Most people will work their entire life… and never get rich.

Not because they don’t work hard — but because they’ve been sold the wrong mindset, the wrong goals, and toxic leadership.

In this episode of My Finn Journey, the host welcomes Enrique Acosta Gonzalez, a Navy veteran and award-winning executive coach, to discuss the intersection of leadership and financial freedom. Gonzalez shares his personal journey from growing up in Puerto Rico and the Bronx to serving in the Navy and becoming a leadership development expert. The conversation covers key topics like breaking free from a money mindset that keeps people broke, spotting toxic leadership traits, and the importance of purpose in rebuilding one's life. Gonzalez emphasizes the significance of changing one's relationship with money, the value of mentorship, and the impact of leadership development on both personal and professional growth.

Enrique Acosta Gonzalez reveals:

The silent money beliefs keeping you broke

Why “success” without purpose leaves you empty

How toxic leadership bankrupts your life and career

The mindset shift that turns scarcity into abundance
