In the latest episode of the Strive305 Podcast, hosted by our president and founder Yamilet Rivas alongside co-host Jennifer Matute, we had the honor of welcoming Eileen Higgins, Commissioner for District 5 of Miami-Dade County.
During this conversation, Commissioner Higgins shared the initiatives that are strengthening the local business ecosystem, such as the Elevate District 5 program, which has benefited more than 800 entrepreneurs through:
- Free training sessions on key topics like artificial intelligence, marketing, and finance.
- Accessible loan funds with low interest rates for small businesses.
- Grants and resources to strengthen local enterprises.
- Business development programs, including preparation for securing county contracts.
We also discussed vital issues for our community such as affordable housing, sustainability, and the importance of continuing to build an inclusive and prosperous Miami for all.
