On this episode of the Silicon Slopes Podcast, Clint meets with Gonzalo Peña Jr. who is an amazing storyteller and the host of the InnoLatino Podcast. With a community-first mindset, Gonzalo is an advocate for equal opportunities and his passion for diversity and innovation is contagious. In 2016, he realized that technology is a key element to bring people out of poverty. Using this knowledge in tandem with the rising businesses of Silicon Slopes, he's helping Latino people find opportunities in the tech sector. They discuss navigating social integration and how cultural differences can be an advantage to teams, rather than divisiveness. "After I started interacting with the business community among the Latino people in Utah, I felt a sort of commitment because I saw talent and I saw brilliant people and people with good moral values that just wanted to fulfill the American dream, to be honest. Just like I had that commitment to pay it forward, I wanted to do that with my own people."
