This weeks episode is with Rob Nagel, the founder, and owner of the New Jersey and Florida based restaurant chain Surf Taco.
Rob’s story is that of an accidental entrepreneur. He went from not knowing what he wanted to do to owning 14 restaurants on the east coast.
This is a wild and relatable ride that includes 7 colleges, camping out in the Florida Keys, writing screenplays, moving to California to become the next Steven Spielberg and joining AmeriCorps with his future wife.
While in Southern California, Rob began creating a business plan for a West Coast restaurant chain he called "Surf and Subs". He inevitably landed back on the east coast where he went on to create the brand "Surf Taco".
This episode is for every entrepreneur stuck on “whats next for me” and creative minds trying to find the business side of their brain. Rob’s ability to visualize the future and paint a picture of a brand is creative and something to aspire towards.
