Hey y'all!  Welcome to another episode of the #IDPPodcast!  We have an awesome episode for you guys today!  We had the pleasure to interview the COO of the Guide App Mike Yates!  Mike is a teacher out of Austin, TX who dedicates his time trying to #disrupt the education industry!  How do you disrupt it?  He approaches teaching with a more fluid view.  We all know not everyone learns the same way and he understands that!  The school he is presently at are working on innovative ways to help their students learn.  He is also the COO of the Guide App which is an application to help teach high school kids and college kids the things they need to learn for the real world.  School teaches us math, history, and the other subjects but most schools do not teach how to interview.  They do not teach how to tie a tie or how to go after your dreams.  The Guide App looks to fill that space!  

This is an amazing episode from a very innovative guy!

Hey y'all!  Welcome back to another episode!  I am so excited because I get to interview the one... the only... T Lopez!  For those of you that do not know T is kind of a big deal.  She is a recording artist, writer, television personality, producer, podcast host, empowering the Latinx community and women worldwide, mother, wife, and just all around superwoman!  

I met T on Instagram after I saw her post about family and how she juggles her family (which she puts first) and working in the entertainment industry.  She focuses on helping working mothers with her two podcasts Mama Morsels and Mom Life Yo.  She always has such a powerful and uplifting message and its awesome to see her be such an advocate for putting family first.  Her husband DJ Hapa (who has an awesome podcast named A Tribe Called Dad) and her are raising two world changers and it is awesome to see them interact on social media.  

I got the pleasure to talk to T about a variety of topics.  We discussed disconnecting when we are away with our significant others and how that can be a hard thing to do.  We also talked about how family is the most important thing in our lives and how we try to model everything around that.  She also gives some tips as to the state of the entertainment industry and what someone needs to do in order to be successful now.  

It was so amazing and refreshing to talk to someone that actually gets it!  Trying to build up the Latinx community, trying to empower mothers, and making sure she is still present in her daughters lives!  Guys... this is a great podcast and I highly recommend you listen to it.

This time we have Sandra Showalter with us and we get to talk about the fun stuff...

Hey guys!!!  It has been a really long time and I want to apologize!  Things have gotten hectic and it has been busy but we are back to it!  I want to start off by saying that the audio for this episode is bad.  Real bad.  I tried to do the interview in person and it did not work.  But... we will move on with it!  This episode we interviewed Veronica Martinez and Charles Villafana of NAHREP Houston.  NAHREP stands for the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals.  They are an amazing organization that supports the Latino Community in real estate.  I came across them and while I was doing an event and loved what they were about.  I have gotten to know Veronica and Charles a lot and I can honestly say the are the best!  I would highly suggest listening to this especially their 10 guidelines to success!

Hey guys!  We have another amazing episode of the IDP Podcast!  This week we had the chance to interview Tony Martinez of the Latino Tax Professional Association.  We did a live webinar for the interview and it was very nerve wrecking but was a great experience!  

The Latino Tax Professional Association is an organization that advocates for the latino tax prepaper and for the immigration community.  They are positioning themselves to be the experts when dealing with immigrant clients for all of the accounting industry.  They are a great organization that provides training for their members and access to experts if you have any tax related questions.  They also teamed up with Tus Tres Maestras to be able to provide their members with bookkeeping training.  

Tony talks a little about the history of the organization and how they got started.  He then discusses the annual conference that they hold for their members in Las Vegas.  Finally we go on a Xero tangent, because you guys know I love it, and talk a little about their podcast and the partnership with Tus Tres Maestras.

Hey y'all!!  Welcome to another episode of the IDP podcast!  I appreciate you guys listening in!  This week we are mixing things up a bit.  I could not lock down an interview and decided that I just wanted to talk to you guys.  I wanted to open to you and have a real conversation with y'all.  Mental health is a topic this is not touched on or is always hushed and I want to make sure we talk about it more.  You guys get to learn more about me here and my thoughts about it.  I also talk about breaking out of your comfort zone.  We all know that doing new things are scary but sometimes they can be very rewarding.  The last topic I touch on is delegation.  We as business owners cannot do everything and we need to be ok with passing some items to other people that may specialize in that.  

This episode is real and I do open up to you guys a little more than I probably should but I want y'all to know I am speaking from the heart.  I am all about empowerment and I hope that at least my words helps someone out there who is struggling.  

Thanks guys and if you like this episode please like, subscribe, and share!
