🚀 Exciting news, friends!
🎉 Get ready for an extraordinary episode of Growth Hacks Experiences (GHX) on our Inspiral Growth YouTube channel!
🎥✨ In this special segment, we had the privilege of sitting down with none other than Maria Sol Zuloaga, the co-founder of Lindosta, ArteSol Ecuador, and Zuloaga Club.
Join us as we embark on a fascinating journey through the world of entrepreneurship and family businesses in Ecuador. Lindosta is not just a business; it's a legacy that started with Maria Sol's parents, Gloria Maria and Leonidas.
They began with a passion for music and gradually expanded to include traditional musical instruments, toquilla straw hats, handcrafted souvenirs, and more!
Maria Sol takes us back to the roots of Lindosta, where LP records were once the heart of the business. But like every great entrepreneur, they adapted to the ever-changing demands of their customers, and today, Lindosta thrives as an e-commerce platform, catering to tourists and entrepreneurs alike.
