In this episode of South Texas Power Lunch, host Matt Duke sits down with Cindy Garcia—one of only three women NCAA wrestling referees in the nation. Cindy shares her unique perspective as both a tax preparer and a gig economy professional, balancing her time between running Five Star Income Tax and officiating wrestling matches at the local, state, national, and collegiate levels.

We dive into the challenges and rewards of working in the gig economy, the tax issues that often catch independent workers off guard, and the unexpected stories that come from life on and off the mat. Whether you're a small business owner, gig worker, or just love a good story—this is one episode you won’t want to miss.
