While so many people are suffering because of COVID-19, it seems wrong to suggest that anything good will come of this, When things settle down, I think there will be positive outcomes we can point to. The time spent with my immediate family is something I know I will cherish. I am very close to all of my kids, but our lives are so fast-paced, there is no chance I would have been able to spend as much quality time with them under any other circumstance. I also speak to my parents almost daily and I have connected with friends I haven’t spoken to in years. I also think we all have an incredible opportunity to do some deep thinking and contemplate what we truly want to do with the rest of our lives. I believe the next Microsoft and Amazon will be birthed in 2020, and some of the best investment opportunities in decades may emerge. But more than any of that, I hope we all spend time thinking about how we can become better people… How we can become better citizens of the world and how we can all be a little more grateful for the blessing we have in the world and in this great country.
With so much injustice happening—from mass deportations to rising discrimination—you’d think Latinos would be more unified. But that’s easier said than done. In this episode, I break down why unity has eluded us, the four mindsets shaping Latino identity today, and how our shared values—especially family—can still bring us together. Let’s stop arguing and start building. Our strength is in our unity.
If you really want to support the Latino agenda, start by being successful. In this episode, I share why making money, collaborating with other Latinos, and lifting each other up are more strategic—and more powerful—than any protest. It’s tough love, but it’s what our community needs to win.
It’s tempting to call each other out—but that instinct can hold us back. In this episode, I talk about the “Mexican crab” story and why it resonates with our community. To truly change perceptions and attract investment, we need to prioritize wealth, reboot our politics, and most importantly—have each other’s backs.
