Ep. 52 - Speed, Sauce & Startups — The Glenn Bocchino Story


Listen Later

In this fast-paced and flavorful episode of Born or Made, Larry sits down with Ernesto “Glenn” Bocchino—tech pioneer, race car champion, and pizza entrepreneur—to talk about how a love for business, adrenaline, and food shaped one wild and inspiring journey.


Glenn started in hospitality, spent a decade building his skills in the restaurant world, then took a leap into tech with Cybernation, one of the early broadband deployment companies in the U.S. He grew the business from a 3-person internet café to a $25M operation with 400+ employees across 15 states. But that was just the beginning.


He’s also the team owner and driver behind Team i-MOTO Racing, with a major win at Daytona and a long list of podium finishes. And now? He’s back to his roots—launching PIZZA ROX, a modern Neapolitan pizza brand built from scratch with global research and world-class talent like master chef Giulio Adriani.


Episode Highlights:


How Glenn scaled a small internet café into a national tech company


Why racing became more than a hobby—and how it fuels his business mindset


The story behind winning Daytona’s Fresh from Florida 200


What inspired the creation of PIZZA ROX—and why he's betting big on pizza


Whether success in tech, racing, and food is something you're born with—or built over time


This episode is a mix of grit, growth, and gear shifts. Was Glenn born for the fast lane—or did he build himself for it? Tune in to find out.
