Delaynne Barros, award-winning Latina money expert and former employment attorney, joins the Journey to Launch podcast to discuss her path from undocumented immigrant to seven-figure business owner.

We chat about frugality out of necessity and intentionality, avoiding lifestyle creep, the “golden handcuffs” of high salary careers, escaping poverty, and more.

In this episode you’ll learn more about:

What made Delyanne want to become a lawyer and how she was able to retire from law at age 39
The important lesson behind Delyanne’s experience pouring money into the stock market during COVID-19
Passive income vs. front-loading work as an entrepreneur
