In this podcast episode, we host special guest Lyanne Alfaro, a first-generation Mexican from Chicago and a journalist advocating for the Latinx community. We discuss the evolving narrative around Latinx individuals in the United States, highlighting their contributions to the economy, resilience during the pandemic, and increased representation in corporate America and venture capital. This conversation also touches on the challenges of rising living costs, inflation, and food deserts in Latinx communities. We emphasize the importance of representation, entrepreneurship, and community support for the Latinx experience in the United States.

Lyanne tells stories about what’s next in the world of technology, business and entrepreneurship. A journalist turned multi-hyphenate, she's especially passionate about exploring the Latino influence in the world of business. She has launched a newsletter and podcast all about it called Moneda Moves. She's first generation, Mexicana and hails from Chicago. Most recently, she was at Nasdaq on a small team that reimagined the way we covered companies going public on the stock exchange. On any given day, she hosted live segments spotlighting entrepreneurs and produced Nasdaq's first podcast: Tomorrow's Capital. Her team's work has been recognized by the likes of The New York Emmys, The Webby Awards, Digiday and PRNews.
