182. Sunday League Series | Mauri Salazar - Paleta Planeta Owner & Superfan

Join us as we welcome Mauricio "Mauri" Salazar, co-founder of San Jose's hottest ice cream shop, Paleta Planeta, to the pod! 🍦⚽️ Mauri takes us inside the story of how a pandemic-era bet on himself turned into one of San Jose's most exciting and creative small businesses — all while keeping soccer at the heart of everything he does. We dive into what it really takes to build something from nothing, the grind of going from a garage to a downtown storefront, and how his passion for soccer has brought him some great experiences with pro teams. We talk: * Growing up Mexican-American in San Jose and how soccer shaped his identity. * Building Paleta Planeta from his parents' garage to a brick-and-mortar right next to San Jose City Hall. * Where soccer and the business cross paths and what that community means to him. * Bringing paletas to Liga MX teams and meeting some legends of the game. Whether you're an entrepreneur chasing your first idea or a soccer lover who bleeds for the culture, Mauri's story is one you don't want to miss. 🎙️⚽️🍦
