speaking & media
Wall Street trained. Working-class raised. Yliana Guzman shows first-gen professionals and parents how money and access actually work, and sends every room home with a plan.
Known for the Raising Rich series and for saying the real numbers out loud, Yliana brings an insider’s read on money to the conversations most rooms tiptoe around: who gets access, who gets help, and what it takes to build wealth for the first time.
Whether she’s showing a room how to build a second income without quitting, or walking parents through the $50 habit that changes a generation, she brings the polish of an operator and the honesty of someone who’s lived it.
Available for keynotes, panels, workshops and podcast interviews.
