Show Notes

In this powerful episode of Coffeez for Closers, we sit down with Frank López and Edder Barcenas—the visionary founders behind Negozi, the fastest-growing business platform for Hispanic entrepreneurs in the U.S.

What started as a passion project is now a thriving ecosystem of over 40,000 members—with in-person events, job boards, and a mission to educate and empower the undocumented community through entrepreneurship.

We talk real:

- Running a legal business without legal status

- Building “the Latino LinkedIn” from scratch

- Launching Negozee Life to democratize life insurance and financial tools

- Why financial education is the greatest equalizer

- And how to build generational wealth—even if you're undocumented

This one’s all about vision, grit, community—and breaking cycles of limitation.


Top producers at E Mortgage Capital are earning more per deal—with faster closings, better tech, and no junk fees.
