On the pod this week, Oby speaks with Neron Adams-Escalera.
Neron Adams-Escalera is originally from Brooklyn, NY but was raised in South Orange, NJ. He went to St. Benedict’s Preparatory school in Newark, NJ, where he played soccer, eventually making All-American.
He originally wanted to practice law, and execute contracts, so he earned an undergrad degree in Business Law from Temple University and a Master of Public Administration from CUNY Baruch.
His love for cooking and hosting parties led him to culinary school, and today, he is the founder and CEO of Foodies LLC (aka Foodies DMV).
Tune in to hear all about how the pivotal moments in his life made him turn his passion into a legitimate business!
