In Our Learning Era (A New Series)

For Pia & Paula, learning is a never-ending process. With immigrant parents, they've had to figure out important US milestones like college applications, filing taxes, finding a doctor, and pumping gas (shout out to New Jersey) on their own. In this episode, the sisters share the obstacles they've faced in their young adulthood that no one bothered to teach them about sooner!

Everyone is constantly learning, and it's totally okay not to have all the answers. Life is full of challenges, and Pia & Paula encourage you to embrace them! Pia shares her experience navigating the early stages of homeownership while Paula opens up about guiding her younger siblings through the FAFSA and SATs. They also touch on creating an LLC, the humble beginnings of this podcast, and the first steps to becoming an influencer.

IN THIS EPISODE, PIA & PAULA TALK ABOUT:

- (6:28) Adjusting to the culture shock of living in the US

- (10:56) Transitioning from a pediatrician to a regular doctor

- (16:07) The finances of being an influencer, like brand deals and write-offs

- (22:38) All of the components that go into making the podcast

- (26:07) The unexpected (and complex) aspects of buying a home

- (30:38) Urgent care vs. emergency rooms

- (33:57) Tips for getting started as a digital creator
