In this episode of Dollars and Dreams, Adam sits down with Riaz Cassum, a real estate finance executive who immigrated from Bombay to the U.S. with little more than ambition and curiosity. Riaz shares the early lessons he learned about money as a student navigating a foreign financial system, how cultural values shaped his view of saving and investing, and the turning points that led him to a global career in capital markets. It’s a conversation about calculated risks, generational mindset shifts, and the power of financial literacy to unlock opportunity.
