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.

“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.”
