Wake N Bake Donuts: Danny Tangredi HGP#015

06/29/2018 hourglass pod Episodes 1:45:57 Comments Off on Wake N Bake Donuts: Danny Tangredi HGP#015

Wake N Bake donuts and coffee owner, Danny Tangredi, always had a knack for making sweet stuff from a young age. From making pies and jams to entering them in the county fair; he always knew he wanted his own business. Things got real cloudy in college and one hazy day the idea for Wake N Bake donuts was born. With no prior donut making experience and sitting on the idea for more than 10 years, Danny Tangredi finally made the leap of faith to follow his dream and open a unique donut shop.

Wake N Bake is popular for their “limited edition” controversial donuts: Snoop Dogg blunt, Tide Pod donut, Election donut, School Shooting donut, 420 donut, Avett Brothers banjo, Ludacris booty, and the Willie Nelson joint.

Wake N Bake recently won the Cooking Channel’s Donut Showdown, “Wake Up Call”, grand prize of $10,000 and they have been named “Best Donuts in North Carolina” by Buzzfeed. They have also teamed up with a local brewery to create a Wake N Bake Stout and a local burger shop to create a donut burger. I think it’s safe to say these donuts get a lot of (well deserved) attention. There’s also some talk of franchising and adding more locations so be on the lookout for a Wake N Bake location coming near you.

“None of the secrets of success will work unless you do.” -Fortune Cookie

My guest this week describes himself as a catholic boy from the midwest who likes to drink beer. Dr. Aaron Richardet, or Dr. Aaron as his patients call him, has many side hustles in addition to his day job (http://www.wilmingtonspineandjoint.com). He owns a custom car company (https://www.ospreycustomcars.com) that has made cars for celebrities, such as Phil Mickelson and Usher Raymond. He also owns a $3 million/year marketing company with 240 locations across the U.S., and he just teamed up with Kevin Harrington from Shark Tank to promote his FDA approved Amazon product, The SlimCo 4 Home Laser Lipo Body Fat Reduction Machine. https://www.theslimco.com or https://www.theslimco4home.com

As if all of these jobs don’t keep him busy enough, he still finds time to travel with his family while he and his wife homeschool their three kids. Dr. Aaron is a numbers guy who likes to take risks and credits his success to being able to take more risk than most people. Learn how Dr. Aaron went from a small town in Missouri to starting his first company in high school, how he manages 3 businesses, and is still able to take 3-4 extended road trips with his family every year.

Joining us this week is Alex Torres to talk about the Intergalactic Body Surf Championships, also known as, Whomporama.

“We make a living by what we GET. We make a life by what we GIVE.” -Winston Churchill.

Summertime is when most teachers choose to relax…unless you’re Kevin Murphy. Kevin teaches 5th grade English at Mary C. Williams Elementary School August through June and then spends his entire summer giving back. Kevin and his awesome team of instructors offer free surf lessons to help people, who might not otherwise, spend time in the ocean. Kevin founded Ocean Cure over 10 years ago and serves a wide variety of groups: impoverished youth, gang survivors, wounded warriors and their families, people with disabilities, cancer survivors, and seniors, just to name a few. Research has already proven that spending time at the beach is good for your well being; Ocean Cure is proof that the ocean really does offer healing powers. I hope this week’s episode inspires people to help others. “Help your neighbor, help a stranger.”
