The episode of “Uncle Sam’s Secret Sauce” featuring A+S’ principals is available on leading podcast platforms, including Sounder.fm, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

The relationship between A+S and Dr. Marrero runs deep. In addition to being A+S’ partner in acquiring the firm’s socioeconomic certifications to conduct business with the US government, A+S designed Dr. Marrero’s inaugural edition of “La Salsa Secreta del Tío Sam,” the first-ever Federal Contracting book in Spanish, now an Amazon best seller.

“It was such an amazing experience to join this podcast; we’ve known Dr. Marrero (we affectionately call him “Rafa”) for many years now, and he was instrumental in guiding us through the complex web of US government contracting. He’s an asset to the Hispanic small business community, and his podcast is the latest expression of his mission,” said Sarimá Gracia, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of A+S IDEAS STUDIO, Inc.
