But the real story is bigger than the revenue. It’s about a Puerto Rican woman claiming space in rooms shaped by whiteness, turning cultural fluency into economic power, and refusing to separate wealth from identity. In this episode, Victoria Jenn Rodriguez sits down with Jannese Torres, creator of the Yo Quiero Dinero Podcast and author of Financially Lit: The Modern Latina’s Guide to Becoming Financially Poderosa. Jannese Torres breaks down what it takes to monetize attention without diluting your values, use pop culture with intention, build beyond corporate dollars, and create offers people will pay for in an era where information is everywhere. The conversation moves through privilege, brand safety, AI, direct-to-consumer strategy, community accountability, and the uncomfortable truth that our dollars can either reinforce exclusion or fund the rooms we actually want to enter.</p><p><br></p><p>What We Get Into:</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=73s\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">01:13</a> Why Latino buying power keeps growing while Latino creators still get overlooked</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=163s\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">02:43</a> The introvert who used to break out in hives before public speaking</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=267s&amp;pp=0gcJCWMAwfN6Pr3D\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">04:27</a> Her first paid workshop became a 45-minute tech disaster, and people still waited</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=394s&amp;pp=0gcJCWMAwfN6Pr3D\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">06:34</a> The fear lesson that changed how she approaches entrepreneurship</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=450s\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">07:30</a> The shower idea behind Yo Quiero Dinero, and how she claimed the name</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=672s\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">11:12</a> How to use Bad Bunny and pop culture without chasing empty clicks</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=900s\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">15:00</a> The arroz con gandules post that revealed her real content niche</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=1106s\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">18:26</a> How to discuss race, privilege, and controversy without posting reactively</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=1411s&amp;pp=0gcJCWMAwfN6Pr3D\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">23:31</a> Why your values need to be part of your brand before the brand deals arrive</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=1590s\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">26:30</a> The business protection of building both B2B and direct-to-consumer income</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=1832s\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">30:32</a> Why people no longer want more information, they want access and results</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=2018s\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">33:38</a> The shift from passive courses to retreats, boot camps, and build-in-real-time offers</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=2398s\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">39:58</a> “Brown girls on the flyer” does not mean the room was built for you</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=2578s\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">42:58</a> Why Latinos need to stop discounting their own community and start investing at full price</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=2736s\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">45:36</a> How grassroots funding, community partnerships, and voting with your dollars create change</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnkYbINq00&amp;t=2946s\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">49:06</a> The practical playbook: diversify your offers, deepen your work, and spend with intention</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Key Takeaways</p><ul><li>Fear shrinks when you stop negotiating with it.
