A space to highlight leadership with impact
In this episode of the Strive 305 Podcast in Spanish, Yamilet Rivas, President of the Women’s Chamber of Commerce in the United States, talks with Arantxa Jordan, entrepreneur and mentor committed to developing women leaders. Joined by co-host Jennifer Matute, the interview delves into Arantxa’s journey as an entrepreneur, her vision of female leadership, and the strategies she has implemented to access capital and professional growth opportunities.
Preparation as a tool for empowerment
From the start, Arantxa emphasizes the importance of recognizing one’s own value and learning to communicate it strategically—especially in spaces where women have traditionally been underrepresented. One of the key moments of the episode comes when she discusses how to prepare to apply for funding: understanding business metrics, articulating a clear proposal, and building trust through knowledge.
Networks that strengthen and create opportunities
Another highlight is her focus on building intentional support networks, where collaboration among women goes beyond emotional support and becomes a channel for generating tangible opportunities. Arantxa stresses that leadership is not just about holding a position—it’s about impacting others through example, consistency, and purpose.
Breaking barriers through education and confidence
The conversation also addresses the invisible barriers many women face in their entrepreneurial journey, and how financial education, access to mentors, and self-confidence are key pillars to overcome them. Arantxa encourages women entrepreneurs not to wait to be invited to the table, but to build their own space through knowledge and determination.
An episode that informs, connects, and inspires
This episode is part of the Strive 305 program, an initiative from Miami-Dade County designed to strengthen small businesses, and in its Spanish version, aims to bring these resources closer to the Latino community of South Florida.
