Jaliyla: "It starts at home with parents and making sure that their child knows that they're in this together, that they can be very successful in math if they continue to persevere."

HIGHLIGHTS

• Navigating a male-dominated construction industry

• What is up with the Great Resignation?
• Things to ponder before you make the jump

QUOTES

Paulina: "Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. It's not for the faint of heart. It requires skills. I always share how important it is to do your work and really understand how you have to build your confidence. You have to build your leadership and you have to build your network." 

Paulina: "You don't have to commute to work anymore. They realized that that's where they were putting a lot of their time and energy and efforts into it. And it's really changed the game."

Paulina: "Don't take the leap right away. It might not happen overnight. And if you don't have the mindset, haven't done your own work, you're going to feel the overwhelm immediately. You're going to feel self doubt and the lack of confidence taking immediately."

HIGHLIGHTS

• An army man in real estate
• How being a soldier helped Luis become a leader
• The market will eventually correct itself 
• Why people are finding it difficult to purchase homes 
• Monitor your credit two years before purchasing property
• Attend a first-time homebuyer's seminar as soon as you can
• There's no one-size fits all profile for clients

QUOTES

Luis: "I went through different stages of leadership, but every stage taught me something new. It taught me to be adaptable and understand that no matter where you go, it's always about the people. Regardless of what business organization or anything you are in, you always gotta treat people as people first before anything else." 

Luis: "The biggest thing that keeps people from actually qualifying for a home is credit. And that's just because people don't realize that they have to monitor their credit up until they are ready to buy and then they realize that their credit isn't where it used to be." 

Luis: "If you're planning to buy a house, you should probably start looking at your credit, your income, your assets about two years out and figuring out the stuff you need to do in order to buy a house. Don't wait until the day that you're ready to buy a house. Do it prior to, and be ready to buy a house when the time comes."

Randy talks about the need to expose kids to more career options such as trade schools, as opposed to just going to the 4-year college diploma route. She also talks about her decision to leave her 9 to 5 job at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to become an entrepreneur. 

HIGHLIGHTS

• We need more tradespeople
• Why high school students are often not college-ready
• Trade schools are making a comeback
• Turning to entrepreneurship during the pandemic
• Addressing the pain points of high schools
• Exposing the kids to more career options 
• How to know if you've got that entrepreneur in you

QUOTES

Randy: "The whole stigma behind that everyone has to go to a four-year college, it has to stop. Trade schools are amazing. We all need a plumber, we all need an electrician. The world has a place for everyone and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that." 

Randy: "When you learn about these things and when you hear that this is how the money is being split up, you understand that there's a lack of resources. And these educators are truly doing the best that they can with what they've got. They're literally like the song said, 'tryin' to make a dollar out of 15 cents.'"

Randy: "When the universe aligns with what you do on a daily basis, you really do not work another day of your life because it is all fun and play and you're just happy to be making money on the way."

Randy: "That's a huge pain point, that right now the education system cannot keep up with the technology and what's happening in the world of finance. So if we're able to provide that workshop for the parents for their peace of mind, and now for the educator to know that yes, I'm teaching social studies, math, and all that, but this program is covering that part of the education that they need to know today."

HIGHLIGHTS

• You always need to plan
• Always listen to your clients 
• Leave a legacy through real estate
• Has the residential real estate market peaked already?
• Why buying real estate can be hard for some people

QUOTES

Royce: "What helped me most recently is being more organized. Because when you're unorganized, even with your schedule and just in general when you’re starting to get clients, get a CRM so you can organize your business and let the CRM do its job." 

Royce: "It's a good time to buy if you're ready to buy. It is a seller's market, people are paying a little bit over asking. But if the interest rate is lower, then their buying power is more." 

Royce: "It's a case-by-case basis. But I think more so the lack of information and just the market being saturated and it being a seller's market. Not planning far enough in advance to start saving money. If you want to buy a house and now it's very competitive, if you can put down more of a significant downpayment, you look like a better candidate."

Carolina talks about the importance of volunteerism, education, and why the Hispanic community needs to continue work for representation today. Hispanics have the right to be heard, but like everybody else, that opportunity needs to be earned, and will not be given. 

HIGHLIGHTS

• A professional life steeped in service 
• Hispanics need to be participate and be seen more 
• Volunteerism creates active communities 
• Education opens up a lot of opportunities 
• All about the ¡Hablemos! Podcast  

QUOTES

Carolina: "When we unite and we see what we can be, reflected on other people who have achieved the success that we want for ourselves, then we get stronger as a community." 

Carolina: "We need to be seen, we need to be heard and to be taken into account and to be brought to the table. If they don't let us sit at the table, then we bring our own chairs, our duffel bags, whatever it is. Just sit there and be part of the conversation and create allyships." 

Carolina: "To me, education is fundamental for the growth of anyone, of any human being. It's not only what you learn from the books, but the exposure that you get to what other people are thinking, to ideas, to connections. It's another way of networking, right? It's connecting to those future leaders." 

Carolina: "We still need to show who we are not only to those who don't know much about our culture and who we are, but also to ourselves, to our own Hispanic brothers and sisters. Because there's a lack of ownership of our voices. There's a lack of representation in the sense that we don't believe in ourselves, we don't believe that we're capable of great things, we have been raised to be quiet."

Dr. Ivonne believes in the potential of young people, they just need to be exposed to the different opportunities that are available today at an early age. Through HISPA, Dr. Ivonne hopes to show young people the path to success, and equip them with what they need to get their desired career.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Early dreams and founding HISPA
• To study mathematics is to become a creative problem solver 
• Developing a love of math through Fibonacci
• Students need role models to validate their dreams 
• How you can help more students through HISPA

QUOTES

Dr. Ivonne: "When you study mathematics, I always say, you can take any job. I always say that when you have an analytic mind, you are a problem solver. And we have to say that those are the skills for the future. We don't know what the jobs of the future really are. But if we focus on educating students and giving them the opportunity to really look at problems and look for solutions and be creative." 

Dr. Ivonne: "Now I see a problem in society. Not having access to a role model is a roadblock for our youth. That should not be the case. So let's eradicate that problem. It's just looking at it, and then finding how do we optimize the solution for that. We are optimizing the time of the individuals that are volunteering, and we are optimizing the times of the schools and the students. So it becomes a math problem." 

Dr. Ivonne: "Adelante si se puede. My phrase is Soñar no pues te nada. Let's allow ourselves to dream. Dreaming costs nothing."

She shares the realities of Latinx communities with racism and microaggressions and how she empowers them through collaboration and community. Erica discusses limiting beliefs and how giving a voice to Latinx social workers is her way of inspiring others into action as well.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Founding Sandoval Collab amidst the pandemic
• Authorship gives a voice to Latinx social workers  
• Bridging the gap through community
• Learn the language of money to enter executive spaces

QUOTES

Erica: "I've always been working with clients as a clinician and I decided, you know what, why don't I just take a leap of faith and get my clinical license and really start my own practice especially because there weren't enough mental health providers for Latinos."

Erica: "It's lonely and infuriating and exhausting to constantly be aware of race and not have the same be true of white colleagues and professors who overwhelmingly make up the profession. So I found solace with other social workers of color that they validated my experience with racism and microaggressions in the workplace and shared similar sights."

Erica: "Erica: "I'm a big, big proponent of training and coaching incredible students and young social workers to ask for raises, to ask for equitable salaries, to really know their worth, to know what their bottomline is, to really understand the language. And if we start speaking that language and supporting each other and not being shy about speaking about money, we're going to be able to enter into these spaces."

QUOTES

06:00 "I think (corporations) struggle with (diversity) because they don't really treat it as a must-have. They treat it as a nice to do. And for so many years it's been viewed as not a business imperative and something that they're doing for PR purposes."

08:01 "Let's test it out with a function, with a division. Let's get feedback. Let's get focus groups together so that when we roll out a program that's enterprise-wide, it actually has a true chance of having real impact."

13:17 "That is what originally inspired The Female Collaborative, it was because that are doing their thing, who have value and resources, and have the intent to collaborate with other women to make magic and create legacy together."

16:11 "That is what I would say to entrepreneurs is that the emotional rollercoaster you're always going to be on, the hustle never stops, and that it's okay and for some that is the journey that they experience."

17:34 "Entrepreneurship sounds very sexy and sounds very exotic for a lot of people, but it is the hardest work that you will ever have to do."

23:37 "That intern, because you gave them a chance, that intern will now gain solid experience in that particular field. So I always say that balance is a good balance because not only is the business winning, but the intern as well."
