Gringo's Guide To: Thinking Beyond The American Dream

As a part of Financial Literacy Month, Dramos is joined by Dr. Paul Rivera—co-founder of BeActChange and a man whose journey spans academia, diplomacy, international economics, and strategic coaching. We dive into the harsh realities behind the so-called “American Dream,” especially for Latinos. From financial stress to mental health struggles, we unpack the hidden costs of chasing success in the U.S. and explore whether it’s all even worth it. Dr. Rivera shares his perspective as someone who left the U.S. to start a new life in the Dominican Republic with his family, offering a fresh lens on what real success can look like when you step outside the box and reject the hustle-at-all-costs mindset.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
