Tasting Sweet Success Jason Mercado Turned His Life Around Through Baking
and Has Made it His Mission to Help Others Do The Same By Rosalidia Dubon
Jason Mercado, CEO of Sweet Mission, acquired his impeccable baking skills from his grandmother and by studying Food Network shows. He has now perfected several original recipes. Jason’s love for baking is matched only by his love for helping others which is how Sweet Mission came to be. Sweet Mission's long term goal is to train and employ individuals from vulnerable backgrounds including the homeless to deliver superb products while offering hope and a foundation to those in need of a second chance. Jason’s motto is “Everyone deserves a second chance.” His own second chance came in the form of a scholarship through Entrepreneur Works, which allowed him to participate in their 11-week business startup course. His goal is to pass along that knowledge and encourage the people he plans to employ to take steps in creating businesses of their own. He wants to inspire with his story, empower by giving back and let others know they should follow their dreams and not give up when the going gets tough.
