Business Resilience, Race, and Respect | MVW Food Trucks
In this episode, I'm in the shop at MVW Food Trucks with founders Jamie Thompson (Buddha) and Ryan McEwen. They discuss their challenging journey of starting a business in upstate New York, after being laid off from their respective jobs and building a food truck fabrication company from absolute scratch. Jamie and Ryan share their unique experiences, the dynamics of their partnership, and the obstacles they faced as a black and white business duo. Learn how they’ve navigated race dynamics in their business, the struggles with keeping the business afloat, and advice for anyone looking to get into the food truck industry. It's a conversation worth sharing, filled with lessons on perseverance, partnership, and passion. Learn more about MWV Trailers & Food Trucks at their website mvwtrailers.com and if you're ready to start your food truck, be sure to reach out.
