This week, I had a blast sitting down with Latina media dynamo and women’s empowerment advocate Nely Galán. An immigrant and self-made media mogul, Nely was the first Latina President of Entertainment for a U.S. television network, Telemundo. She is an Emmy Award-winning producer of over 700 episodes of television in Spanish and English including the FOX hit reality series, The Swan.
Nely is also the founder of the nonprofit The Adelante Movement, which seeks to train and empower Latina women to become entrepreneurs. Soon, not just Latinas, but women of all backgrounds began showing up to her events, which was a clear signal to Nely that all women, in particular multicultural women, were leading a new economic women’s movement. The revolution around financial self-reliance had already begun. Her book Self Made is the culmination of nearly four years on the road meeting and training women who have collectively become the largest growth engine in the country. In this episode, Nely and I talk about emotional intelligence, teaching others what you know and the importance of constantly evolving.
