For years, a lot of us have been talking about the disparities in homeownership rates, the lack of Latino representation in the boardrooms and C-suites of America’s largest corporations, the wealth and income gaps, etc. These are real issues that frankly have not seen much progress in the last few decades. On the heels of the Black Lives Matter movement, these disparities are starting to work their way into the national dialogue. A number of major corporations have made commitments to invest in communities of color and aggressively diversify their organizations from the top down. For those of us who have spent years advocating for these sorts of things, we need to get our acts together. Specifically, we need to get organized with what we want and we need to get our community to rally around those things. Sol Trujillo and I have been working on something for L’ATTITUDE that is audacious, and yet achievable. It would be an absolute shame to waste this unique moment of awareness in our country by not being clear and consistent about the things we want as a community. Now is not the time to be shy. Now is not the time to be polite, and now is not the time to be bickering about things that don’t matter. This is our time to “rise up” as a united force and make a quantum leap forward for ourselves and our children. Don’t miss L’ATTITUDE 2020!
I was watching a podcast recently, and something about it rubbed me the wrong way — but it also got my wheels turning. In this episode, I talk about what I love most about being American, why the system that built this country deserves more appreciation than it gets, and why some of the loudest “love it or leave it” voices go strangely quiet when powerful billionaires openly criticize the very system that made their success possible. This is a conversation about America, double standards, and what real patriotism should actually look like.
This April, the Hispanic Wealth Project is launching its High Net Worth Boot Camp, a 10-week intensive built around some of the most valuable wealth-building education I’ve seen. In this episode, I talk about why so many of us need to shift from a worker’s mentality to an owner’s mentality, why economic success has to move from consumption to wealth building, and why building wealth takes knowledge, work, and discipline. The High Net Worth Boot Camp is designed to help close that knowledge gap with modules on securities investing, real estate investments, buying and selling businesses, asset protection, and tax strategies. If building real wealth has ever felt out of reach or unclear, this is the kind of education that can change how we think and what we build.
The data tells a powerful story: Latinos are driving economic growth in America. If Latino Americans were a standalone country, we’d be the fifth-largest economy in the world, and without Latino homebuyers, the number of homeowners in America would have declined in 2025. So why doesn’t it feel like we’re winning? In this episode, I talk about the gap between growth and perception, why we still don’t have enough strong voices shaping the national conversation, and why purchasing power alone is not enough. Growth matters, but wealth matters more. This is a conversation about leadership, visibility, and what it will really take for our community to turn momentum into lasting power.
