OUR COMMUNITY: Meet Irakli (Rocky) Bandzeladze

Meet Irakli (Rocky) Bandzeladze, EVP, Head of Business Banking at Banc of California. And hear his fascinating "immigrant's story" that takes him from his native war torn country of Georgia (around the time the Russians invaded there as well in the 90s) to America (and then California). With little in his pocket but a dream.  A dream that took him to college and eventually into banking. And recently earned him a doctorate in Organizational Leadership from Pepperdine. A skill that serves him well as a board member for the Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.  Proving again the power of the immigrant's journey. (And that you don't have to be Hispanic to be part of OUR COMMUNITY!)  On this week's OUR COMMUNITY PODCAST.

OUR COMMUNITY: Meet Victor Vasquez, EYEGLASS STORE of OC

Meet Victor Vasquez, owner of the EYEGLASS STORE of Orange County. And hear his amazing journey that started on the toughest streets of Santa Ana (in and out of juvenile detention and jail) until a life changing miracle happened one day when a total stranger approached him out of the blue and pointed him a new direction. Opening his eyes to the world of optics (a world he'd never seen before).  Which led him to taking classes and  eventually starting his own business.  Finding a profession that profoundly changed his life and the others around him.  Volunteering as Santa Claus at Christmas and playing the part in real life, passing out thousands of pairs of eyeglasses to kids in need. A miraculous journey that took him from some of the toughest streets to main street.  All in the blink of an eye. On OUR COMMUNITY PODCAST.  Powered by the Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
