Manny is a man on a mission. Today, he is an entrepreneur who operates a small business making vegan energy bars that taste great and are good for you. That’s not where he started. Manny was a top-of-his-class CPA as well as a Crypto news business owner with 20 interns working for him. He walked away from both. Manny was meant to do something else.

Manny is the co-owner of Heaven’s Pantry, part of a team of three guys that started a food company from nothing.

The company was started with the premise that you don’t need years of executive experience, or an MBA, or billions of dollars in venture capital to start a business. If you know how to do or make something that’s useful to other people, and you’ve got a passion for doing or making that thing, then you’ve got everything you need to start a company.

Manny’s smile is contagious. He is high-energy person who works 70 hours a week, while having a positive spirit and perspective.

He doesn’t believe in failure; pivoting instead. He has pivoted several times and it is how he has learned, kept grounded, and brought a unique outlook to every one of his roles.

“Don’t be discouraged by the trials of life.” Manny told me. “Dream big today so tomorrow can be better.”

Manny was one of my younger guests. I am starting to see that you can have wrinkles at any age.
