In this episode, Rob and Ileana are joined by Ana Cecy Mata Rodriguez, Sub directora de Fomento Económico del Municipio de Saltillo. Ana Cecy is a passionate community leader and one of the key voices of entrepreneurship and economic development in the Saltillo region of Mexico. She shares some inspiring thoughts regarding modern day feminism, as well as her strong beliefs that Mexican culture needs to stop normalizing all types of "violence" against women as a mechanism to create more prosperity. Ana had a business career thrust upon her at a young age, following the passing of her father from cancer, and went on to build multiple successful companies, as a woman executive, in male dominated industries. 

She is currently helping developing the regions’ entrepreneurial economy from her position within the government, but has previously held leadership positions at the Universidad Carolina, as Coordinadora General de Universidad del Trabajador, an advisor to the Zona SHERO program via Tecnológico de Monterrey, and as co- founder /CEO of Innobakü Consultores, where she helps social entrepreneurs to professionalize their social startup.
