Have you ever wondered what it would look like to invest in nature in a way that grows both your wealth and the planet?

This episode invites you to rethink how you view money, assets, and long-term legacy by exploring the emerging world of regenerative investments. Instead of seeing land and forests as distant resources, this conversation reframes them as living assets capable of creating generational wealth, environmental healing, and financial inclusion.

Alain Romero is the founder of Forest to Fortune, a regenerative investment company that re-imagines how high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and purpose-driven investors can align profit, planet, and people. Alain combines deep financial acumen with impact forestry strategy, using high-value tropical hardwoods, agroforestry systems, and innovative fintech to deliver long-term wealth and environmental regeneration.

Tune in to Episode 257 of Amiga, Handle Your Shit, as Jackie sits down with Alain Romero, founder of Forest to Fortune, to explore his groundbreaking approach to investing in trees, biodiversity, and regenerative ecosystems. Alain shares how treating trees as individual assets can open new avenues for wealth creation, how blockchain brings transparency to environmental investing, and why degraded land across Latin America holds massive potential for restoration and long-term financial returns. This episode is a powerful reminder that the future of wealth is sustainable, intentional, and deeply connected to the earth.

True impact doesn't always begin in boardrooms or policy meetings. Sometimes it starts in the heart; in recognizing that the struggles we think are ours alone are, in fact, shared by millions. For Rudy Espinoza, that realization transformed his path from a young man chasing financial success to a leader reshaping the systems that hold communities back.

In this episode of Amiga, Handle Your Shit, Jackie sits down with Rudy Espinoza, Executive Director of Inclusive Action for the City, to explore how empathy, awareness, and courage can drive real change. Raised by a single mother who left an abusive home to build a better life, Rudy learned early what resilience and service look like. A single college course opened his eyes to the structural inequities facing his community, and that awakening inspired his lifelong mission: to move capital, opportunity, and dignity into the hands of working-class people.

Rudy shares how Inclusive Action’s early fight to legalize street vending grew into a statewide movement, and why investing in people and authentic relationships is the true foundation of progress. He also opens up about the personal story that reframed his understanding of impact: a simple act of kindness toward his mother that revealed how connection can heal division and fear.
