In this episode of Leaders Talks, etf.com Editor-in-Chief Kristin Myers chats with Nhat Bui, a member of the [Leaders Top 100](https://www.etf.com/leaders) list, about learning English as her second language and how her unique perspective makes her a better financial planner.

“I actually became a financial planner because I have seen firsthand how financial literacy can actually change life, especially in the Asian minority community where money conversations are often considered a taboo,” she explained.

“I wanted to bridge that gap by offering cultural awareness, financial guidance, and I would like to empower my client to make informed, confident decisions about their future.”

Bui also shared why she likes the [**Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI)**](https://etf.com/VTI) and her biggest financial mistake: not investing sooner.
