Smash Jibarito owner Josean Irizarry talks about his restaurant and its successes as well as childhood struggles and building confidence

@smash_jibarito Owner, @jdi_infnt , slides to @pvtstck to discuss creating Smash Jibarito, vending at @suenosfestival & @lollapalooza , overcoming struggles from childhood, and finding his confidence as he continues to grow.

In the song, “Autumn Drive,” Bryson Tiller says, “Cause I miss the basics / rolling up two swishers in my A6 / kick it, watch a flick in my basement,” Tiller reflects on the times when life was simple. When the responsibility of others lives weren’t places on his shoulders, and the only thing he had to worry about was the simple things in life. Josean & I take a trip down memory lane. We reflect on the moments when life was simple, and we were being shaped by life unknowingly.

Also discussed: Embracing role as a leader, overcoming ego, and learning to let go of relationships that don’t serve you.
