043. “Oscar Highlights, Snubs and Side-eyes” ft Laura Jimenez Mar 15, 2023

This week one of Blue's oldest friends, real estate investor and wealth-building expert Laura Jimenez is joining us virtually to have an in-depth conversation not just about the Oscars... but also about what MOST elite awards shows reveal about artistic expression, representation, and the constant debate about what true equity looks like.

NOTE: While unpacking the "Naatu, Naatu" performance we mistakenly said "Southeast Asian" when we meant South Asian. That might be a small slip-up to some but we want to make sure that the Indian (and Telugu community specifically) is properly centered in that discussion.
