Did you know Latinos are the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs in the United States? In Bísness School, NBC and Telemundo join forces to tell the stories of some of the most inspiring Latino founders. Hosted by journalist Fernando Hurtado, Bísness School highlights business owners across all industries, from entertainment to publishing and food. It sounds like business school, but it’s not. You can think of Bísness School as a lowercase MBA with uppercase guests. And while business school is expensive, Bísness School is free. Look out for new episodes every other Tuesday.
Many know Pepe Aguilar as the Grammy-winning artist whose last name is almost synonymous with Mexican music. What many don't know is that more than 20 years ago, Aguilar launched his own record label, Equinoccio Records, followed years later by Machín Records. Aguilar joins Bísness School to explain why he broke off from the big music labels early on in his career, what business lessons he learned from his parents, Antonio Aguilar and Flor Silvestre, and why he says his kids have the best contracts in the music industry.
