Rafa Nieves: From nightclub promoter to Teoscar Hernández's agent

Episode 14

Tuesday, September 24, 2024 • Duration 53:55

You’ve seen the headlines. "All-star third baseman Jose Ramirez agrees to 5-year, $124M extension with Cleveland." Behind those deals is a lesser known negotiator trying to craft the best possible deal for a baseball player: the agent. Rafa Nieves is one of them, founding sports agency Republik Sports in 2020. His agency is responsible for that headline you read seconds ago and represents players like Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez and the Yankees’ Luis Gil. Rafa joins Bísness School to tell us how he went from pro baseball player to professional agent, what he learned from being a nightclub promoter in Miami, what he wrote in the cold email that got him first job and the unexpected role the MTV Video Music Awards played in his career.

Julissa Prado: How she created the curly hair care formula Chappell Roan and Thalía swear by

Episode 13

Tuesday, September 10, 2024 • Duration 01:16:23

When Julissa Prado was a child, she spent several summers with her grandmother in Mexico — where she learned how to mix natural ingredients, such as lemon, sugar and aloe vera to prepare homemade remedies. She realized she could use other similar ingredients for something she had long struggled with: her curly hair. Frustrated with the lack of products in the United States to reduce frizz and provide long lasting hold for textured hair, Julissa, with the help of her brother Tony, wanted to show Latinas in the United States that having the perfect curls didn’t mean buying products heavy on sulfate, silicones or parabens. The siblings decided to create an all-natural one. Today, Rizos Curls is the first Latina-owned curly hair care brand available at all Ulta Beauty stores nationwide and the brand singer Chapell Roan uses to make her curls shine on stage. Julissa Prado joins Bísness School to tell us why it took her four years to find the perfect formula for Rizos Curls, how a natural disaster gave her the impulse to start the company, and what happened after Rizos Curls launched a collaboration with Mexican actress and singer Thalía.

Ricardo Sucre and Gabriel González: The recipe for a Latino hard seltzer

Episode 4

Tuesday, March 5, 2024 • Duration 52:20

Ricardo Sucre, Gabriel González and Gustavo Darquea experienced culture shock when they came to the United States from South America for college. It wasn't just the language or the food — it was what college students drank that was surprising. Beer, vodka and hard seltzers reigned, while rum was nowhere to be found. After graduating from college, the trio decided to create a hard seltzer that was distinctly Latino. Ricardo Sucre and Gustavo Darquea explain how the idea for Casalú, a rum-based hard seltzer, was born — and how they took it from a SodaStream to stores all over Florida and Nevada.

Mike Alfaro: Making Lotería cool again with Millennial Lotería

Episode 2

Tuesday, February 6, 2024 • Duration 49:17

Mike Alfaro was home in Guatemala taking a break from his career fast-paced career in advertising in the United States when he saw it: the yellow Lotería game box he used to play all the time growing up. The game held a special place in Mike's heart, but the cards inside the box stood out like a sore thumb. Cards portraying a woman as a reserved woman clad in formal apparel stood at odds with the #MeToo movement that was sweeping the nation at the time. Mike decided to create a "millennial" version of a few Lotería cards for his portfolio. When he shared the drawings on social media, they took off like wildfire. Years later, an actual game-top version would be selling out at Target stores across the country. Learn more about Millennial Lotería at millennialloteria.com, follow Mike at @millennialloteria and explore his new venture at @sisabokids.

Gary Acosta: Building a SXSW for Latinos with L'ATTITUDE

Episode 12

Tuesday, June 25, 2024 • Duration 57:59

What do music mogul Emilio Estefan, filmmaker Robert Rodriguez and Oscar Muñoz, the first Latino CEO of United Airlines, have in common? They’ve all done business with Gary Acosta, a man who Hispanic Business Magazine has named as one of 100 most influential Hispanics in the United States. Gary Acosta has been on a 20-plus year mission to increase Hispanic homeownership. In 2001, he co-founded the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals or NAHREP. Today, NAHREP is one of the largest Hispanic business organizations in the country with more than 40,000 members and 100 local chapters. Since co-founding NAHREP, the businessman has launched the Hispanic Wealth Project, which aims to boost the economic status of Latinos, and L’ATTITUDE, his most ambitious project to date, which aims to be SXSW for Latinos. In our last season one episode of Bísness School, Gary tells us what he learned from playing D3 college basketball under Gregg Poppovich, the many ways the financial crisis of 2008 crushed his organization overnight and then supercharged it, and why he and his co-founder call Latinos the “new mainstream economy.”

We'll be back with new episodes this fall. Go back to our feed and listen to previous episodes in the meantime, and above all, enjoy your summer break from Bísness School!
