Nick Tappan - No college? No problem. PAPAS AND POLLO restaurant transforms into a seven figure thriving success

40 min • 30 januari 2024

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.
