We loved this episode with Andres! He is giving you the permission to show up and step into spaces where you don’t see many who look like us. This conversation lets you know that there’s no such thing as a “saturated market”. Just because there’s many other companies, brands and businesses out there who may be doing the same thing you are doesn’t mean you can’t do it too! Add some of your sazón because there is NO ONE out there who can do it like YOU can. Show the f*ck up and show OUT, mi gente! Gracias Andres for sharing your expertise with our audience!
