Summary

Welcome to Exploring the Marketplace with your hosts, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson. In this episode, we feature Rebecca Contreras, an inspiring entrepreneur whose journey from poverty to advising a U.S. president is remarkable.

As a 19-year-old single mom and high school dropout, Rebecca rebuilt her faith, connecting with God as her true Father. She shares how scripture and faith helped her overcome fear during her early days at the White House.

Rebecca’s integrity led her to end a million-dollar contract for her company, AvantGarde LLC, resulting in greater growth. As CEO, she has won numerous awards, attributing her success to faith, community support, and hard work.

Join us on Exploring the Marketplace to hear Rebecca's incredible journey and be inspired to trust in God's plan, embrace your true identity, and pursue your dreams with unwavering faith.
