3rd edition. Detroit. And this one felt different.

Latino Voices in Tech is not about panels or pitch decks. It’s about stepping up, sharing your story and leaving people with something real.

Short talks. Real journeys. No filters.

What people shared in that room — the risks, the pivots, the decisions — that’s what stayed.

Big thank you to:
David R. Medina Álvarez ( )
Ezequiel “Zeke” Darre (.ai )
Danette Duron-Willner ( )

And to everyone who helped make this happen — , .ai , .space
luisa78 that co-facilitation flow worked.
, always holding it down behind the scenes.

This is what we’re building: a space where voices matter.

More coming soon.

“Can you please fail?". One of the principles of is to fail fast and fail cheap. And yet, we usually cringe when we hear about failure and live in fear of it but failure it’s not a bad thing. It's part of the learning process. Remember: build, measure and learn.. and iterate while doing it.
So this is a new word to add to your vocabulary, 'Mustakes'. Let’s get to work and nail it this week ahead guys.

A designer is a person who asks why, and in the meantime is not afraid to ask stupid questions. ⁣
⁣
Never underestimate the importance of rationalizing people’s motivations, needs, and opinions. ⁣We all come from different backgrounds and have a unique outlook and perspective.
As a Design Thinker, you should not take your judgement for granted. ⁣Instead, try to understand people’s Why!

When you want to understand how to Add Value to your customer, the value proposition canvas, developed by Alex Osterwalder at , is one of the best tools available.

Follow this simple 2-step-process:

ONE: always begin with the customer. First, have a conversation with your team about who your customer is. Think of what customers have to do. Don’t just think about functional JOBS-TO-BE-DONE. Also, come up with social (work with others) and emotional (feelings) jobs-to-be-done. PAINS: What gets in the way of a person’s jobs? GAINS: the hidden ambitions people have, their goals in life, things that make them happy.

TWO: Now, move over to the left side of the canvas to answer: WHAT VALUE COULD YOU CREATE? First, list some options that potentially address the job-to-be-done that come to mind. You combine these ideas into a clearly defined PRODUCT/SERVICE that creates GAIN and relieves PAIN such that the job-to-be-done is addressed in a unique way that resonates with your customer.

Usualmente tenemos muchos planes que no llevamos a la acción, o muchas ideas que nunca aterrizamos y se quedan en eso: “en ideas”. Para muchos procrastinar se ha vuelto una norma de vida.
•
Por eso, enfócate en el primer cuadrante superior izquierdo, pero más importante, enfócate en el del lado derecho: planea, actúa y vuelve esa acción una urgencia (hábito).
•
Con objetivos claros, planeación y acción, no hay meta ni sueño inalcanzable. Happy Monday everyone!
