Cesar was a civil rights, Latino, farm worker, and labor leader; a religious and spiritual figure; a community servant and social entrepreneur; a crusader for nonviolent social change; and an environmentalist and consumer advocate. In 1968, Chavez gained attention as leader of a nationwide boycott of California table grapes in a drive to achieve labor contracts. He fasted for 25 days in 1968 to affirm his own personal commitment and that of the farm labor movement to non-violence. He fasted again for 25 days in 1972, and in 1988, at the age of 61, he endured a 36-day "Fast for Life" to highlight the harmful impact of pesticides on farm workers and their children.
Cesar's life as a community organizer began in 1952 when he joined the Community Service Organization (CSO), a prominent Latino civil rights group. While with the CSO, Cesar coordinated voter registration drives and conducted campaigns against racial and economic discrimination primarily in urban areas. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Cesar served as CSO's national director.
Cesar's dream, however, was to create an organization to protect and serve farm workers, whose poverty and disenfranchisement he had shared. In 1962, Cesar resigned from the CSO to found the National Farm Workers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers of America.
For more than three decades Cesar led the first successful farm workers union in American history, achieving dignity, respect, fair wages, medical coverage, pension benefits, and humane living conditions, as well as countless other rights and protections for hundreds of thousands of farm workers. Against previously insurmountable odds, he led successful strikes and boycotts that resulted in the first industry-wide labor contracts in the history of American agriculture. His union's efforts brought about the passage of the groundbreaking 1975 California Agricultural Labor Relations Act to protect farm workers. Today, it remains the only law in the nation that protects the farm workers' right to unionize.
The significance and impact of Cesar's life transcends any one cause or struggle. He was a unique and humble leader, in addition to being a great humanitarian and communicator who influenced and inspired millions of Americans to seek social justice and civil rights for the poor and disenfranchised in our society. Cesar forged a diverse and extraordinary national coalition of students, middle class consumers, trade unionists, religious groups, and minorities.
His motto in life â "SĂ Se Puede!" (it can be done!) â embodies the uncommon and invaluable legacy he left for the world's benefit.

This bonus episode is President John F. Kennedy's first state of the union address to Congress on January 30, 1961, 10 days after his inauguration. It is also 13 days after President Eisenhower gave his farewell address and which this podcast released two weeks ago on August 7, 2024. It will be interesting for listeners to hear the two speeches back to back.
In the speech President Kennedy discusses his concerns regarding the economic recession, the depreciation of the American dollar, the need for federal aid in education and scientific research, and Congressâ duty to respond to domestic issues, such as civil rights and clean water supplies. The President also discusses the possible spread of communism in Asia and Latin America, the need to restore peace in the Republic of Congo, and his plan for Cold War diplomacy, which focuses on the use of new military, economic, and political tools to meet potential challenges from the Soviet Union or Communist China.

This bonus episode is President Dwight D. Eisenhower's farewell address to the nation on January 17, 1961 - three days before JFK's inauguration.
When the United States entered WWII, Dwight D. Eisenhower was the Chief of Staff for the Third Army. Less than four years later, he was a 5-star general who commanded millions of soldiers, sailors, and airmen from a broad Allied coalition becoming one of the most influential generals in American history. Eisenhower planned and supervised two of the most consequential military campaigns of World War II: Operation Torch in North Africa and the invasion of Normandy in 1944.
Following the German unconditional surrender, Eisenhower was appointed military governor of the American-occupied zone of Germany. Upon discovery of the Nazi concentration camps, he ordered camera crews to document evidence for use in the Nuremberg Trials.
In 1948 he became President of Columbia University in New York City. In 1951 President Truman sensed a broad-based desire for an Eisenhower candidacy for president, and pressed him to run for the office as a Democrat in 1951. But Eisenhower voiced his disagreements with Democrats and declared himself to be a Republican. In 1952, Eisenhower won the election with an electoral margin of 442 to 89, marking the first Republican return to the White House in 20 years and won re-election in 1956.
Under his watch, the Interstate Highway System was established, the Space Race kicked-off, we fought the Korean War which was a manifestation of the Cold War stance in the bi-polar world that served as a backdrop for the foreign policies of his administration.
Eisenhower was born in Denison, Texas and raised in Abilene, Kansas. He graduated from West Point in 1915. During WWI he was denied a request to serve in Europe and instead commanded a unit that trained tank crews.

BEATRIZâS BIO
Beatriz sometimes wears a black t-shirt with two simple words - âLa Jefaâ, en ingles, The Boss. And that, she has been, and continues to be as a serial founder, CEO, trailblazing, Emmy-winning remarkable woman. In her words: âIn my life journey, I've always strived not just for personal achievements but to reshape narratives and champion the next generation of Latino leaders.â She has done just that.
Her career began in Mexico, as an 8 year old (yes 8!) radio announcer. Beatriz moved to the U.S. in her early 20s, by then she had won 3 Emmy and an MTV award. She has started several companies, including MiTu and her current venture Suma Wealth - collectively raising over $55 million for the ventures she has led and founded, one focused on media & entertainment representation, the other on economic empowerment - but they are in fact intertwined. Very few people raise any money for their ventures, let alone tens of millions, and as a Latina she is one of a handful.
She is a regular contributor on NBC News, Forbes, Fast Company, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times where she talks about representation, capital access, entrepreneurship, Latinos and the American economy. Beatriz has also appeared on Guy Raz's âHow I Built Thisâ, Eva Longoriaâs Connections Podcast, and LinkedIn News âHello Mondayâ.
She currently serves on the boards of Beneficial State Bank, the Latino Community Foundation, and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Committee among others . She also leads the Acevedo Foundation, initiated by her father in Mexico three decades ago, now focuses on education, representation, economic empowerment, and enabling access to capital for emerging Latino entrepreneurs and leaders.
SUMA Wealth, where she serves as CEO & Co-founder, is attempting to seize on a $182B opportunity â young U.S. Latinos through a fintech platform that expertly combines financial tools with culturally relevant financial education. This unique, community-driven approach has paved the way for collaborations with the largest financial institutions in the world and has about 1 million users.

NICKâS BIO
Between growing up in a northern England rural town to leading global insights and analytics for one of the most successful consumer products companies in the world â a lot happens. This is the case for Nick Graham, a remarkable student of human behavior, societal trends and consumer taste. Nick studied History & French at Oxford University which somehow led him to start a career in the world of marketing, first as an advertising planner at GCI Media then InterPublic Group, pivoting later to brand & innovation strategy at Clear, the M&C Saatchiâs strategy division.
That foundation led him to spend almost 10 years at PepsiCo where he led insights and analytics for the companyâs global beverages business followed by running insights & analytics for the US business unit of the consumer products giant. He oversaw the reinvention and redesign of the Pepsi brand as well as the companyâs strategic shift to new categories like sparkling water (Bubly with $100 million in 1st year sales), energy drinks (Rockstar), protein/sports drinks (Muscle Milk), coffee & tea (Starbucks partnership). He is currently Senior Vice President and Global Head of Insights & Analytics at Mondelez International (âSnacking Made Rightâ). The companyâs brands include Oreos, Chips Ahoy, Clif Bar, Wheat Thins, Cadbury, Milka and Ritz Crackers. His focus, a big one: transforming the function, integrating data science, AI and behavioral economics to help the business understand the shifts the company needs to make to meet future consumer demand.
We talk about marketing, brands, human behavior, innovation, artificial intelligence and the fact that humans innately try to achieve balance in life - including the spectrum of what we consume to nourish ourselves. There is a place for kale salads and probiotics as well as the indulgence and satisfaction that comes with opening an Oreo cookie, licking the frosty cream and chomping on the chocolaty cookie goodness - a source of much debate around the world.

On Memorial Day we thank the men and women who perished defending our freedom and liberty with a beautiful rendition of God Bless America and short speeches from President Reagan and President Clinton. They touch on the values we share, things we hold dear, and our duty to remember their ultimate sacrifice. Since the American Revolutionary War (our first) until today, about 2.3 million Americans have fallen âhalf of them during three wars: the Civil War, WWI and WWII. We remember them all.
