"Building Bridges: From Haiti to Success in America with Wes Moussignac"

On this episode of the Stories to Create podcast, Cornell Bunting sits down with businessman and entrepreneur Wes Moussignac to discuss his journey and work in Southwest Florida. Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Wes shares how he grew up in what he described as the slums and left Haiti at around eight years old due to the violence caused by rebels in his community. He then moved to the South Bronx, New York, where he pursued multiple trades and acquired licenses in various fields.
