Too many people are forced to decide between surviving and getting an education. Especially among the underrepresented student, first generation student, and minority student populations, the barriers to education are insurmountable. How do we start building systems and solutions that ensure access to economic advancement for all?

We decided to re-feature this episode with guest Joel Vargas because these questions are still being answered and are important ones to ponder and continue our search for solutions. It is also one of our listener favorites, so if you missed it, here is your opportunity to be a part of the conversation. Enjoy.
