Tina Yturria Buford’s family has held its South Texas ranch land since 1858. Six generations later, she helps run the H. Yturria Land and Cattle Company alongside her sister while also serving as Director of Strategic Partnerships for the East Foundation. She was the first woman to lead the Texas Wildlife Association, and she serves on the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board and the board of Texan by Nature.

Host Liz Crawford talks with Tina about what has helped her family keep its land largely intact for more than 160 years, the moment it nearly didn’t hold, and how a family makes decisions asownership expands across generations. They explore two different approaches to preserving land across generations: a family passing land to its heirs, and the East Foundation, where Robert East’s ranch became a foundation designed to hold the land in perpetuity. Tina also explains the thinking behind the East Foundation’s “Behind the Gates” program, what the Yturria family discussed before putting the Yturria name on a consumer brand, and how she talks with her sons about where the land fits in their lives.

What happens when you give a team of high school students a $100,000 virtual portfolio and six months to manage it? Elizabeth Crawford and Rodrigo Lopez sit down with Jose Molina, a math teacher at Saint Mary’s Hall in San Antonio who also leads Sendero’s summer Financial Literacy Bootcamp, to talk about Finance Fest, a statewide stock market simulation for high school teams.

Jose explains what inspired him to bring investing into the classroom, why he believes financial literacy belongs before graduation, and what students actually do over a season that runs from October through March. He talks about what the strongest teams tend to have in common, why running the competition at their own schools teaches students more than a handed-down curriculum, and what a faculty sponsor really needs to do (less than most teachers expect). He also shares a favorite student moment, what has surprised him about how today’s students think about money, and the one lesson he hopes they still remember ten years from now.

Registration for our 5th Annual Finance Fest has closed, but if you’re a teacher, parent, business leader, or student who wants to bring Finance Fest to your school, visit sendero.com/financefest to learn more. 6th Annual Finance Fest registration will open in 2027.

As women, there are things we just don’t say out loud. In this episode, host Liz Crawford is joined by her colleague Sadie Schweers, Wealth Advisor at Sendero®, to pull back the curtain on Let’s Talk, a small‑group, confidential program within Sendero’s Women’s Initiative that creates space for women to have honest conversations about money and the lives wrapped around it.

We invite you into our circle, to listen, to own your story, to understand your values, to be empowered, and to have honest conversations about the things that are often left unsaid.
