The Honorable Mark L. Madrid, former U.S. Small Business Administration Associate Administrator and Founder & CEO of Breakthrough Mavens, LLC, has entered a strategic partnership with Latinhub TV, an AI media company. The collaboration positions Madrid as Latinhub's Chief Sports & Small Business Ambassador and Advisory Board Member, integrating his entrepreneurship platform, relationship capital, and AI and media portfolio into a global expansion effort. The announcement was made at an Austin event that also launched Madrid's new books, 'The AI Transformation' and 'DISCIPLINE-Don't Get Hung Up on the Word!'.
Central to the partnership is the world premiere of 'Markitos For the People,' an AI-powered digital twin of Madrid produced as a microdrama by Steve Mudd, CEO of Talentless AI. The series translates Madrid's 'white-collar experience and blue-collar DNA' into an AI-enabled storytelling format designed for media expansion and brand activation. It debuted on Latinhub TV, which also officially launched on Saturday. 'Markitos is a sample of the microdrama production we can do with artificial intelligence,' said Eduardo Velasco, CEO of Latinhub TV. 'The alliance connects Madrid's ecosystem—Breakthrough Mavens, Self-Fueling Excellence™, and Small Business is BIG Business—with Latinhub TV's media infrastructure. This collaboration transforms ideas into content, content into activation, and activation into enterprise.'
The implications of this partnership extend beyond media production. By leveraging AI to create scalable, culturally resonant content, Madrid and Latinhub TV aim to democratize access to entrepreneurial storytelling and business resources. Madrid's 'Economic Architect for America's Next 250' initiative seeks to keep entrepreneurs central to national competitiveness ahead of the 250th anniversary of the United States, focusing on Human Capability, Technological Adoption, Economic Prosperity, and Global Reach. The Austin event kicked off a three-city tour continuing September 13 in Las Vegas and culminating in Washington, D.C., underscoring the partnership's ambition to influence economic policy and business innovation on a national scale.
Latinhub TV, powered by Agentic TV, operates as a content engine monetized across multiple screens, including Roku & OTT, in-store DOOH, web, mobile, and social media, as well as Bodegas TV, its NYC-branded point-of-sale network. This multi-platform reach ensures that the content produced through the partnership can engage Hispanic audiences and beyond. Madrid's role as a bestselling author and Entrepreneur-in-Residence at NMSDC, along with his advisory positions, further amplifies the partnership's potential to drive enterprise growth. As Madrid stated, 'Visibility is valuable. Enterprise is transformational. This partnership is about converting trusted relationships, powerful stories and emerging technology into opportunity at scale.' The collaboration exemplifies how AI and strategic alliances can redefine media, entrepreneurship, and economic development in the digital age.
