Together, Jim and Gerry explore the financial challenges many Americans face and how platforms like AngeLink can provide a lifeline during emergencies or help aspiring entrepreneurs get their start. Gerry offers a look behind the curtain of Angelink’s operation, sharing everything from how they incorporate AI to the ways they are partnering with organizations like the SBA to support women-owned businesses.
