A recorded Cracks Podcast interview (episode #133) in Spanish where Oso Trava interviews entrepreneur Javier (Xavier) Briseño about founding, growing, selling and later reacquiring Neve Gelato. The conversation traces his Italian inspiration for gelato, early product and retail choices (first store in Altavista, opened 35 stores, closed 12), the decision to sell portions of the business to a private-equity-led buyer (Taco Holding / Nexus) while keeping the factory, and later buying back brands (Neve Gelato, Sbarro). The episode also covers operational lessons (location, product quality, vertical integration into a large factory), hiring philosophy, pandemic impacts, and live audience Q&A with practical tips on M&A and scaling restaurants.
