Manny Fernandez spent his early years in Venezuela working at his parents’ restaurant, where he learned the value of hard work, delivering exceptional products, and saving money. During his high school years, he had saved enough to invest in a small business that unfortunately did not succeed. However, the lessons he learned were priceless.

Manny migrated to the United States and has owned an automotive shop in Deerfield Beach, Florida, for three decades. His shop specializes in rebuilding transmissions, and for all of those three decades, it has been their sole focus. Seven years ago, Manny expanded his entrepreneurial vision into Strategic Business Intermediaries, where he assists other entrepreneurs in acquiring and selling businesses.

Join us as we explore his entrepreneurial journey, which nearly came to an end when he was only 23 years old. While working for a company, owned by an individual currently on death row, and driving its van, Manny was shot at seven times. Four of the seven bullets struck him, but miraculously, he survived. God had plans for his life.
