Growing up at the heart of Mexico City, Israel Hernandez and his college roommates always had a passion for the fintech space and the behind-the-scenes technology of how electronic transactions were made. Acting on his passion, he created FinTech company, IDEA Co. Mexico which began as an electronic payment service then transformed into an electronic SaaS (software as a service) transactions platform for banks and gas stations in Latin America. After having massive success, he ventured off to the sunny city of Miami, Florida where he met Aaron Chavez and other colleagues. They came together and discovered that there were no financial education services or AI Robo-advisors that served a continuously growing Latino(x) population in the US. As a result, came DINERAZO! A financial education platform that provides digestible personal investment education &amp; financial literacy information to the underserved Hispanic market domestically &amp; internationally.✅Reach out to Dinerazo: <a href="https://dinerazo.com/" rel="nofollow">https://dinerazo.com</a>✅Follow our socials @goentrepreneuryourself✅Subscribe to our soon-to-arrive newsletter for digestible entrepreneur tips, resources from our guests, and the latest business memes at <a href="https://app.redcircle.com/shows/902801ac-8c78-48de-93b4-e582df674797/ep/d0c45bff-e908-45be-816e-45ecf47b4754/Goentrepreneuryourself.com" rel="nofollow">Goentrepreneuryourself.com</a>✅Leave us a review on Apple Podcast!

As if graduating from Harvard Business School, Cornell, &amp; creating 3 tech startups doesn&#39;t already sound impressive enough, entrepreneur Jeff Wald takes us through moments of his life where he co-founded Spinback; his first startup that failed and was subsequently sold to Salesforce.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to pitch your business on the hit TV show Shark Tank? In our interview with Stephan Aarstol, we discussed how he choked up during his pitch on Shark Tank to landing a $150K investment from billionaire Mark Cuban. We discuss what it was like behind the scenes on the show and his partnership with a Shark. In this episode, you will learn how Stephan created Tower Paddle Boards by disrupting distribution channels - instead of focusing on advertising and refusing to have major retailers carry his products - and increasing revenue from $100k in 2013 to $40 million today. We also uncover Stephan&#39;s Book The 5 Hour Workday and how changing his company culture has helped and hurt his business.
