On this episode of Tamarindo, we explore U.S capitalism, the hustle culture, and how we can be more mindful consumers, entrepreneurs and citizens working within a system that was originally built off the exploitation of people of color. 

To help us think through some of these concepts, we are joined by Joshua Alvarez for this conversation to help us learn and consider new ways of being. Joshua is an advocate and conscious business coach focusing on the intersection of healing, justice, and collective liberation with decolonizing practices.
