When we enter adulthood we are faced with a decision of what we want for ourselves. There are people who end up working the same type of job until retirement and then there are others who apply their past learned skills to entrepreneurship, or into their new position. Patrick Manning is always helping others, especially when it comes to their business.

How to Get Involved:

Patrick Bolanos is a serial entrepreneur, business owner, and CEO of Trailer King Builders in Houston, Texas.

He was raised in Nicaragua, exposed to extreme poverty, and also had the fortune of being exposed to life in the United States traveling back and forth to both countries.

After college, Patrick’s career took him into the corporate world of banking where he learned the important lessons of understanding what you’re selling and why it’s important to believe in it.

Back in December 2017, Patrick was fired from his job as a CFO for a Restaurant Group.  With only $500 to his name, rent due, his wife, 3 children at home, and one on the way, he was forced to figure out how to pull his family out of this financial abyss that was strangling his life.

With no knowledge of how to build a trailer, Patrick simply figured all of it out and has now built it into the thriving empire of what’s now become Trailer King Builders.

This show highlights the failures, successes, lessons, and insights of Patrick and his guests. Bring your notepads and pens. You’re in for a real-life education.
