EP101: Marty and Amber Flores - From Marine Corps to Pizza, Building Marty McPies Downtown

Marty and Amber Flores share the story of Marty McPies, the downtown Corpus Christi pizza restaurant born from a Marine Corps veteran's journey home. Marty spent years in Iraq, the Navy, railroads, and refineries while teaching himself to make pizza with one goal: come back to Corpus Christi and build a life. Amber left 10 years of teaching to help grow the business from food truck to brick-and-mortar. They discuss the reality of maxing out credit cards, dealing with PTSD, managing employees, staying married while working together 24/7, and why skateboarding culture and pizza culture are the same.
