Speaking of reading….I’m a busy person, and while I love to read books, I don’t always have the time. On a recommendation, I purchased an app called Blinklist, and it’s the best app I’ve stumbled on this year. In a nutshell, Blinklist is CliffsNotes in an app. You can read or listen to a 15-minute abbreviated version of thousands of non-fiction books. For me, the short or “Blinklist” version of most books is all I need, however in some cases if the book is really good, I will purchase the full version. All books are available in print or audio. If you read a lot of non-fiction books, but are short on time like I am, Blinklist is a perfect addition to your app collection.

In this week’s episode of The Latino Brand, I talk about why building wealth isn’t just about money — it’s about agency, dignity, and control...
Jewish summer camps have helped preserve culture, build identity, and create lifelong networks for generations. In this episode, I talk about how Latinos can adapt this model to strengthen our own community and invest in our young people.
