Latinos are an economic powerhouse — and in this episode of The Global Latin Factor Podcast, host Crispin Valentin brings the receipts. Using publicly available data, we break down why Latinos are a major growth engine in the U.S. economy:

U.S. Latino GDP ($4.1T in 2023), Latino consumption ($2.7T in 2023), workforce impact (19% of the U.S. civilian labor force / 31.8M in 2023), and Latino purchasing power ($4.1T). We also connect the dots on why major brands and sports leagues invest in Latino audiences—because money follows growth.

Misael comparte su historia desde La Romana y Santo Domingo (República Dominicana): crecer entre hambre, escasez y presión familiar, y cómo esas experiencias moldearon su mentalidad. Hablamos de romper ciclos, reprogramación mental, sanar heridas del pasado y construir una nueva historia sin quedarse atrapado en lo que ya fue.

También exploramos su camino profesional: aprender inglés desde cero, graduarse en Estados Unidos, decirle NO al dinero fácil por principios, y su evolución en liderazgo trabajando de cerca con la metodología de John Maxwell. Una conversación honesta para quienes buscan disciplina, claridad, valores firmes y un liderazgo auténtico que se vive, no solo se habla.
