Puerto Rico’s de Facto Ambassador Dreams Big

Chef, entrepreneur, designer, public speaker — Manolo López is all those things. But this 30-year-old Puerto Rican describes himself as an unofficial ambassador for his island, a role he embodied as founder of his popular Mofon•GO food stand and operator of roving cultural showcase Cosa Nuestra, and then as the community leader who shut it all down to help with relief efforts on the island after Hurricane Maria struck. So what’s his next move? Listen to hear his recipe for success, and life. Special thanks to José Alfaro, recording guru at Acast; Nicole Rothwell, editor extraordinaire; Connor Button, theme music creator; and WKNY Radio Kingston, our kind host on the airwaves.

Sin embargo, este puertorriqueño de 30 años prefiere definirse como embajador extraoficial de su isla, cargo que comenzó a desempeñar como fundador de su popular Mofon•GO food stand, como operador del evento cultural ambulante Cosa Nuestra y, luego, como el líder comunitario que lo abandonó todo para irse a ayudar a su gente tras el azote del huracán Maria. ¿Qué se trae ahora entre manos? Escucha su fórmula para tener éxito y navegar con dignidad por la vida. Gracias especiales para José Alfaro, técnico gurú en Acast; a Connor Button, autor de la sintonía; a Nicole Rothwell, extraordinaria editora; a Warren Lawrence, técnico de directo; y a WKNY Radio Kingston, por ofrecernos un hueco en las ondas.
