Together, Fintech and NBWA bring collaborative programs and resources to beer distributors across the country.

Since the relationship’s inception in 2014, Fintech and NBWA have significantly impacted the United States beer industry.

They’re a great organization, and they truly mirror our passion for providing cutting-edge resources to the beer industry,” said Tad Phelps, Chief Executive Officer of Fintech. “This relationship affords both Fintech and NBWA the opportunity to grow our networks and help distributors nationwide improve operational efficiencies and data insights.”

In addition to continued joint marketing efforts and participation in the NBWA Annual Convention, the new three-year agreement affords NBWA members a discount on annual Fintech support and maintenance fees.

Industry Powerhouses Launch New U.S. Latino Podcast Company–Pitaya Entertainment

February 16, 2021

PITAYA ENTERTAINMENT - A NEW U.S. LATINO PODCAST COMPANY

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Five powerhouse executives from the entertainment, podcasting, and advertising industries have joined forces to create Pitaya Entertainment, a new company dedicated to producing podcasts for U.S. Latinos. Pitaya Entertainment launches with six podcast series featuring some of the most popular Latino personalities in entertainment–including television stars, award-winning comedians, and major YouTube influencers–with a combined social media following of more than 27.5 million. All six series were released in the last two weeks, all debuting on the Apple Podcast charts, with two becoming the #1 and #2 most popular Spanish-language podcasts on Apple’s Top 200 podcasts chart in the U.S.

“While podcasts are exploding in popularity in the U.S., the Latino podcast audience is underserved and underdeveloped, and Latino voices are seriously underrepresented in podcasting. Pitaya Entertainment aims to change that by bringing podcasts to the forefront of the Latino community,” said Zach Horowitz, Managing Partner and Co-Founder.

All of Pitaya Entertainment’s initial podcasts will be weekly series using an unscripted talk show format and hosted by well-known Latino personalities with a large and devoted fan base, both in traditional media and online.

Most of the series will be in Spanish, with some in English or Spanglish, but all are for and about Latinos. All will be free to listeners and available worldwide on multiple platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, Pandora, and Pitaya Entertainment’s website, pitaya.fm.

Pitaya Entertainment’s podcast hosts are as diverse as the U.S. Latino community itself, with the debuting series featuring Mexican-Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cuban-Americans, and Venezuelan-Americans. What all the hosts have in common is a deep and powerful connection with their fans.

The six initial series are:

Giselle Blondet, the beloved Puerto Rican actress and T.V. host, and her daughter, Gabriella Pabón, a recent mother herself, co-host ¡Ay, Mamá!, a candid and heartfelt Spanish-language podcast series about the joys and challenges of motherhood. A star for over 30 years, Giselle’s popularity spans generations. ¡Ay, Mama! debuted at #3 on Apple Podcasts’ U.S. Parenting chart and as the highest-ranked podcast in Spanish on that list. (https://www.pitaya.fm/ay-mama)

José Eduardo Derbez hosts El Pedcast, a Spanish-language comedy series featuring humorous interviews with colorful guests. José Eduardo, son of actor/comedian Eugenio Derbez and telenovela star Victoria Ruffo, has appeared in numerous films and T.V. shows, including the Amazon Prime hit reality series De Viaje con los Derbez and Unicable’s Terapia de Shock. El Pedast debuted at #32 on the Apple Podcasts U.S. Comedy Interviews chart and at #27 on Apple’s top 100 most popular podcasts charts in Mexico. (https://www.pitaya.fm/el-pedcast)

Alejandra Espinoza, actress, model and T.V. host, and her sister Damaris Jimenez, a life coach, co-host Entre Hermanas, a Spanish language podcast series centered on self-improvement and female empowerment. The sisters draw upon their journeys, chronicling their paths to becoming inspirational role models. Entre Hermanas debuted as the second most popular Spanish language podcast in the U.S. on Apple’s Top 200 podcasts chart and the sixth most popular podcast in any language on Apple’s U.S. Education chart. (https://www.pitaya.fm/entre-hermanas)

Ana Patricia Gámez hosts Ana Patricia Sin Filtro, a revealing Spanish-language podcast series about the lessons learned during a remarkable life as a first-generation Mexican immigrant, beauty queen, T.V. star, businesswoman, wife, and mother. In its first week, the show debuted as the highest-ranked Spanish language podcast in the U.S. on Apple’s Top 200 podcasts chart and the #5 most popular podcast in any language on Apple’s U.S. Education chart. (https://www.pitaya.fm/sinfiltro)

Jomari Goyso, the renowned beauty and fashion expert and co-star of the popular T.V. show Sal y Pimienta, hosts Sin Rodeo, a Spanish language podcast of free-ranging conversations with celebrities, friends, and lifestyle experts. Every week, Jomari and his guests will motivate listeners to think outside the box and see life differently. Sin Rodeo debuted at #1 on the Apple Podcasts U.S. Entertainment News chart. (https://www.pitaya.fm/sinrodeo)

Joanna Hausmann, a Venezuelan-American, and Jenny Lorenzo, a Cuban-American, co-host the English language series Hyphenated, exploring what it means to live in the “hyphen” that connects American and Latino culture. The award-winning Latina millennial comedians are known for their humorous videos inspired by their Latino heritage. Hyphenated debuted at #46 on the highly competitive Apple Podcasts U.S. Comedy chart and was the highest-ranked podcast about Latinos and the Latino experience on that list. (https://www.pitaya.fm/hyphenated-1)

“Latinos want programming that speaks to their interests and authentically connects in-culture. Our podcasts give them just that—culturally relevant and popular hosts whose passionate fans will now be able to engage with them weekly through our shows,” said Diana Mejia-Jones, Co-Founder & Partner.

Pitaya Entertainment’s five principals are a virtual dream team with over 100 years of high-level experience in successfully developing and promoting talent and programming in the entertainment and podcasting industries, with a special focus on Latino entertainment.

Zach Horowitz is the former long-time President & Chief Operating Officer of Universal Music Group, the world’s largest music entertainment company. He started the U.S. Latin music division at Universal Music and championed its growth to become the industry market leader. He also co-wrote and co-produced the Latin Grammy-nominated Los Tigres del Norte at Folsom Prison, Netflix’s fourth most-watched documentary in Mexico in 2019. He is the Managing Partner of the company.

Guillermo Santiso is the former head of Fonovisa Records, one of the world’s leading Latin record companies. He developed such multi-platinum artists as Enrique Iglesias, Marco Antonio Solís, and Los Tigres del Norte. He is currently the Executive Vice President of Campanario Entertainment, the Latinx T.V. and digital content production company responsible for Netflix’s Selena: The Series.

Andy Bowers is a podcast pioneer who’s been called “the godfather of the podcasting industry” by the New York Times Magazine. He founded one of the first professional podcasting networks at Slate.com in 2005 and built it into a significant force. He then co-founded podcast industry giant Megaphone, which Spotify purchased in 2020. Bowers has created and developed dozens of successful podcasts and has overseen podcast partnerships with Malcolm Gladwell, The Wall Street Journal, Vox, Vanity Fair, Netflix, HBO, Politico, and Buzzfeed.

Diana Mejia-Jones is a top Latina marketing, advertising, and branded entertainment expert with almost 20 years in the field. She is currently the V.P. of Spanish Development and Integrated Marketing at Campanario Entertainment, where she develops and produces original T.V. series and films for the Latin market. She has secured tens of millions of dollars in brand marketing endorsements and licensing programs targeting U.S. Latinos.

Jordi Oliveres is an award-winning producer and media executive. He comes to Pitaya Entertainment from Univision Communications, where he developed digital video series at Fusion T.V., started the online music magazine TrackRecord, and negotiated important celebrity endorsement deals. He will serve as General Manager of the company.

“As a team, the principals of Pitaya Entertainment bring extraordinary insights into the Latin culture, unparalleled business and entrepreneurial skills, and a deep network of contacts in podcasting, entertainment, and advertising,” said Guillermo Santiso, Co-Founder & Partner.

Over 100 million people in the U.S. now listen to podcasts every month— double the number from five years earlier. U.S. podcast ad revenue has been consistently growing at double-digit rates, even in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. In 2021 U.S. ad revenue is expected to surpass $1 billion for the first time.

Latinos significantly lag in podcast awareness and consumption compared to the general market, with recent surveys finding that 55% have not yet tried a podcast and 39% have not yet heard of the term. This represents a fertile opportunity for growth.

Said Andy Bowers, Co-Founder & Partner, “The Latino podcast audience is a sleeping giant. The only things keeping it from awakening are a shortage of high-quality shows aimed at these listeners and a robust effort to raise awareness of the medium. Pitaya Entertainment intends to be a leader in both areas.”

Said Jordi Oliveres, Co-Founder & Partner, “U.S. Latinos represent over 18% of the U.S. population, with 1.7 trillion dollars in purchasing power. They are driving culture, entertainment, and commerce. Our podcasts will offer Latinos high-quality programs and provide marketers with fantastic opportunities to reach this important consumer group.”

Toyota Racing Premieres ‘The Dream’

February 16, 2021

Toyota Racing unveils a short film entitled, ‘The Dream.’

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida, Feb. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As NASCAR kicked off one of the biggest days of the season with the running of the 63rd Daytona 500, Toyota took a moment to encourage the youth of America to find their dream and pursue it.

Yesterday, Toyota Racing unveiled a short film entitled, ‘The Dream.’ It tells a story of a young, African-American girl looking to achieve her dream of becoming a race car driver. She battles back from adversity and overcomes challenges along the way. With inspiration from the historic victory by 19-year old Gracie Trotter, who became the first female driver to win an ARCA-sanctioned race in September, and the return of Bubba Wallace to the Toyota family, our star realizes that her dream is within reach.

“To be back with Toyota this season and be a part of the Toyota Racing family means a lot to me,” said Bubba Wallace, driver of the No. 23 DoorDash Toyota Camry for 23XI Racing. “What they do on the track is top notch, but it goes beyond the track too. It’s really cool to be a part of things like ‘The Dream’ and their initiatives off the track that align with my own beliefs and how I want to influence the next generation. ‘The Dream’ show others, no matter the circumstances or who you are, to keep fighting and follow your dreams. It may not always be easy, but it will be worth it. It’s a pretty special piece. It’s inspiring, emotional and something that I’m proud to be a part of.”

Toyota has a long history of diversity in motorsports and continues to support several drivers of various ethnicities across all of our motorsports platforms. J.R. Todd, Antron Brown and Alexis DeJoria have established many firsts in motorsports as they all compete for Toyota in the NHRA Drag Racing Series. Jhonnattan Castro and Ken Gushi compete in Formula DRIFT while Trotter and Kaylee Bryson are working their way through the TRD (Toyota Racing Development) driver development ranks in ARCA, late models and USAC racing events.

“Toyota’s commitment to diversity in motorsports aligns with our overall corporate commitment of respect for people,” said Paul Doleshal, group manager of motorsports and assets for Toyota Motor North America. “This film is something we’re all extremely proud of and is a small reminder for everyone to find their dream and pursue it regardless of the challenges that might be in their path. We will continue to look for ways to bring this film to life and help to encourage young people to pursue their passions, especially if that leads them to this great world of motorsports.”

The complete short film was produced in collaboration with whatnot Films out of Charlotte, N.C. and will reside on the Toyota Racing social channels of Twitter and Facebook along with YouTube. A special 60-second condensed version was featured on Fox during the Daytona 500 broadcast.

A link to the full film can be found here: https://youtu.be/wI_QIPRkBBs

Bekha Bon.’s new book Juventud Incauta, a poignant recounting of a woman thrust into a life of crime and incarceration at a very young age

February 16, 2021

NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Juventud Incauta was created by Bekha Bon. Bekha is an author who was born in Havana, Cuba. After having lived both positive and negative experiences, she decided to put them at the service of humanity, hoping that her trajectory could serve others.

Bekha Bon. said this about his book: “These pages bring together the heartbreaking story of a young Spanish woman named Rosario who, at only nineteen years old, was dragged by organized crime in Bolivia into an abyss of hardship within the different prisons in which she served her sentence on North American soil. This fact placed Bekha Bon in the citizen’s commitment to narrate a chronicle that speaks of the imminent danger faced by many of the young people—those who, attracted by the adventure they imagine they will find and the prosperity they dream of, end up entangled in twisted networks that crime professionals constantly weave; those who daily reinvent new ways and means with the sole purpose of transporting their cargo to US soil. Unconscionable efforts, which end up turning our boys into ‘blind pack mules,’ usually end up paying for a crime they did not actually commit.

The story is not a simple story; it is the only way that she found to reach people—a truth that many do not want to talk about. Using this event as a vehicle, she exposes the harsh reality of those who, when caught, end up being victims of this growing scourge.

The book is aimed at young people eager for adventure—those who fear nothing—to whom their unconsciousness and folly can become their worst enemies. However, the plot presented in this story will arouse the interest of any reader regardless of age, gender, or literary preferences.”

Published by Page Publishing, Bekha Bon.’s new book Juventud Incauta follows the harrowing life of a young woman who only knew the toils of crime and bondage—a riveting depiction of real-life circumstances of people stained by corruption.

Consumers who wish to view a person’s journey from grace to downfall that greatly affected her life can purchase Juventud Incauta online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Rubert Jose Figueredo Michelangelli’s new book “Volver a empezar” shares a migrant’s challenging years of pursuing success

February 15, 2021

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Feb. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — How many times have we had to start the journey towards obtaining a goal again because things did not go as planned?

Our life is full of plans, but we must always keep in mind that the route is very changeable, and that unexpected reversal of the rudder in the trajectory, reengineering of personal projects and in general, trying to get up before a fall, on many occasions can wear us out and weaken us as a person, because it involves facing resistance to the unknown, letting go of attachments and even winning the battle against stress or depression.

This work is the experience of a Venezuelan migrant who has to leave his loved ones, goods, and temporarily withdraw from the exercise of his profession as an engineer-businessman, to dedicate himself to various trades such as cleaner, kitchen assistant, food delivery person and sports coach in a first world country like the USA.

The idea is not to try to describe a manual on how to carry out a successful migration, but rather to show through stories the strategies that the author used to face the obstacles that were presented to him on a playing field with different rules. So, if you suffered the breakdown of a love relationship, this book is for you! If you are grieving for having lost your job, this book is for you! If sadness invades your soul for having failed a subject in your university, this book is for you! Any situation that distresses you for not having obtained the expected results preserves the essence of what is exposed here. We are in this together and surrendering is not an option, take these anecdotes as examples that even when they called us the third strike we will always have a next at-bat, if they gave us a knock out, life will give us revenge, in short, there will always be the opportunity to optimistically write the beginning of a new chapter that will be titled: Start Over.
