Trail Breaker Podcast

My guests today are Abiel Gutierrez & Andres Santos, Co-Founders of Comun, a fintech company empowering immigrants and their families to achieve upward mobility through financial inclusion.

We talked about why it’s important to help others carry the load; how a rapidly scaling business can co-exist with family, personal health, and playing drums in a band; and why you should always do the “hard thing”, when it’s the “right thing.”
