276 - Building Brazi Bites with Junea Rocha

dimanche 9 octobre 2022 • Durée 56:36

Join us this October 13 in San Diego and let’s celebrate 8 years of Cafe con Pam

Listeners, we're back this week with Junea Rocha.

Junea Rocha is the Co-Founder and CMO of better-for-you, Latin-inspired food brand, Brazi Bites. After graduating from college in Civil Engineering, Junea took a job in construction management in Portland, Oregon, rising through the ranks quickly and hitting a career-high. However, when Junea imagined her future, she knew she would rather take a risk on a career she was passionate about over working in something that was simply just easy for her. With a huge love for her Brazilian homeland and entrepeneruial spirit, Junea set her eyes on achieving something bigger that would take more heart and resilience than any job she ever had.

In 2010, along with her husband and Co-Founder, Cameron MacMullin, Junea decided to bring a cherished household staple that was native to her Brazilian roots, “Pão de Queijo,” AKA cheese bread, to the U.S. market without any experience in the food industry. With better-for-you foods in mind, Brazi Bites was founded on the authentic family recipe from Junea’s mother using simple, wholesome, hand-picked ingredients like tapioca flour. In a few short years after taking a giant leap and perfecting the family recipe, Brazi Bites grew into a nationally distributed brand with a cult-like following after appearing on ABC’s Shark Tank and being included twice on the Inc. 5000 list of “America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies.” Junea has been heavily involved in all areas of the business with a leading role in Sales & Marketing, growing Brazi Bites’ annual revenue from zero to millions and over 15,000 stores. She is also a skilled fundraiser having gone through multiple types of funding over the last decade, from bootstrapping to loans, angel investors, and more. In 2018, the founding duo brought on a private equity investor to help fuel the rapid growth and surge in demand for new innovation, transforming Brazi Bites as a leader in the frozen better-for-you, Latin-inspired food category.

Today, Junea remains just as passionate and more excited than ever to continue Brazi Bites’ growth, making its products a household staple in North America. Junea hopes to continue creating joyful moments for families everywhere by producing delicious, easy-to-make, naturally gluten-free foods that also guarantee to spread smiles.

21:52 - "Americans don’t say cheese bread they say Brazi Bites"

271 - Estate Planning with Carmen Rosas

dimanche 4 septembre 2022 • Durée 58:44

Join us this October 13 in San Diego and let’s celebrate 8 years of Cafe con Pam

Listeners, we're back this week with Carmen Rosas.

Hoop-wearing, award-winning and stereotype-defying attorney Carmen Rosas is on a mission to help women chase and secure the bag. Drawing on more than 10 years of experience in estate planning, Rosas equips women to protect themselves and their families by protecting their assets. And she’s doing it all in style.

A proud mix of Mexican, French, and Italian, Carmen grew up in the Bay Area, fascinated by her grandmother's stories of living in Mexico, arriving in America, and settling in California. Her curiosity of other cultures and the development of languages and communal systems led her to study Anthropology at Santa Clara University. During her sophomore year, she even interned at the Public Defender’s Office-Juvenile Division in Washington D.C.

Carmen’s comparison studies of the U.S. legal system and tribal systems in New Zealand, as well as her interest in policy change, led her to law school. Following this inspiration, she grew her legal skills and worked with three prominent Bay Area law firms while also volunteering with the Pro Bono Project of Silicon Valley.

Today she is the founder and lead counsel of Carmen Rosas Law where she empowers women to take back control of their money, desires and life. Carmen’s unique approach to estate planning blends personalized, intuitive coaching with trusted legal advice to finally give women, especially Latina women, the chance to be seen and heard by an attorney who looks like them and gets it.

Carmen has been featured inThe Huffington Post, Forbes, Be Latina, Create and Cultivate, The Balance, and Modern Latina where she shares her guidance and legal advice with women around the country. When she’s not plotting a new way to help women win, she’s either hiking, gardening, traveling, shopping at local farmer's markets or experiencing new cultures. More than anything, she loves spending her free time with her beautiful daughter.

During this episode we talked about:

04:14 - Growing up multicultural
10:26 - Being the first
13:40 - Going to law school
31:57 - Getting to where she is now
36:21 - What is estate planning
And more...
