Today we’d like to introduce you to Bruno Mendes
Hi Bruno, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
We started the EPA Business Community after identifying, through our own experience and also from friends’ accounts, the lack of unity, general information, and networking assistance within our Brazilian entrepreneurial community in Utah. Consequently, my wife and I decided to organize networking meetings, educational sessions, and information on business development, offering the community the opportunity for growth and connectivity with enterprises, thus fostering a better integration of our community into the American business world.
We began our journey with “Empreendedores em Ação” (Entrepreneurs in Action), a community of Brazilian entrepreneurs who unite to provide mutual assistance to access information and connections in the business world, and to offer the best of their companies and services to the North American market in Utah. Currently, we have over 400 members, business owners, who receive various information on business and action development, as well as the chance to participate in numerous workshops and networking meetings. Our goal is to keep the Brazilian community of business owners and entrepreneurs active and prepared to serve the state of Utah with the best products and services produced by our community.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?

We’ve been impressed with EPA Business Community LLC, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Entrepreneurs in Action (EPA) is a dynamic and ever-growing community comprised of over 500 Brazilian entrepreneurs residing in the state of Utah. Our mission is to provide essential support and practical tools for Brazilian immigrants who are either already in business or wish to embark on their entrepreneurial journeys.
More than just a group, we are a network committed to building valuable connections, strengthening our community, and driving business growth. We focus on promoting the personal and business development of our members within both the Brazilian community and the American market.
We are an organization that supports the Brazilian immigrant community with guidance and information for their businesses, actively working on the personal development of entrepreneurs. Our specialties include offering free workshops, networking events, VIP community business rounds, free open WhatsApp communities, a free virtual library, social action for the community, and support for small businesses.
Known for fostering valuable connections among entrepreneurial communities, we act as a bridge that guides entrepreneurs towards the success of their businesses. What sets us apart from other institutions and entrepreneurial groups is our simple and direct approach to discussing and resolving issues faced by immigrant entrepreneurs who seek growth and connection with the American market. This approach ensures clarity and better sharing of mutually beneficial information, contributing to the growth of the local market and the overall progress of our community.
Our greatest pride lies in seeing individuals transform and evolve their ways of doing business through the collaborative efforts we promote. Our vision of unity, assistance, and business partnership propagates a chain of goodwill, continuously growing and inspiring more people to adopt the same principles of aid and solidarity to help others.
We boast strong organic marketing with over 850,000 profile accesses, high-quality and well-trained paid traffic teams, business podcasts, customized courses, and group materials—all aimed at helping our members reach their full potential. We are committed to supporting and assisting our Latin and American community by promoting or supporting community-benefiting initiatives. Our mission is to unite forces for the greater good of all.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
I don’t believe that luck or misfortune have played a part in our journey. Instead, it has been our positivity and dedication to achieving the best for our family and extending that opportunity to other families as well. We provide them with the chance to take action and make choices, adhering to the “universal law of sowing and reaping.”
