"Generosity is power. Competition doesn’t have to mean scarcity." — Rosa Florentino

From the strawberry fields of Carlsbad to structuring over half a billion dollars in legal settlements, Rosa Florentino’s story is a testament to resilience, gratitude, and giving back. As the co-founder of Quest Settlements, Rosa is redefining what financial justice looks like—especially for clients who need more than a check: they need a plan, a protector, a person who speaks their language.

In this inspiring episode, Rosa shares the personal story behind her power, from her family’s unexpected immigration journey under the 1986 Amnesty Act to founding a nonprofit for farmworkers. Along the way, she learned to ask for what she’s worth, lead with heart, and build a business where clients become family.
