MFZ – The Choice of Going To College and Financial Education with Michael Taravella
Welcome to the Multi-FAMILY zone podcast, where business meets family. The hosts of the show, Julia and Gino Barbaro, have been married for over twenty years, and have six children.
Julia homeschools the children, and recently became a marriage and life coach to help couples become better communicators and help enrich their lives. The couple is constantly asked about how they balance their entrepreneurial and real estate journey while raising their kids. The Multi-FAMILY zone was created to address these questions, along with a host of questions from the Jake and Gino community.
In this episode, Gino and Julia talk to Mike Taravella about his college experience and what he thinks about college. He will discuss how his college experience impacted his current job at Jake and Gino and has other life skills.
