Host Tom Kraeutler interviews Carlos Mongalo is a 2nd generation Nicaraguan immigrant who went from being a medical student - to running his father's flooring business - to becoming a flooring innovator after inventing a new type of flooring together with his father. However, his drive did not end there. Understanding that the flooring industry had a huge need for new installers and no organized trade program to help train them, Carlos launched the National Flooring Contractors Apprenticeship Program, a nationwide program to train and connect students with qualified contractors, thus lifting the entire industry. The Profiles Podcast is presented by LL Flooring.
