Southern Pressed Success: Olivia Esquivel On Creating Connections and Embracing Opportunities

Help us celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with Olivia Esquivel. Olivia channeled her passion for entrepreneurial thinking, collaboration, and healthy living to launch multiple ventures and become one of the leading female entrepreneurs in the Upstate.  In this episode of the Class E Podcast, the founder of Southern Pressed Juicery shares the philosophies and failures behind her success.  Esquivel discusses the value of mentorship, the importance of humility, and the power of creating connections, as well as her excitement for future opportunities. About the Guest: "Olivia Esquivel is co-owner of Southern Pressed Juicery. Olivia sparked life into her vision of a cold-pressed juice bar when she teamed up with Table 301. She and her husband, Anthony, are avid juicers and have always strived to live a healthy lifestyle but it was her role as a new mother that led her to co-founding Southern Pressed Juicery. Personally, Olivia felt a surge of responsibility to provide only the highest nutritional foods for her new family. She then set out to have a direct impact on her community and city by creating a hip place where people from all walks of life could incorporate healthy eating into their everyday lifestyles. Though this is Esquivel’s first venture into the restaurant industry, she owns a myriad of companies including A Public Affair PR, a public relations and event planning company based out of Greenville and Miami.  Olivia is also co-owner of The Petite Parade, a children’s store based in Greenville. She is wife to Anthony Esquivel, owner of Copa Indoor Soccer (the only premier indoor soccer facility in the region) and Mommy to Luca and Alessandro, the cutest juicers in all the land.
