In this episode, I speak with serial entrepreneur Angela Salamanca about her journey of starting businesses as an immigrant. Learn how Angela turned her labor of love into a legacy of inclusion with ventures like Gallo Pelon, Centro, and Ex-Voto. Discover how necessity drives creativity, leading many immigrants to entrepreneurship out of a need for financial stability. Angela emphasizes the importance of inclusivity, community building, and shared experiences as key values for creating her legacy. Creating spaces where everyone feels safe and welcomed is crucial for people to be their best selves. From her restaurants to her annual 5K run on Dia de los Muertos, she shares how intimacy plays a role in community building. I was shocked to learn that with her experience as a restaurateur, she still is having trouble securing a business loan (SBA loans seem particularly difficult). From running to cooking, this conversation covers a lot of vulnerable topics. I hope you enjoy this wild ride!
