Wines We're Drinking

Jessica Yañez: Seis Solis White Blend, a Grenache Blanc and Albariño blend. Her go to hot weather pour, especially during San Diego's current heat wave and humidity.

Rosalie Ennes: Agua. She's on a cleanse after what she calls a "World Cup bender". She'll toast in spirit only this episode.

Episode Description

Jessica sits down with Rosalie Ennes, business and risk advisor, two time award winning author, and founder of Portecua Consulting, for episode 299, one before Wine & Chisme's 300th. They dig into how growing up with two very different money philosophies (her dad's "save and be smart," her mom's "spend on experiences") shaped Rosalie's relationship with money, how a sudden layoff while she was on vacation in Ecuador with her mom sent her into a quiet, private grieving process, and how that grief eventually turned into the confidence to start her own business. Rosalie opens up about the eldest daughter instinct to protect her family from her own shock rather than lean on them, the 15 month process of writing her award winning book, Build a Beautiful Business con Confianza, and why she built it specifically so Latina and Black entrepreneurs could see themselves in a business book for once. She also shares what's next: an audiobook, bringing the book into university classrooms, and her free risk taker archetype quiz.
