Welcome to episode 143 of The American Dream in the Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz, and I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time! Joce, also known as Finance Sensei, shares his journey from French Guiana and France to the United States, his transition from a traditional career path to becoming a full-time crypto investor, and his dedication to teaching financial literacy to the immigrant community. In this episode, Joce reflects on his family background, moving from the Caribbean to Florida as a child, and the cultural shifts he experienced along the way. He opens up about the specific cultural shocks of American social boundaries, the pressure to follow a traditional educational path, and the pivotal moment he decided to bet on himself and his passion for finance. Joce takes us through his journey from his early days of messing with computers to his career in the corporate world, and finally to his current achievements as a successful crypto investor and educator. He shares his mission of helping others in his community break free from the "nine-to-five grind" and how his identity as an immigrant fuels his drive to see more people of color represented in the world of investing and on Wall Street.
