Laura Suárez León on money, shame and endurance
Laura grew up in the Dominican Republic, in a home where money was never discussed. It was awkward, she says, and she is unusually open about the shame of realising how recently her own financial education began, despite a master’s degree in international commerce. What finally changed her mind was a seven-page document, and what caught her was not the technology but the question of what money actually is and who decides how much of it exists. We also talk about endurance, which she knows from competitive sport: Laura plays Beach Ultimate for the Spanish national team and won bronze at the World Championships.
