サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Omar Habib's parents taught him one thing his entire life: education is everything.
Growing up in a low-income area of Houston, TX, Omar's parents stressed the importance of him getting a great education to help create a stable future. Omar took that advice and got a degree in engineering while working full time to help pay for his tuition, even though he always thought his passion would be in business.
However, when the COVID pandemic struck, his cousin told him to come learn real estate with him in New Jersey. Within a few months, Omar realized that the lifestyle the business world afforded him was what he wanted to do. His cousin realized Omar was a foodie and suggested he open his restaurant one day.
Omar didn't take the suggestion too seriously at first, but soon, the right opportunities fell into place and Omar started a Smashburger and Hot Chicken restaurant called Smashville in New Brunswick, NJ. At only 27 years old and with no restaurant experience, Omar risked it all to try to reach his dreams. Within a few months, Smashville was a hit and now Omar wants to share his story to young entrepreneurs to help inspire them to not overthink it and just take the plunge.
