Buddy Valastro, The Cake Boss — An American Entrepreneurial Success Story
(www.equities.com) Interview with Buddy Valastro — the Cake Boss — owner of Carlo’s Bakery, entrepreneur, reality TV personality.
Excerpt: With the fourth of July holiday fast approaching, it’s great to spotlight stories that represent the true American Dream. I first met Buddy Valastro in 2009 when I pursued him for a corporate marketing campaign for Nasdaq and since have been in touch with him on a few projects and have enjoyed seeing him grow. Sharing a passion for creativity, determination and culture, Buddy and I hit it off and bonded over being first-generation Italian-Americans and building upon our parents’ foundation. Over the past decade, Buddy has evolved his business, reinvented himself and, notably during these trying times, has found a way to give back to the community.
I recently caught up with Buddy, an baker, entrepreneur, reality TV personality and all-around family guy. He is the owner of Carlo’s Bakery and the face of Buddy V’s Ristorante and known by many simply as the “Cake Boss” from a hit reality show that appeared over a decade ago.
