Giovanna “Gigi” Gonzaléz, financial educator, influencer, founder of The First Gen Mentor, and author of the upcoming book, Cultura & Cash, joins the Journey to Launch podcast to discuss how she quit her 10 year corporate career in financial services to pursue her true passion: teaching financial literacy to young adults.
