On today’s episode, we’re joined by media entrepreneur and author Javier Marín to discuss his new book, Live from America: How Latino TV Conquered the United States (Grupo Planeta). Javier traces the rise of the Spanish International Network—now Univision—from its early days to its emergence as the nation’s leading Hispanic media network.

We go behind the scenes to explore the personal rivalries, strategic decisions, and cultural shifts that turned Spanish-language TV into a powerful force—from telenovelas and soccer to news and politics. The conversation also highlights how the U.S. became the world’s second-largest Spanish-speaking country and the role Latino media played in shaping national history.

A compelling look at the network that helped give a community its voice. 🎙️

The Trinity test—the world’s first nuclear explosion—changed the planet forever, without warning the tens of thousands of people living nearby.

In the years that followed, families across surrounding communities began to suffer mysterious and devastating health effects. They became known as the Downwinders—ordinary people living with the consequences of an extraordinary and closely guarded secret.

This episode explores Downwind, a world-premiere opera by student composers Michael Smith and Demian Galvan. After traveling to New Mexico to better understand the land and the legacy of Trinity, the composers bring these often-ignored stories to the stage. As Smith writes, “While the family in our opera is fictional, the reality that they face is not.”

Together, we examine the history, the harm, and the haunting beauty of a work that asks a powerful question: what does progress cost—and who is made to pay the price?

Small businesses fuel local economies — but growth requires the right tools, training, and support. In this episode, we spotlight Texas State University’s Learning and Insights for Forward Traction (LIFT) accelerator, a six-week program designed to strengthen marketing skills and help small businesses scale with confidence.

Participants reported major gains in marketing confidence, social media strategy, goal setting, and practical execution.

You’ll hear insights from program leaders Dr. Josh Daspit and Dr. Marlene Orozco on how research-driven training translates into real-world growth, as well as why access to practical tools matters for long-term economic stability. We also explore how entrepreneurs are redefining branding, leveraging analytics, and using innovative resources like an AI Business Coach to accelerate their businesses.

Whether you’re a business owner, chamber leader, educator, or economic development professional, this episode offers valuable takeaways on how targeted education and partnerships can strengthen entrepreneurs and communities statewide.

Episode Summary: In this heartfelt and candid episode, we sit down with Latin Grammy-winning Tejano icon Bobby Pulido, who’s currently in the middle of his highly anticipated farewell tour after a groundbreaking 30-year career in music.

Bobby reflects on his unexpected rise to fame—from a young man who once dreamed of becoming a lawyer to becoming one of the most recognizable and celebrated voices in Tejano music. He shares the personal and professional turning points that shaped his journey, and why now, even at the height of his success, he's stepping away from the stage.

And what’s next? Bobby is preparing for a new chapter—public service. While we pressed (gently and not-so-gently) for clues about a potential political run, Bobby keeps those cards close to his chest. No confirmations here, just a little speculative fun.

Tune in for a conversation full of laughs, memories, and a few surprises. Whether you're a lifelong fan or just discovering Bobby’s music, this episode captures the spirit of an artist who’s always stayed true to himself—and now looks ready to serve in an entirely new way.

🧭 Topics Covered:

  • Bobby’s early ambitions and why music was not part of the original plan
  • Memories from his breakout years and Tejano’s golden era
  • What the farewell tour means to him
  • Reflections on identity, legacy, and Latino representation
  • Public service: Why it’s calling him—and why he’s (mostly) staying quiet about what’s next
  • What he wants fans to know, remember, and carry forward

🎧 Listen now and celebrate three decades of music, culture, and purpose with Bobby Pulido.

Welcome to the show! In this episode, we’re diving into a critical conversation unfolding right here in Texas—one that could reshape how small businesses across the state operate and survive.

We’re joined by two powerhouse guests:

🔹 Eddie Lucio III – Former State Representative who served eight terms representing House District 38. During his time in the Legislature, he chaired key committees and led impactful work on education, healthcare, water security, and consumer protections. Now, he’s a practicing attorney, public affairs expert, and small business owner.

🔹 Corey Ticknor – A seasoned government relations professional with over a decade of experience in Texas politics. From his early days as a senior legislative staffer to his current role as a lobbyist and policy strategist, Corey has helped pass over 100 bills across a wide range of issues, from broadband to public safety.

At the heart of this conversation is House Bill 2428 – The Fair Business Reimbursement Act, led by the Texas Association of Mexican American Chambers of Commerce (TAMACC) and a strong coalition of business organizations.

For years, small and minority-owned businesses in Texas have shouldered the burden of being unpaid tax collectors—swallowing rising credit card fees that eat into already razor-thin margins. HB 2428 is a push for fairness, not tax cuts. It’s about modernizing the system and ensuring small businesses can continue to compete and thrive.

In this episode:

  • What exactly is HB 2428—and why is it gaining momentum now?

  • The hidden cost of swipe fees on small businesses

  • Who’s supporting the bill—and who’s standing in the way

  • What’s at stake for the future of doing business in Texas

🎧 Stick around as we unpack the bill, the movement behind it, and why this moment matters more than ever for entrepreneurs across the state.

Immigration enforcement has always been a federal matter, but SB4 shifts significant authority to state law enforcement.

In today’s episode, of Latino Business report, we sit down for a candid conversation with Jacqueline Camacho-Ruiz, a visionary social entrepreneur who has built an inspiring enterprise. Her unwavering commitment to service, combined with a powerful vision for positive impact, has driven her to create not one, but two award-winning companies and establish two nonprofit organizations.

Born in Mexico City, Jacqueline S. Ruiz embarked on a remarkable journey when she moved to the United States at the age of 14. There, she quickly mastered both English and German. But it wasn’t just languages that captivated her—she also devoured literature from influential authors like Dale Carnegie, Zig Ziglar, and Napoleon Hill. Their wisdom would later shape her path.

In 2006, Jacqueline launched her award-winning marketing and public relations agency, JJR Marketing, leaving an indelible mark on the business world. But her ambitions didn’t stop there. She also founded an international media and publishing company.

Jackie, as she’s affectionately known, wears another remarkable hat: that of a Pilotina. As one of the very few Latina sports airplane pilots in the United States, she soars through the skies with determination. But her impact extends beyond aviation. Jackie is the driving force behind Latinas in Aviation, a global brand that encompasses a book, a magazine, scholarships, and exciting events.

Gonzales has in a probing conversation with Erika Cruz, a Latina who defies norms and stereotypes with her fearless attitude.

Erika chose to relinquish the seemingly perfect life she was leading to pursue her own desires, breaking away from societal expectations.

Erika, a rebel at heart, departed from a lucrative six-figure tech job to forge an unconventional path to success, driven by her passion and purpose.

As the daughter of Mexican immigrants, Erika worked tirelessly to validate her parents' sacrifices, striving to achieve the American Dream. By the age of 25, she found herself working in the tech industry, traveling the world, earning a six-figure income, and engaged to be married. However, despite these accomplishments, she was not content—this was not her American Dream.

Erika took a bold step by calling off her engagement, resigning from her tech job, and redirecting her focus to creating self-development content on social media. Emerging as a thought leader in this space, she founded her coaching business, Courage Driven Latina, and now generates an income exceeding a million dollars a year.

The US Hispanic segment represents the most prominent demographic growth in the country, and a huge and untapped business opportunity for companies willing to move away from preconceived notions and market effectively to Hispanic customers.

Now more than ever, corporations operating in the US should see the Hispanic population at the core of their existing and future strategies, but many leaders believe Hispanic marketing is the same marketing you run for Anglos but translated into Spanish, or that all Hispanics are undocumented immigrants with no purchasing power, or that using Mariachis in their communications is the way to connect with this diverse segment.

Hemp has been grown as a renewable source of raw materials for over 8,000 years.  It is grown industrially in over 30 countries around the world, from Indonesia to the Netherlands to Argentina. Hemp is far more environmentally friendly than traditional crops since it requires much less water to grow, and no pesticides.

Location and climate make the Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley an ideal location to grow this high-yield, fast-growing and profitable crop.

Hemp has been grown as a renewable source of raw materials for over 8,000 years.  It is grown industrially in over 30 countries around the world, from Indonesia to the Netherlands to Argentina. Hemp is far more environmentally friendly than traditional crops since it requires much less water to grow, and no pesticides.
