Villa Communications announces the official launch of The C-Suite Power Play, a new executive-level podcast premiering November 3 at 8:00 p.m. CST on all major podcast platforms and YouTube with new releases every other Monday.
Created and hosted by Ruth Villalonga, Founder & CEO of Villa Communications, and JC González, VP of Business Banking at Wells Fargo, the podcast brings together founders, investors, and executives who have scaled their businesses to share the decisions, pivots, and mindsets that drive sustainable growth.
According to research, fewer than 10 percent of U.S. small businesses surpass $1 million in annual revenue within their first five years, and rates are even lower among women-, Black-, and Latino-owned firms.
This “scaling gap” represents one of the most persistent challenges in the U.S. economy: entrepreneurs know how to start, but lack the infrastructure, mentorship, and ecosystem to grow.
“We’re not short on ideas or talent in America; we’re short on ecosystems,” said Ruth Villalonga, host and CEO of Villa Communications. “The C-Suite Power Play is our response to that need. It is a space where leaders share the real strategies that turn momentum into sustainable growth”.
Through in-depth interviews and candid conversations, The C-Suite Power Play takes listeners inside the boardroom and behind the brand. Each episode unpacks:
- How leaders make decisions under pressure
- What separates scaling companies from stalled ones
- How to build systems that support growth beyond the founder
The podcast’s mission is simple: to fuel an ecosystem of growth-minded leaders and companies that scale with intention and authenticity.
“At the Irving Hispanic Chamber, we see first-hand that scaling is not a solo journey; it requires connection and community,” said Emma Trevino, Chairwoman of the Board. “We are proud to continue providing resources and building community around high-potential businesses so that they can thrive and scale.”
