One of the most rewarding things about getting to know so many entrepreneurs is seeing first-hand how many of them are focused on so much more than just financial results.

Alberto Peinado Garrido | Real Estate & Financing Advisor

As a real estate agent and loan officer, I help people buy a house that they can call home, where they feel safe to create and care for a family that is the foundation of humanity. Having a home is one of the basic needs of any human being along with food and clothing. Once these needs are met, one can embark on other adventures or enjoy life. I try to have a direct and close relationship with my clients, empathize with them and help them in what will possibly be the most important purchase of their lives. By not only being a real estate agent and also being able to offer financing, I can not only provide a 360 service but I can also help many more people who do not have as many opportunities to buy.

Daniella Fernandez | Designer & Consultant

As a Native landscape designer, my business contributes to the community and the world in several meaningful ways.

Native plants require less water, pesticides, and fertilizers, which reduces pollution and conserves resources. Cultural Preservation: I incorporate indigenous knowledge and traditions into my designs, honoring the deep connection between people and the land. This helps preserve and share cultural heritage with the community. Read more>>

I created my books to be used in a way where parents can implement them for less than 10 minutes a day while still making an impact on their child’s academic development. Read more>>
