Nick chose life experience and industry exposure over a formal higher education and learned how to manage and run a restaurant. Then, in 2011, a longtime-local "Seb-Mex" eatery Papas and Pollo was threatening closure in Sebastopol, California.  Nick saw the potential to bring back a community restaurant, negotiated seller financing for three years, and turned the restaurant into a thriving community hub that supports his family's binational lifestyle. Listen along to his incredible story and how he proves that a formal higher education is not always the best way to learn. Subscribe on Apple Podcast , Spotify or other major streaming platforms.
