La Queta Xampeny and Ventura Garrido, from the estate agency Keli, and the gastronome Pierre Roca, were convinced that it was necessary to turn around the negative attitude with which we are bombarded day and night and which is doing nothing more than aggravating the current situation. From this certainty was born last September Positive dining, an initiative that aims to present first-hand the experience of entrepreneurs who have known how to spot the opportunities in a declining market and who, by putting their skills to the test, have achieved success in various professional sectors.
With this premise and under the slogan “on the positive side”, on the second Wednesday of every month they organise dinners where various guests share their personal experiences in different fields with the rest of the diners.
These are people with a shared denominator: entrepreneurs who have not just sat on their hands, but rather, in the face of the economic stalemate, have known how to make the most of it. A series of individuals who put a lot of passion into what they do and for whom the word resign is not part of their vocabulary.
The project reminds us of other initiatives born under the shelter of the same spirit, such as El Movimiento en Blanco de la Bàrbara Aurell.
The last dinner held was attended by Óscar Palencia, a 27-year-old entrepreneur who created Palens, the brand of sunglasses made of wood that are now on everyone's lips.
“We can all have an opportunity, and if we don't have one, we must look for it” Vindicate Palens. Certainly, in turbulent times it is essential to be persistent, not to settle, and above all, to innovate.“One must commit”, explains Queta, because “We cannot forget that together we are building a better world”.
We really love such inspiring initiatives!
Queta Xampeny and Ventura Garrido from the Keli real estate agency, and the food writer Pierre Roca, were convinced that something needed to be done about the negative attitude we are bombarded with day and night, and from this conviction was born Sopars en positiu (Positive Dinners), an initiative to showcase the experiences of enterprising people.
