Jack sits down with Latinos En Roofing Founder Amparo Sancen.
Amparo worked as a medical assistant for years after moving to the U.S. and was quickly inspired to enter construction after getting to know a number of clients in that industry. With her limited knowledge and lack of resources, she eventually quit her job and made the leap.
Within six months, she had learned enough to get into the remodeling business. Eight months later, she forayed into roofing. She made every rookie mistake imaginable but stayed undeterred.
In 2016, she moved to Texas, determined to rebuild her roofing venture, hungry to learn as much as she could about building a strong, profitable business. Today, beyond her own business, she’s taken on the responsibility of inspiring and educating Latinos around the country to find entrepreneurial success in the world of roofing and construction.
Listen in as Amparo shares what holds many people in their community back from pursuing their dreams as business owners, from systemic issues to cultural and mindset-related obstacles. She explains how Latinos En Roofing quickly grew from a tiny community to a massive, multifaceted event regularly hosted in various cities around the country.
