What do a perfectly packed lunch, a label maker, and a whole lot of hustle have in common? They’re all part of Rocio Lozada’s inspiring journey from cleaning homes to organizing lives - and launching one of Connecticut’s most recognizable Latina-owned businesses.

This week on MissionCTRL, Ramon and Jorge sit down en español with Rocio Lozada, founder of Rocio Organizer LLC, for a conversation that’s part telenovela, part business masterclass, and 100% motivational. Originally from Venezuela, Rocio arrived in the U.S. with little more than determination. She started by cleaning houses — but quickly realized her real gift was transforming chaos into calm through the power of home organization.

When she began sharing her ultra-organized lifestyle on social media - especially the flawless lunches she made for her husband - her brand took off. But behind the viral bento boxes is a savvy entrepreneur who’s built a thriving business, earned professional certifications, and now leads a growing team of organizing pros.

Rocio opens up about the mental and emotional side of clutter, why systems (not stuff) lead to peace of mind, and how she turned her natural talent into a profitable company. She also gives us the inside scoop on Latin Power, the community-focused event she created to uplift and unite Latino entrepreneurs across the state.

If you’re looking for inspiration, actionable branding tips, or just need a little push to clean out that closet - this episode is for you.

What do hacking attempts, dark web threats, and AI trickery have in common? They’re all part of the modern digital battlefield - and Darwin Lara is on the front lines. As the founder of EVO Corp, a premier cybersecurity and managed IT services firm, Darwin brings a unique blend of tech expertise, entrepreneurial grit, and sales savvy to his mission of protecting businesses from today’s digital threats.

This week on MissionCTRL, Ramon and Jorge sit down with Darwin to hear how a kid from Ecuador who dreamed of becoming a professional soccer player ended up running a cutting-edge tech company in Connecticut. After earning a spot on his national team and moving to the U.S. on a soccer scholarship, Darwin discovered a new passion - computers. But he didn’t want to just sit behind one. So he taught himself to sell, got certified in cybersecurity at MIT, and began building a business that’s now helping companies stay safe in an increasingly risky online world.

From email protection and infrastructure support to helping teams spot phishing scams before they click, Darwin shares why cybersecurity is about more than software - it’s about people, training, and staying one step ahead of the bad guys. He also opens up about the importance of constant learning, the power of networking, and how EVO Corp got its name from Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution: survival of the fittest.

If you’ve ever wondered what you can really do to protect yourself and your business - or how to turn a passion for tech into a thriving company - this episode is for you.

What happens when two longtime leaders are suddenly asked to steer a statewide organization through a global crisis? For Kelly Juleson, Co-President of The Governor’s Prevention Partnership (GPP), the answer was: lead with clarity, compassion, and connection.

This week on MissionCTRL, Ramon and Jorge sit down with Kelly to explore how she and her co-president Roland Harmon stepped into co-leadership just as the world shut down. After more than a decade each at GPP, the two were asked to take the helm on an interim basis after the sudden retirement of their CEO - just weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic began. With an uncertain future ahead, they proposed an 18-month trial period to the board and began navigating one of the most critical moments in the organization’s history.

From quickly moving mentoring and prevention programming to virtual platforms, to setting up weekly all-staff check-ins that prioritized both progress and people’s well-being, Kelly shares how they kept the mission alive while giving their team space to adapt, grieve, and grow.

If you’ve ever faced a moment where the path wasn’t clear and leadership meant improvising with heart, this episode will resonate. It’s a testament to what can happen when experience, trust, and shared purpose meet a defining moment - and rise to it.
