EP 95- Julio, Founder CORN HTX: From Street Corner Vendor to the American Dream
While the world is roaming with people who live and die by their scarcity mentalities, there are people on this planet who dare to dream. They dream big starting one step at a time. Some of those dreams begin in a field. Some begin in a factory, or on a boat, but some dreams start on the street corner.
Julio is the Founder of Corn HTX serving up delicious roasted corn on the cob, by the cup, or by the bowl. Julio immigrated to the United States and at 18 years old started selling popcorn until he had to make a pivot and saw something at a gas station one day that changed his life.
He saw someone selling corn, more affectionately known by the Hispanic community as Elote, and you've never had it, you're missing out on Christmas in a cup.
The first day Julio started his business selling elote', he made $400. The second day, $300, and for the next 4 months, he worked 12-18 hours a day doing the thing he loved best..........serving the public with food and smiles.
In this episode, you'll hear how:
- Julio was inspired to start his own business after seeing a man selling corn at a gas station.
- Corn HTX has rebranded its business and is now expanding its menu and has plans to open in other cities in Texas.

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 of 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.
