Main Street Matters is America’s small business megaphone and
will feature inspirational real-life stories of the struggles and
successes of small business owners. By highlighting their grit,
determination, and passion Main Street Matters will prove the
American Dream is still alive. The podcast will be co-hosted by
Alfredo Ortiz, President and CEO of Job Creators Network, and
Elaine Parker, President of Job Creators Network Foundation. Two
episodes of the podcast will be released each week.
“We are so happy to add a podcast to our lineup that talks to
small business owners and entrepreneurs — the lifeblood of the
economy,” said Salem Senior Vice President of Spoken Word, Phil
Boyce. “Alfredo and Elaine are two of the best voices out there in
this space and will be able to help so many people grow and
succeed.”
"Job Creators Network is proud to partner with Salem to launch
this important podcast,” said Alfredo Ortiz. “‘Main Street Matters’
will elevate the concerns of small business job creators and
promote the positive American vision of entrepreneurship. This
small business message is needed now to counter big government
narratives and policies."
"Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy, yet
they are under constant pressure from bad government policy,” said
Elaine Parker. “Job Creators Network is excited to tell their
stories in the new podcast, ‘Main Street Matters’, to build public
support for policies that help them flourish. We are excited to
partner with Salem, the premiere audio distribution channel of
conservative thought.”
The Job Creators Network (JCN) is the country’s leading
organization fighting for economic freedom by advocating for
pro-growth policies and pushing back against government overreach.
JCN provides business and community leaders with the tools and
training to become an effective voice for free enterprise in the
media, in Congress, in state capitals, and with their employees. By
creating advocates, we can hold politicians accountable and reduce
the efforts of big government to over-regulate and overtax
America's small business owners.
As the president and CEO of the Job Creators Network, Alfredo
Ortiz has led the defense of small businesses from the onslaught of
bad government policies. He has testified before legislative
committees about the impact of taxation and regulation on small
business growth. He served as a Commissioner to the White House
Hispanic Prosperity Initiative. Ortiz was instrumental in helping
pass the historic tax cuts bill of 2017. Before joining JCN, Ortiz
was a marketing and corporate strategy consultant, working for
various Fortune 500 companies. He has been widely published in
major media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, USA Today,
CNBC, The Hill, and U.S. News & World Report and is a frequent
guest on cable news networks and national radio talk shows,
including CNN, Fox News, Hugh Hewitt, Mike Gallagher, and the
Dennis Prager Show as well as C-SPAN. Ortiz received his MBA at the
University of Michigan and graduated from Pomona College with a
bachelor’s degree in economics.
Elaine Parker has more than 20 years of experience in the
communications field, beginning her career as a Public Relations
Manager for Chrysler. She later became an independent
