Description
This one is GOLD, an unique. I sat down with Gianni Esposito, a Chemical Engineer which has not only dropped Chemical Engineering for good… But has started his own way on the family restaurant in Mazatlan.
He talks to us how he felt frustrated and with lack of passion in all those jobs until he got to the cuisine! Cooking for the Restaurant is what made his heart tick!
As a fellow entrepreneur or ChemE which does NOT takes the “normal” path, I felt identified with this profile. Its great to share his story, for all those wondering if what they are doing is worth it… Or if they should go and pursue their passion… Check out Gianni’s Story!
