ASK THE EXPERT | Life After Carmen’s Best w/ Paco Magsaysay

Carmen’s Best founder, Paco Magsaysay, talks about his personal experiences building and scaling Carmen’s Best, best known for their premium artisanal ice cream. He goes in-depth on the company’s recent acquisition by the Metro Pacific Group, the changes that shift has brought in his life, and what it means to be a lifelong underdog.

The Independent Investor spoke with the founder of Carmen’s Best Group, Paco Magsaysay, in this episode 7 of Ask The Expert. 

We discuss Paco’s very personal experiences building and scaling Carmen’s Best, best known for their premium artisanal ice cream.  He goes in-depth in discussing the company’s recent acquisition by the Metro Pacific Group, the changes that shift has brought in his life, and what it means to be a lifelong underdog — as a young immigrant in the US, leading a mom-and-pop ice cream operation, and now rolling his sleeves up once again as a niche player in the telco industry.

It’s a masterclass in the importance of staying scrappy and knowing who you are as an entrepreneur.
