  • Summary

  • In this powerful episode, we sit down with Alma Galvan, National Spokesperson and Marketing Director for the Better Business Bureau, to uncover her inspiring journey of resilience, growth, and community impact. Alma shares her deeply personal experience of becoming a mother figure at a young age, serving as a translator for her family, and navigating life’s challenges as a first-generation Latina.

    We dive into the struggles of entrepreneurship in the Latin community, including overcoming language barriers and the complexities of hiring, as well as the emotional weight of body dysmorphia—a topic often left in the shadows. Alma’s story is a testament to perseverance, highlighting how life’s hardest moments can fuel our strength and shape the leaders we become.
