#32 Saving Money & Building Legacy: How Andrew Gil Built a Business from the Ground Up

In this powerful episode of The Padernacht Podcast: Brick by Brick, Steven Padernacht sits down with Andrew Gill, entrepreneur, community leader, and proud girl dad with deep roots in Spanish Harlem. From growing up in a tight-knit family with strong values to building a thriving business in the merchant services industry, Drew shares an honest and inspiring journey grounded in faith, legacy, and work ethic.

Drew opens up about what it meant to be raised in a disciplined household, the lessons his father passed down, and why small acts — like stacking stacks of money “brick by brick” — shaped how he sees success today. He gives a look into the early hustle, the setbacks, and why saving, consistency, and believing in yourself matter more than any shortcut.
Steven and Drew dive into fatherhood, being a Black and Latino man in business, the power of creating generational wealth, and how Drew’s mission shifted the moment he became a dad. 

Together, they unpack the responsibility of raising daughters, pouring into your community, and why your work ethic is your reputation.

They discuss:
