In this episode, we speak with Adam Pearson, co-founder of Fortunato No.4, a family-owned business producing some of the world’s finest chocolate. Their journey—from the streets of San Diego to the jungles of Peru—is an adventure you won’t want to miss.
After losing their family business, Adam, along with his father and brother, had to start over. Selling parts for mining equipment led them to a successful chocolate business serving global customers. Through perseverance, they discovered a rare cacao breed thought extinct. Today, their company produces premium chocolate and supports hundreds of cacao farmers in Peru.
Learn more in Adam’s book, Finding Fortunato. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Adam Pearson.
