In this episode of the Reconnected Podcast, host Luke Abbott sits down with the remarkable Pere Selles, a man whose life is a tapestry of adventure, business acumen, and cultural exchange. Pere shares his journey from Barcelona to the United States, where he carved out a niche in the food industry by introducing Spanish cuisine to American palates. With anecdotes of his early days selling olive oil from the trunk of his car to his current role with the Jose Andres Group, Pere's story is one of resilience and innovation. Listeners will be inspired by his tales of building a business from the ground up, fostering relationships with small family producers in Spain, and his ongoing mission to bring authentic Spanish flavors to the U.S. market. Beyond business, Pere's zest for life is evident in his adventurous spirit, from mountain biking across the U.S. to his plans for a road trip to Baja California. This episode is a celebration of cultural exchange, entrepreneurship, and living life to the fullest.
