Welcome back to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast.
For Inside Success, I am Ray Gutierrez. Joining me today is a powerful Peruvian woman. Angie Stevens is fresh off the filming of her episode. Welcome.
Thank you. Thank you for having me.
Oh, no. Thanks for gracing. Very excited.
What sparked Angie's interest in real estate at a young age?
We're excited to have you. You are essentially our, I guess, our last guest of the day. So the room and the podcast studio is all yours. Save the best for last. Exactly. We can be here for hours now.
Save the best for last.
Where do we start? Let's start Peru. Okay. When you're a Latina or Latino, when you have this background lore, there's a lot of mystery to it. What is the mystery of being born in Peru? And how did that inspire you who you are today?
Sure. So coming from Peru, young, I was only there, you know, up until the age of nine. But I remember seeing my parents grow up very hardworking individuals. You know, we're immigrants, right?
What challenges did Angie face in the male-dominated real estate industry?
Very hardworking. My parents own very, you know, their own successful businesses. I grew up with having that drive, that grit, that perseverance. It's definitely a third world country. It's poor. Life is completely different here from over there. You know, the opportunities aren't as many as you have here. Over there, you gotta work 10 times as hard. There's people with multiple degrees and not enough jobs. You know, and there's homelessness. I mean, there's a whole bunch of different aspects. It's just a whole nother world.
Yeah, it's interesting how you kind of describe some states of the United States where it's like, well, that sounds a lot like some of the states here. Where are you currently now?
So I live in Palm Beach County. Right on.
Yeah, cool. No, Palm Beach is great. Anything north of Boca is the rest of the United States, as I like to say, but I'm allowed to say that because I was born and raised here. What's that with your background? And as Latinos, we're designed for pain. We're designed to just suffer. Like happiness to us is a luxury. We have to build our happiness. How have you built your happiness from back then till today? I know that's quite the loaded question. Give us the montage.
So I've always growing up, I've always been like really curious. I just wanted to solve problems, wanted to be in the middle of everything. I wanted to learn, wanted to grow, just very ambitious. Coming here, I saw my dad actually restart his own career. And he went from having bakery, carpentry, all these different businesses to being a construction worker. And not for it to be negative or anything, but I learned so much from that. I saw both of my parents rebuild their careers.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
rebuild a second life here so with that um i worked very very hard at a young age bought my first home and when the numbers i love numbers within my career finance and um finance and accounting i just i was always intrigued with real estate everywhere
