Introducing The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: A DEMINT Podcast for Honest Conversations

At DEMINT, we believe true networking goes deeper than handshakes and polished business cards. Real relationships are built on trust, honesty, and the courage to share the truth — even when it’s not pretty. That’s why we’re excited to announce the development of a dedicated podcast studio in the back of DEMINT, where our new show, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, will come to life.

A Platform for Honesty and Transparency

Business is never just success stories and highlight reels. Behind every venture are challenges, failures, and lessons learned the hard way. Too often, these stories go untold, leaving others to repeat the same mistakes in silence.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly will change that. This podcast will:

• Showcase DEMINT members, giving them a platform to share their journeys authentically.

• Interview service providers and industry experts, offering a candid look into the pros, cons, and darker sides of their fields.

• Highlight transparency, so that experiences — both wins and setbacks — can serve as powerful lessons for the community.
  

  

Why It Matters

Transparency creates stronger networks. When members can be vulnerable about their struggles as well as their successes, it fosters:

• Deeper connections. Honest conversations break down barriers and build empathy.

• Shared learning. Mistakes don’t have to be repeated if they’re shared openly.

• Mentorship opportunities. By telling their truth, members can guide others through similar challenges.

• Fair representation. Giving people a platform ensures voices are heard, preventing misrepresentation or slander while creating a balanced system of accountability.

  
  

Growing Together Through Storytelling

DEMINT is more than a space to do business — it’s a place to grow as a community. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly will serve as an archive of lessons, advice, and unfiltered experiences that help us all become wiser, more resilient leaders.

This isn’t just about networking; it’s about building a culture of honesty and mentorship. By amplifying voices and perspectives, DEMINT ensures that no member has to navigate difficult times alone.

A Nod to the Wild West

The podcast title isn’t just a clever phrase — it’s also a nod to the classic Clint Eastwood film, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

In many ways, business still feels like the Wild West, full of uncharted territory, hidden opportunities, and unexpected dangers. This is especially true in Puerto Rico, where doing business can get wild and unpredictable.

Here, strength, grit, and perseverance aren’t optional — they’re required. Navigating this harsh but opportunity-rich landscape demands resilience, adaptability, and the ability to learn from both wins and losses.

By creating a space where members can share those hard-won lessons, DEMINT helps turn chaos into clarity, and struggle into collective growth.

In business, as in life, the most meaningful growth comes from truth. With The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, DEMINT creates a platform where truth-telling isn’t just encouraged — it’s celebrated.

Together, we learn. Together, we grow. Together, we transform.
