleAI to join us and explain what is artificial intelligence and the impact it will have in the current landscape and beyond. He explains how it is created and replicated and how the algorithms get smarter and become stronger and more accurate at generating content.
If you have been feeling like your a couple cafecitos behind when it comes to AI, take a listen, and if you have any questions, send them our way!

Deanna is like an espresso...sometimes too caffeinated, super strong, and also warm. She is a mother, an executive, has an MBA from Northwestern, and like many of us, integrates the values that our culture has into her personal and professional life.
She has also transformed the landscape, valuing taking care of herself, being vocal about what she wants, and believing that we can continuously transform ourselves.
Enjoy this episode with an espresso so you can get a sense of the type of energy Deanna brings to everything she does.

What's the difference between a leader and a manager? A LOT...not all leaders manage and not all managers lead. Your leadership style has a lot to do with how you share responsibility and how you reward (or reprimand) the risk takers.
We start a 3-part series on leadership, what it is, examples of great leaders we've worked for and admire, and of course...the watch outs.
Grab yourself a cafe con leche que esto se va a poner bueno!

Juan joined us for a cafecito this week and shared several experiences that have shaped his life. These stories start when his children were born and planning around childcare and managing careers, he is a banker, his wife is an entrepreneur. As their family grew up, it became about modeling to their children how to bounce back, and the value of competitive sports.
As a banker, Juan also wants to help our community plan for the future, major events, and also show to the industry the impact the Latine community has in the economy. He brings his core values of wanting people to succeed but understanding sometimes we fall, and we need to bounce back.
Warm up your cafecito and enjoy the sunshine!
