Jon Lawrence Rivera’s inspiring story will put a smile on your face and also make you reevaluate your own life decisions in the best way possible. He started his career in banking, moved his way up, but found no passion for it. His passion was in the theatre as a director and so he took a leap and went for it full time – and his life changed forever and for the way better. And then the pandemic hit and like a lot of us, he asked himself, “Now what?” The answer was centered in his own upbringing, his family roots, specifically his family recipes. That’s when he opened Flip Kitchen and began feeding his community from his own home…wait for it…FOR FREE. And if that’s not enough to uplift and inspire you, there’s a twist you will not see coming and it all ties back to our previous episode with Betsy Zajko. Three words: Up. With. People. You can thank me now – I promise you will howl laughing and see it as further proof the world is good as well as way smaller than any of us ever think.
FYI – this is A-May-Zing May and we’re doubling episodes every Wednesday for the month! Enjoy this second brand new episode for May.
