Thank Laura for being on the show!

Laura's Mission:

I want to help Hispanics “Latinize” the digital world! I focus on Latino entrepreneurs and small business owners, their journeys and how they have used social media to further their businesses. 

On this episode you will hear about:

• Podcast South Florida meetup
• Why should you start a meetup
• How to start a meetup
• Should you charge for attendance?
• Meetup.com vs Eventbrite
• Meetup.com pricing
• Should you have a co-founder?

How Laura defines empowerment:

To have independence. To have control over your situation or whatever it is you want to control. The power to make your own decisions.

What Laura and I talked about:

What was the last movie you saw?

12 Years A Slave

The EPIC Final Question: What is one tip, or one piece of advice you can give people who are just starting?

Just go for it. We all start making excuses for why we're not doing what we say we're going to do or what we want to do, and most of the time what we know we have to do. Most of the time it doesn't have to be all or nothing. Just start with baby steps. Always move forward. You will grow and you'll see things change.
