As we prepare to launch new episodes in January, we’re revisiting some of host Fede Vargas’ favourite episodes from the archives. In this episode, Fede, interviews Helen Jurado, a self-made sales professional in the media and entertainment industry. Their conversation lends insight into Helen's life, shaped by the lives of her mother and grandmother. These strong Latina women taught her resilience, fearlessness, and the importance of education, which enabled her to become the first in her family to graduate college. Her upbringing instilled a strong work ethic and taught her to be humble, self-aware, and self-sufficient. A key thread in their conversation sees Helen highlight the importance of staying true to oneself, of building supportive communities, and how empowerement can stem from adversity. She underscores the importance of Hispanic Heritage Month and giving visibility to Latino stories.Episode Highlights00:00 Introduction and Welcome Back00:17 Celebrating Latino Stories: A Tribute to Helen Jurado00:52 Getting to Know Helen Jurado: The Early Years02:42 The Power of Strong Women: Helen's Influences02:58 Lessons from Helen's Grandmother07:18 Helen's Mother: The Original Salesperson09:23 Helen's Early Sales Career11:27 The Importance of Self-Awareness and Resilience26:24 Helen's Four Pillars: Education, Protection, Avoiding Pregnancy, and College33:11 The Impact of Sharing Latino Stories33:33 Conclusion: The Power of Kindness and ListeningConnect with Fede:Website: https://www.mymostauthenticlife.comInstagram: @mymostauthenticlifehttps://www.instagram.com/mymostauthenticlife/Fede Vargas: https://linktr.ee/fedevargas My Most Authentic Life Distributed by: Genuina MediaFollow Fede Around the Web:Instagram: @mymostauthenticlife and @itsfedevargasYouTube: My Most Authentic Life ChannelWebsite: www.mymostauthenticlife.comLinkedIn: Fede Vargas and My Most Authentic Life Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
