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, a new AI media company. The collaboration, announced at an Austin event, positions Madrid as Latinhub's Chief Sports & Small Business Ambassador and Advisory Board Member, integrating his entrepreneurship platform and AI portfolio into Latinhub's global expansion. The partnership matters because it signals a growing trend of leveraging artificial intelligence and media to scale small business opportunities and economic impact worldwide.
"Visibility is valuable. Enterprise is transformational," Madrid said. "This partnership is about converting trusted relationships, powerful stories and emerging technology into opportunity at scale." The Austin event also launched Madrid's new books, 'The AI Transformation' and 'DISCIPLINE-Don't Get Hung Up on the Word!', further establishing him as a thought leader in enterprise AI adoption and entrepreneurial discipline.
A centerpiece of the announcement was the world premiere of 'Markitos For the People,' Madrid's AI-powered digital twin, 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 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."
Latinhub TV, operated by Agentic TV, is a content engine monetized across multiple platforms, including Roku & OTT, in-store DOOH, web, mobile, and social media, as well as Bodegas TV, its NYC-branded point-of-sale network. This distribution network provides extensive reach into the Hispanic audience, offering a powerful channel for Madrid's message. The partnership's impact extends to readers and entrepreneurs by showcasing how AI can be used to create scalable media and business opportunities.

The collaboration kicked off a three-city tour that began in Austin, continues September 13 in Las Vegas, and culminates in Washington, D.C. Madrid, as Economic Architect for America's Next 250, aims to keep entrepreneurs central to the nation's competitiveness ahead of the 250th anniversary, focusing on Human Capability, Technological Adoption, Economic Prosperity, and Global Reach. This initiative underscores the importance of small businesses in driving economic growth and innovation. Madrid also serves as Entrepreneur-in-Residence at NMSDC, Senior Executive Advisor to First National Bank of Bastrop (Texas), and host of 'Small Business is BIG Business with Mark L. Madrid,' streaming on Roku and Amazon Fire. His books, 'The AI Transformation' and 'DISCIPLINE,' are available for secure purchase. The partnership between Breakthrough Mavens and Latinhub TV represents a forward-looking approach to enterprise, blending AI, media, and entrepreneurship to create scalable impact.
