Summary
This week I sit down with Nick, Carmelo and Sebastian, the neighbohood friends and co-founders of The Taco Project, a taqueria with multiple locations in Westchester & Fairfield County. They discuss their background, how they started the business, the challenges they faced, and their plans for expansion. They also touch on the difficulties of finding new locations and adapting their model. Additionally, they share insights on how they balance work and family life. In this conversation, the hosts discuss the challenges and successes of running a business while balancing family life. They emphasize the importance of supporting each other and trusting their employees.
