The Soldier, the Baker and the Changemaker - Manolo Betancur

On this episode of Beyond the Bio, Cathy Bessant, former CEO of Foundation For The Carolinas, sits down with Manolo Betancur, owner of Manolo's Bakery.

From leaving Colombia in search of opportunity to building one of Charlotte's most beloved businesses, Manolo's story is one of resilience, service and heart. 

 

More than a business owner, Manolo has become a champion for the immigrant community, using is platform to create jobs, support neighbors in need and remind others that compassion can create real change. In this candid conversation, he shares the experiences and people who help shape him, the purpose that drives him and why community will always be at the center of his work.
