Join Angel and Ricky as they air out the highs, lows, and rinse-and-repeat cycles of running a rock-and-roll-themed restaurant, Rock City Cafe in Colorado Springs. From pre-soaking their dreams in the service industry to tumbling through the challenges of COVID, this couple knows how to hang tough.
Ricky folds in stories of discovering his love for cooking as a kid with his grandmother in Miami and pressing on to master every role in the restaurant biz—chef, plumber, electrician, and even janitor. Meanwhile, Angel irons out the digital side of the business, crafts the menu, and keeps things fresh at home with their two little ones.
Together, they’ve navigated the delicate balance of family, passion, and business, proving that even with a heavy load, they can keep things spinning. Expect a load of laughs, love, and lessons in entrepreneurship—all wrapped in a rock-and-roll vibe that’s as fresh as their food.
*Please pardon some background noise in this episode. We had the delightful surprise of an unexpected guest joining us in the podcast room—Angel and Ricky’s youngest son—who brought his own energy and excitement to the recording!
We mentioned this book during the podcast: Greenlights By Matthew McConaughey
