Stepheny is a powerhouse Latina who is speaking at our LatinTalks event in Houston this week. She is an entrepreneur, a wife, a mother, an advocate for women, and so much more. I have loved meeting her and hearing her story because how it started is so relatable to so many members of the Latin community in the U.S. From becoming a mother as a teenager, to opening her first business at age 18, to realizing she needed to evolve her mindset in order to increase her success, she has walked the path to excellence and taken responsibility for her life.

I met Ruben when he reached out to me after hearing about the series we are doing, Latin Talks. He convinced me that it was essential we bring the event to El Paso, where he is based, and I’m excited for you to hear his perspective as a business owner and leader in his community.

Ruben Alvarez is the founder and co-owner of The Marketing Hunters, a Marketing / Advertising Agency based out of Surprise, Arizona and El Paso, Texas. He started this company because he saw a giant need to help businesses grow through digital marketing and better branding. 

​For the last 9 years, they have worked with B2B and B2C customers that allow them to understand their sales model and what will allow it to reach more clients.  Whether you work with distributors, installers, dealers, or go straight to market, they know exactly what will work for each different consumer.
