How can your company develop more positive and sustainable connections in today’s multicultural marketplace? George Fernandez, CEO and founder of Latino Connection, provides insights that could help your businesses connect with the Latinx community.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Latino Connection was created by George Fernandez to provide strategic communications  to help serve the  Spanish-speaking public in Pennsylvania and throughout the United States. His goals were to connect clients and Latino stakeholders to deliver high quality translation  and interpretation services. Latino Connection has helped hundreds of organizations to maximize their outreach  to their Latino customers and clients. When the Covid-19 Pandemic hit Latino communities, it was clear to George that  he could help the State and Local Health Departments to reach out to Latino  and  rural communities  that were not being served.Latino Connection,  in collaboration with  the Health Department, began providing testing and then  sponsoring  vaccines for thousands of individuals throughout Harrisburg and rural Pennsylvania. George's  vision of ensuring access  and providing education became invaluable to Pennsylvania  communities.  HealthCare UnTold salutes and honors George Fernandez and Latino Connection for their commitment to and bravery in response to  the Covid 19 Pandemic.  

After years of working as a pastry chef, George Fernandez was unexpectedly made redundant, and forced to resign from his job last year, as a result of the pandemic. Saddened but not defeated, he continued to put his culinary skills to good use by cooking and distributing food to the homeless in Kuala Lumpur, despite his own struggles. He soon bounced back with an online baking business on Facebook - Uncle George Bakes - and a percentage of his profits still goes towards feeding the homeless. In conjunction with the International Day of Happiness, we speak to George and his niece Elvina Fernandez, about both the business of baking and giving back, and showcase how they exemplify this year's theme to "Keep Calm. Stay Wise. Be Kind."

We know that it is sometimes difficult to stick to those New Year’s resolutions, whether they be related to diet and exercise or saving and spending. So, we have invited George Fernandez and Andy Garrison of Mariner Wealth Advisors to have a conversation about what they are thinking about when planning financial goals for the year. Those planning topics include saving for your retirement, creating an appropriate spending plan, choosing the correct level of insurance coverage and selecting the right gym.

The good news is that whether you realize it or not, you already have an estate plan. Every state in the union provides a process that will pass on your assets upon your death, unless you’ve planned otherwise. The bad news is that it may not be the one you want. In our podcast, Simplifying the Estate Planning Process, Brian Leitner and George Fernandez from Mariner Wealth Advisors break down how to make sure your assets are passed on the right people at the right time and the right way. They take the legal-speak out of the discussion and make it simple. This podcast provides information to help ensure your wishes regarding your assets are considered…and simplifies the entire process. If you have questions or topics you would like us to cover, please email podcast@marinerwealthadvisors.com
