As Latinos, entrepreneurship is in our blood. With nearly one in four new businesses being Hispanic-owned, the future of America is in our hands. In this week's episode, we welcome Isabel Casilla Guzman, the 27th Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration and the highest-ranking Latina in President Biden's cabinet.

On the pod, we'll discuss the critical role of small businesses in driving our nation’s economy and strengthening communities. We’ll also dive into the importance of entrepreneurship within the Latino community and how the SBA is stepping up its support under Administrator Guzman's leadership.

Looking forward, we'll explore how the SBA is leveraging technology, including AI, to enhance services for small businesses, and the significant impact of social media on entrepreneurs. Plus, we'll talk about the growing areas within the small business sector and the trends Administrator Guzman would like to see more Latinos engage in.

And of course, we’ll touch on how partnerships, like the one between the Hispanic Heritage Foundation and the SBA, are creating valuable pathways for young entrepreneurs to access funding, mentorship, and resources. Tune in for an insightful and inspiring conversation!
