Let It Breathe - Dejalo respirar
In a world that rewards speed, instant reactions, and constant movement, some of the most important decisions we make require us to do something very different : pause. In our latest podcast titled Let It Breathe ( Dejalo respirar) , TriLinc Global Founder and CEO Gloria Nelund sits down with Myrna Rivera, Founder and CEO of Consultiva Wealth Management for a thoughtful conversation about investing, leadership, purpose, and the lessons learned over more than four decades in finance. Ms. Rivera’s remarkable journey, from growing up in a Puerto Rican family in the Bronx, to studying classical music and mathematics, to building a pioneering career in investment management, reveals how unexpected opportunities, courageous choices, mentors, and community can shape both a career and a life. At the heart of the conversation in is a simple but powerful philosophy : let it breathe. Step back from the noise. Resist the pressure to react. Understand your end game. And give important decisions the time and space they deserve. From playing the long game as an investor to recognizing the people who help us along the way, this podcast is a reminder that lasting success rarely comes from chasing the moment. It comes from knowing where you’re going, and having the patience, discipline, and courage to get there.

Aligning Your Values With Your Portfolio
Can your investments generate competitive returns and help create meaningful change at the same time? In this episode, TriLinc Global CEO Gloria Nelund speaks with Dr. Lisette Cooper, Vice Chair of Fiduciary Trust International and founder and former CEO of Athena Capital Advisors, for an engaging conversation about career reinvention, entrepreneurship, impact investing, and the power investors have to influence change. Dr. Cooper share the unconventional path that took her from studying isotope geochemistry at Harvard to a career on Wall Street and ultimately to building Athena Capital into a multi-billion dollar investment firm. Along the way she offers lessons on taking risks, learning from the people around you, embracing pivots, and having the confidence to dream big. Gloria and Lisette also explore how impact investing has evolved, from helping investors align their portfolios with their values to pursuing market-rate opportunities across areas such as financial inclusion, climate adaptation, fintech, and the energy transition. They also examine another powerful tool available to investors : shareholder engagement. Dr. Cooper shares a remarkable example of how a relatively small investment position helped mobilize billions of dollars in shareholder support and contributed to meaningful corporate action around online child safety. It’s a conversation about what becomes possible when investors bring together financial discipline, personal values, and a willingness to act, and a reminder that creating meaningful changes doesn’t always require being the biggest investor in the room. Listen now to Aligning Your Values With Your Portfolio podcast to hear why Dr. Cooper’s advice is simple : don’t be afraid to pivot, dream big, and ask yourself “ What’s yours to do?”
