Moneda Moves (100): What Leading A Business Amid Crisis Looks Like
Hola, mi gente! Today’s newsletter is a special one…especially as it marks our 100th newsletter.
A sincere thank you for joining us on this journey to discuss Latinx and money from a journalistic perspective and diverse people with real stories. It has been my pleasure to hear from many of you and we hope to continue expanding on our interviews and digest covering the Latinx community in business, which will only continue to grow.
In honor of the 100th newsletter, I also wanted to share not only our latest podcast episode, but three Moneda Moves interviews that resonate with me today to share with you again. Your support means a lot, so please continue to tune in and let us know what you would like to see covered.
NEW EPISODE
Surviving And Leading A Business Amid Crisis| Holy Matcha Founder Geraldine Ridaura Schumacher
On this episode, we speak with Geraldine Ridaura Schumacher, a Latina entrepreneur based in California and a self-proclaimed numbers person.
In 2016, she set out to start Holy Matcha, one of the first businesses selling the powdered green tea drinks in San Diego. By last year, following the start of the pandemic, she had stretched herself far more, all to help her business stay afloat.
On this episode of Moneda Moves, we explore how one founder transformed her matcha business and took matters into her own hands to survive the pandemic. This interview was taped end of June 2021, shortly after this summer’s reopening in California, so we also discuss her approach to leading her business today -- a year later -- her relationship between entrepreneurship and mental health as well as her cautious outlook for when businesses emerge from the pandemic.
EPISODES TO PLAY AGAIN
Here are some episodes that still resonate with me today. Take another listen to these entrepreneurs, their stories, and takeaways when it comes to trailblazing in wealth building. These are my current three selections, in no particular order.
Pioneering in Building Wealth & Entrepreneurship | My Money My Future Founder Ramona Ortega
Redefining Business News For People of Color | CultureBanx CEO Kori Hale
Journey to Building Wealth Juntos | SUMA Wealth Co-Founder & CEO Beatriz Acevedo
All episodes are my favorite episodes in Moneda Moves, as the guests bring so much to the table. If you can, do listen to more subject experts that pique your interest.
Mil gracias,
Lyanne
