I'm Nicole Lapin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand.

It's time for some money we have.

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I got the script flipped on me.

I was interviewed by Nelly Galan for her M&N podcast Money Maker, or in Spanish,

Mimundo Rico.

I told you that I would share the episode when it was ready, so here it is dropping today.

And here is the plot twist.

In this conversation, Nelly and I talk about what it was like growing up with immigrant

parents and how our families didn't trust the financial system.

We talk about how a little distrust of the financial system is actually pretty healthy.

It makes you want to have your own back and do the work of making sure your finances

are protected.

People did we know that just weeks later, there would be a breakdown of the banking system

in the US.

It's kind of spooky to listen back to this conversation, but in my mind, it just reaffirms that

this self-reliant mindset is more important now than ever.

Here it is.

So the episode you're about to hear is something that I recorded a couple of weeks ago.

And in this recording, I'm going to tell you that I come from a country where there

was a bank collapse and it changed my life forever and my parents lost all their money and we

moved to the United States, which was the beginning of my journey and my entrepreneurial

life.
