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.

Most people don't realize how much their personal information is being bought and sold every day. Data brokers are making billions, pulling details about you from public records and the internet, and then packaging and selling it, usually without your consent. That's how your information lands in the hands of scammers, spammers, even stalkers. It's why you get endless robocalls and why ads seem to follow you everywhere. That's where Aura comes in. Aura actively removes your data from broker sites and keeps it off. They also instantly alert you if your information shows up in a breach or on the dark web. But Aura goes beyond data protection. With one app, you get a VPN, antivirus, password manager, spam call protection, dark web monitoring, and even up to $5 million in identity theft insurance, all backed by 24/7 US-based fraud support. Other companies might sell just credit monitoring, or just a VPN. Aura gives you all of it, together, at the same price competitors charge for just one service. It's your free trial today at aura.com/remove. Protect yourself now at aura.com/remove. You can be an undocumented person, but you can have a legal entity, and you can run business. You make tons of money. So the entity is legal, but you're illegal. That spoke to me because I've grown up in this country most of my life without documents, and we decided to invest in a Gozi. First is a passion project. Welcome to another episode of Coffee's. Thank you, Joe. Thanks for having us, brother. Thank you, Joe. Appreciate you. Better you flew down, and that's very kind of you to come down for the show. And Frank, it was a pleasure to meet you and get to kind of spend some time with you at an event that we got to connect at. Now, I like to start the show off the same way, so everybody wishes it. What's your guys' morning routine? Morning routine. Like this morning, I was up at 4 o'clock in the gym out by 5.30. Took a shower, did a little work, and then drove over here, had some breakfast with Adder and his wife. And now I'm here. Sweet. That's in for me. I get up at 5 in the morning, first thing, smart prayer, good thanks to God for waking up. Another day, 5.45, I'm at the gym, get an hour, hit the sauna for at least 10 minutes, go home, get ready, be by the office by 8.30. Love it. Love it. Alright, guys. Well, let's jump into it. So, the Gozi didn't start, like, as a business, it started as a need.
