(Don't worry, we'll be back for Season 2!)"What happens when your passion can no longer pay the bills?"For many, this question leads to a dead end. For our guest, Alfredo Mathew III, it was the start of a new mission. A former public school teacher, Alfredo left a career he loved to confront a harsh reality: the systems he was part of were not setting the next generation up for financial stability or a fulfilling life.Instead of just identifying the problem, he started building the solution. Now an entrepreneur and founder, Alfredo is pioneering innovative business models focused on shared prosperity and employee ownership. He's turning his frustration into a scalable strategy that helps small, community-focused businesses compete with large conglomerates by banding together.This episode is a masterclass in turning personal crossroads into system-wide innovation and a fitting finale to our season.
