In this episode, Juan takes you behind the scenes of building UndocuStartup™—from hosting fireside chats and information sessions to making cold calls, handling rejection, and preparing for back-to-back programs. He shares the real, unfiltered journey of growing an ecosystem for undocumented entrepreneurs, including the financial investments, tech failures, and mindset shifts required to keep moving forward. This episode highlights the importance of consistency, resilience, and learning to embrace the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.

🔑 In this episode you’ll learn:

• How to navigate rejection and stay motivated while doing outreach and sales
• What it takes to run and scale multiple programs in a single week
• Why investing in your business (time, money, and systems) is essential for growth

📣 Whether you’re a student with an idea, or an ally who wants to see undocumented students win — this episode is for you.
