Eddie, owner of MyGuy Market, shares his journey from working three restaurant jobs to creating Fresno's most talked-about sandwich shop. His business stands as a testament to authenticity, hard work, and the power of finding your unique identity in the food industry.
• MyGuy Market was founded in February 2022 after Eddie and his business partner researched authentic chopped cheese sandwiches in New York
• The viral "Checkmate" sandwich—featuring an 8-hour smoked beef short rib that customers pull the bone from—transformed their business
• Eddie's father was a chef in Spain before the family immigrated to the US, instilling a strong work ethic and culinary foundation
• Running a small business presents challenges including work-life balance, physical exhaustion, and competing with corporate wages
• Eddie emphasizes the importance of authenticity in entrepreneurship—you don't need a suit and tie to be a successful business owner
• Community building should focus on support rather than gatekeeping, with genuine collaborations that don't require monetary exchanges
• Fresno has its own distinct Central Valley identity that isn't Northern or Southern California but deserves to be celebrated
• Outside of business, Eddie practices Muay Thai, participates in a running club, and enjoys chess and live music events
