S2, E29: "Faith, Family, and Business: Mario Padrino's Journey from Cuba to Leading a Culinary Legacy"

In this inspiring episode of The Fit Investor, we sit down with Mario Padrino, owner and chairman of Padrino’s Cuban Restaurants. Mario shares his remarkable story of growing up in Communist Cuba, immigrating to the United States, and eventually taking over his family's restaurant business, which has been a beloved South Florida institution since 1976.

Mario opens up about the challenges and triumphs of leading a family-owned business, his commitment to creating a company culture rooted in integrity, respect, and excellence, and how his deep Christian faith influences every aspect of his life. As a lay pastor and Bible study leader at First Baptist Fort Lauderdale, Mario's faith plays a pivotal role in how he navigates the restaurant industry and nurtures the relationships closest to him.

Join us for a heartfelt conversation about faith, family, and the pursuit of excellence in both business and life.
