Mark L. Madrid Partners with Latinhub TV to Launch AI-Powered 'Markitos' and Expand Global Reach

The Honorable Mark L. Madrid, former U.S. Small Business Administration Associate Administrator and Founder & CEO of Breakthrough Mavens, LLC, has announced a strategic partnership with Latinhub TV, marking a significant step in the convergence of artificial intelligence, media, and small business advocacy. The collaboration, revealed at an Austin event, positions Madrid as Latinhub's Chief Sports & Small Business Ambassador and Advisory Board Member, leveraging his entrepreneurship platform, relationship capital, and AI and media portfolio to drive global expansion. The partnership underscores the growing importance of AI in transforming content creation and business engagement, with implications for how entrepreneurs and media companies can collaborate to reach wider audiences.

At the heart of the announcement 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, which debuted on Latinhub TV, translates Madrid's "white-collar experience and blue-collar DNA" into an AI-enabled storytelling format designed for media expansion and brand activation. This innovative approach demonstrates how AI can be used to create scalable, personalized content that bridges traditional business expertise with modern media consumption habits. As Eduardo Velasco, CEO of Latinhub TV, explained, "Markitos is a sample of the microdrama production we can do with artificial intelligence." The alliance connects Madrid's ecosystem—Breakthrough Mavens, Self-Fueling Excellence™, and Small Business is BIG Business—with Latinhub TV's media infrastructure, enabling the transformation of ideas into content, content into activation, and activation into enterprise.

The partnership also launched Madrid's new books, "The AI Transformation" and "DISCIPLINE-Don't Get Hung Up on the Word!", further solidifying his role as a thought leader in the intersection of AI and business. The Austin event kicked off a three-city run that continues on September 13 in Las Vegas and culminates in Washington, D.C., as part of Madrid's initiative as Economic Architect for America's Next 250. This initiative 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. The implications are profound: by integrating AI into media and entrepreneurship, the partnership seeks to democratize access to opportunity and foster economic growth on a global scale.

Latinhub TV, a new AI media company 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 approach ensures that content reaches the Hispanic audience wherever they are, maximizing engagement and monetization. For more information, visit latinhub.tv and bodegas.tv. Madrid's own platform, marklmadrid.com, serves as a hub for his various initiatives, including his role as Entrepreneur-in-Residence at NMSDC and Senior Executive Advisor to First National Bank of Bastrop (Texas).

The collaboration between Madrid and Latinhub TV signals a new era where AI-driven content and strategic partnerships can amplify the reach and impact of small business advocacy. By leveraging AI to create engaging narratives and distribute them across diverse media channels, the partnership not only enhances visibility for Madrid's platforms but also opens doors for entrepreneurs to connect with broader markets. As Madrid stated, "Visibility is valuable. Enterprise is transformational." This partnership embodies that ethos, converting trusted relationships, powerful stories, and emerging technology into scalable opportunities. The global expansion of this initiative could set a precedent for how AI and media can be harnessed to drive economic empowerment and innovation.
