TEDxManagua – Empower, Elaine Miranda / Personal Finance -TEDx

Hello Potential Millionaire community, today we have a special post.  A few weeks ago I was participating in the No. 1 event in personal finance in the United States of America FINCON15.

I had the opportunity to share with financial pros, the hardcore financial bloggers and podcasters such as Phillip Taylor (PT Money), Pat Flynn (Smart Passive Income), and Steve Stewart (Money Plan SOS). However, what I really most enjoyed was meeting several Latinos who were present at FINCON15:

Note: Alejando Fernandez (Not in Photo)
  • Josiah Ortiz of the Dominican Republic, blogger of “Finance and Projects”
  • Juan Camilo from Colombia of the Accendo Finance
  • Alejandro Fernandez of the Dominican Republic, blogger of Argentarium

But there was a young person from Nicaragua who has gained extensive experience through what we in the Potential Millionaire community know as  “Millionaire Mindset.”

  • Elaine Miranda Blogger of Plata y Platica definitely has mastered the  Millionaire Mindset, so much so that recently Elaine Miranda was one of the speakers at TEDxManagua 2015, where she exposed her doctrine on the Nicaraguan personal finance situation.

I invite you to see her participation in TEDx through the lens of Potential Millionaire TV.   Elaine Miranda TEdxManagua speaks to all Latinos  around the world who speak Spanish.  I have applied the concepts, which Elaine Miranda asks us to raise our fingers at financial actions we should be taking.

Congrats to all Podcasters on the International Podcast Day 

Felix Face HNLEAI have reached financial freedom and the only thing I want is for you to accomplish the same.  Through the application of the concepts of Elaine Miranda, I know that they will take you closer to your dreams.  I invite you to hear more about the Millionaire Mindset in our community podcast, the Potential Millionaire.   I hope you enjoy the video and learn something. I only ask that you put into practice what you’ve learned. Remember, we all are potential millionaires!

“Without Miami Dade, I wouldn’t have been able to go to college because back then I couldn’t afford it and I was an academic failure in high school who only excelled in journalism”

Hispanicize Founder Manny Ruiz inducted into Miami Dade College Alumni Hall of Fame

MIAMI, FL – April 24, 2015 – Hispanicize founder Manny Ruiz was recently inducted into the Miami Dade College Alumni Hall of Fame.

A serial media entrepreneur and award winning marketing professional, journalist and photographer, IMG_2391Ruiz was recognized for his achievements in the field of marketing and advertising. He graduated 23 years ago with an associates in arts degree from Miami Dade College, the largest and most diverse college/university in the nation. The college specifically cited Ruiz’s achievement in creating the annual Hispanicize event, one of the most prestigious gatherings of U.S. Latino influencers in the nation.

“I’m extremely honored to be in the company of many great alumni who got their first big chance at higher education at Miami Dade,” said Ruiz, who was the former co-editor-in-chief of the Metropolis, the nationally recognized college newspaper. “Without Miami Dade, I wouldn’t have been able to go to college because back then I couldn’t afford it and I was an academic failure in high school who only excelled in journalism.”

Ruiz was inducted into the college’s alumni hall of fame at a beautiful gala April 9th alongside 26 other alumni that included doctors, engineers, best-selling authors and more.

Miami Dade College President Dr. Eduardo Padrón personally handed Ruiz his award, something that had a particularly symbolic importance to him.

“It was especially fitting that Dr. Padrón awarded me because our newspaper staff deeply appreciated his commitment to a free press and to funding our newspaper – even when we were critical of school administrators,” said Ruiz. “For many of us who have gone on to become editors and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists, Dr. Padrón is a champion mentor.”IMG_2372

Career Achievements and Past honors

An accomplished media entrepreneur and award-winning communications industry leader, Ruiz has more than 20 years in Hispanic media, marketing, social media and marketing.

In addition to serving as the founder and creative director of the annual event Manny is chairman of the Hispanicize brand of platforms that also include DiMe Media (formerly Latina Mom Bloggers), Hispanicize Wire and the Hispanic PR Blog. In addition, Manny is a large shareholder of the Being Latino platform and publishes his own personal blog PapiBlogger.

A former Miami Herald journalist and Hispanic Public Relations Association (HPRA) PR Professional of the Year, Manny was a part of the Herald team that won a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of Hurricane Andrew. He is frequently featured in national media outlets to discuss business, entertainment and marketing trends, along with parenting from a father’s perspective. Manny has been featured in a host of shows, national media and trade media outlets including CNN en Español, Despierta America, USA Today, NPR, The Miami Herald, and more. He also frequently serves as a national Spanish-language spokesperson for brands include State Farm and Best Western.

Prior to founding the Hispanicize-related platforms, Manny was President of Multicultural Markets and Hispanic PR Wire for PR Newswire. Prior to PR Newswire’s acquisition of Hispanic PR Wire, Hispanic Digital Network and LatinClips in 2008, companies he founded, Ruiz was Chairman and CEO of HispaniMark, the parent company of these three businesses.

Ruiz, who has been named one of the 100 most influential Hispanics in the U.S. by Latino Leaders Magazine and in 2014 was awarded the Key to the City of Miami by Mayor Tomás Regalado for making Miami a magnet for Latino trendsetters and newsmakers. He also received the 2014 Miami Magnet Award by the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) for positively impacting Greater Miami and the beaches.

Prior to founding his various media companies Manny was a professional photographer whose documentary work about Cuba won numerous awards. His photography work has also been exhibited in various South Florida arts institutions including Horstt, Florida International University and Books and Books.

10th Anniversary Of The Annual Conference on Financial Education

Financial Literacy 2.0 – Ensuring Effective Outcomes

By: John C. Linfield, Executive Director

Institute for Financial Literacy

10th Annual Conference on Financial Education, in San Antonio, Texas on April 1-3, 2015! Join fellow financial literacy fanatics as we celebrate this special occasion with door prizes, raffles and special recognition for attendees!

For our 10th anniversary celebration we’re making changes to keep things fresh, exciting and informative.

More Content. We’re adding half a day to the schedule! The first day of the conference will now be a full day rather than our traditional half-day.

More Depth. We’re extending session lengths so presenters and attendees can explore topics in more depth than ever before.

More Practical. We’re re-focusing concurrent session tracks on specific areas of knowledge and skills development, such as Behavioral Economics, Program Development, and Outcome Measurement.

More Hands-On. We’re adding a 2-hour facilitated roundtable workshop so you can brainstorm with your fellow attendees and presenters to develop actionable steps to bring home and begin implementing immediately.

More Networking. We’re adding structured networking opportunities to better support you in meeting new peers, developing professional relationships and identifying potential partnerships. We’re also adding a 1-hour Sponsor Fair to give you more time to speak with sponsors and evaluate the industry resources, products and services that are available.

More Social. We’re adding a low-stress social event so you can “kick back and relax” with fellow attendees and enjoy our host city.

More Value. Despite these changes, the registration fee will remain the same low rate for the third year in a row, giving you even more value for your dollar. Attendance at the annual EIFLE Awards Dinner and Keynote Luncheon will still be included in the basic registration fee.

Please join us to celebrate 10 years of our collective hard work on improving financial literacy in ourselves, our communities and our nation. We look forward to seeing you there!
