70
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: don't know what to cooking turkey like that. It's two

71
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: types of people. Okay, you already got your set, so

72
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm here to help those people that come. That's what

74
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,680

91
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: away from the holidays, because you really should be having

112
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: opinionated group too, and they want to if they make

113
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: something I can make it better. I go cool, don't

114
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: be challenging me. I'm just putting it out here just

115
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: to let you know there are people out there who

116
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: don't know how to cook, and that's what that's that's

117
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: your role in life. The rolling life is not. They're

118
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: professional out there people who think they're professional, you're not

119
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: gonna change their mind. You know, they got recipes. They

120
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: don't even pull out a cup or teach sport. They

121
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: just start making stuff, you know, just they say, I'll

122
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: love watching some cooking show. They stay a half a

123
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: cup and it just grabs something with their hands, just

124
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: put in there, like that's just cooking with instincts. You

125
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: can't really teach that. It's just a gut feeling, you

126
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: gotta know. But everybody doesn't have that. So for the

127
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: people that don't have it, they have to follow a recipe.

128
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: That's okay too. You can get your teaspoons and measuring

129
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: cups and you can flow right along with us. And

130
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: you know, our relationship is a long term because we

131
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: met when I was, you know, running into the co

132
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: created Steve Harden Morning Show with Steve Harvey and I

133
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: was executive producer and uh, I used to come over

134
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: there and because here's your phone, we had to deal

135
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: with her phone and used to make the recipes. Now

136
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: at the time, where were you in transitioning? Because of

137
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: the fact that I knew you was had had a

138
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: corporate job. So what I want to just talk about

139
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: a little bit about that too, because a lot of

140
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: people are sitting and listening to the show trying to

141
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: make decisions, afraid to make decisions about what they really

142
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: want to do versus what they're actually doing currently. How

143
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: did you make that decision? Well, you know what, I

144
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: think anybody listening, if you're wondering like should I do this?

145
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: Can I do this? This is the best time to

146
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: do that in twenty nineteen. I encouraging everybody to take

147
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: that leap of faith because it wasn't and it's not

148
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: easy for anybody. It definitely wasn't easy for me. I

149
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: mean I started. I had my degree in marketing, and

150
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: I thought that's what I wanted to do. But I

151
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: found myself going to a job every day and I'm like,

152
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: this is not this can't be the rest of my life.

153
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm not being fulfilled. I'm sitting at a desk. This

154
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: that's not my purpose. And I wasn't really sure what

155
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: I fully wanted to do. And I definitely wasn't thinking

156
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: about being on television. I just knew that that wasn't

157
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: the right place for me. And when they started laying

158
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: people off because businesses started going crazy, and it was like,

159
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: this is your moment. They were like, we can demote

160
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: you and you can stay, or you can just just

161
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: take your papers and go. And I'm the only person

162
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: in the office that was that raised my hand was

163
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,559
Speaker 1: like let me go. And in that moment, I wasn't

164
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: I still wasn't sure. And you don't have to have

165
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: a one percent of the plan. You just got to

166
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: start walking by faith, because you know what you're capable of.

167
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: You know that if you you want to be a

168
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: shelf or you want to be a cook, you know

169
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: what your talent, you know what good at and that's

170
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to pursue. You really should be happy

171
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: every day about what you're doing. Me right now, I

172
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: am living the dream. I mean, I started my own

173
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: business um as a personal chef and a caterer and

174
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: transition that into auditioning for reality TV shows on on

175
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: the Food Network and just doing those those things you

176
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: never know where they're gonna take you. And from that,

177
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean years later, I'm still on television and now

178
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,679
Speaker 1: I'm doing bigger and better things, appearing on daytime talk shows.

179
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be on Good Morning America on Thursday cooking

180
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: for Thanksgiving. That is so there's nowhere on my paper

181
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: here about I just slip that in because I'm just

182
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: so excited because it's blessings like that. I'm like, that

183
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: is one of my dream morning shows. And then to

184
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: get an email like we want you to come cook

185
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: for Thanksgiving and you can't write that, you can't you

186
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: can't plan that. That is just being a part of

187
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: the process of walking in faith and you just got

188
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: to see where God takes you. And that's really how

189
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: I ended up where I am. We're good. Let's talk

190
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,640

00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: people that, like I said, that want that start to

196
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: panic and it can be a lot of pressure, especially

197
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: if this is your first time cooking for something. You've

198
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: got a lot of family coming over and you're like

199
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: you're starting to feel that anxiety of oh, I don't

00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: want to ruin this, so you want to pull it off.

201
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: So that's really what I'm here to kind of put

202
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: people at ease and let you know it's okay. It's

Speaker 1: just a turkey. He can't beat you. Like you can

204
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: do this, but it's really about getting everything in order.

205
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: So you got it, and I call it the three piece.

206
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna plan, we're gonna prep, and then it's time

00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: to the store like, oh go give me some sugar,

212

00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: it seems like you put those together without the raisins.

00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: It's the most amazing dessert because it's like a sweet

220

Speaker 1: staff tomorrow. And I'm gonna make the raisin bread putting.

230
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: Tell me how's that done? How do you make that? Well,

231
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna start with You're gonna peel and dice about

232
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: a pound of sweet potatoes and you can boil them

233
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: off just to get them for tender. If I'm in

234
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: a rush, I even pop them in the micro for

235
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: about six to eight minutes just to get them. And

236
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna leave the stuep potatoes there, and then you're

237
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: gonna start in your bread pudding. So you can use

238
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: the day old bread, a French bread, Italian bread, any

239
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: type of crusty bread that you have thick cut and

240
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: you'll do it, babe, about six to eight cups of that.

241
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: And then you start with the bread pudding parts. You know,

242
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: you've gotta have your milk in there. We can do sugar.

243
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: I do sweet condensed milk, sweeten. I mean, I'm Cinnamons.

244
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: And you know what my secret is, Everybody write this down.

245
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: It is freshly graded nutmeg, not just the one you

246
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: shake out of there. You take that microplane, you you

247
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: get that nutmeg and you greated across the top. That

248
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: is what's going to take your bread pudding to the

249
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: next level where people are like, what is that? Because

250
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: it's just so distinct in that flavor. You're gonna combine

251
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: the sweet potatoes with your bread and all your milk

252
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: and your sugar and everything, and soak that in there

253
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: for about thirty minutes and you're gonna break baking in

254
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: your baking dish. Its same way you would do your

255
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: regular bread pudding. And the sweet potato just adds a

256
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: little bit of color, a little bit of flair, a

257
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: little more textured, a little more sweetness to it, and

258
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: you'll bake it off any other oven until is beautiful

259
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: golden brown and you know it's ready because of the

260
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: whole house smells just like heaven. I mean, it is

261
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: just bubbling, delicious and I love to top it off.

262
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: I put a little bourbon in mind. You if you

263
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: want to kick it up and now roll and now

264
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: we can drop. You gotta warm people. Don't let the

265
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: kids get in this, but I do it at the end.

266
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: So if you want to do a quick sauce, this

267
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: is it. The fastest thing you've ever imagined. You get

268
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: a cup of vanilla ice cream and you let it melt,

269
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: and you're like waiting what you're gonna do with that thought?

270
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: You leave the ice cream home. No, this is gonna

271
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: make you know, like that crimon glaze, that French sauce

272
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: that you can make, and you gotta cook it over

273
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: the store for a long time. We're not doing that.

274
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: Melts some vanilla ice cream, add a shot of bourbon

275
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: to it, and when people start spooning out their bread pudding,

276
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: just drill a little bit of that on tops. You

277
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: get that shot of that bourbon creaminess of the vanilla

278
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: ice cream and then that deliciously sweet golden brown bread pudding.

279
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: Now that don't make you hunger right now, something's wrong,

280
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: but it makes me. Hunger makes me mad. Now, don't

281
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: get mad. First of all, our fans are listening to this,

340
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: So I really tell people like I am here to

341
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: inspire you for whatever it is that you're excited to do.

342
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter as long as you're excited to

343
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: do something. And for me, it definitely wasn't easy. And

344
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been on a journey for for a

345
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: minute with these people like, oh, you're overnight success. I'm like, no,

346
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: y'all just been sleeping on this so all this time.

347
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: But no, I feel like every time I wanted to

348
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: give up and it got hard, there'll be one little

349
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: thing that come up and be like, you know, I

350
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: can't do this more. The money's not coming in right

351
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: and things are I'm just gonna stop and do something else.

352
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: And then I'd get a call to to do a

353
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: show here or to be on the news here. And

354
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: those little things you need them because they just kind

355
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: of encourage you to let you know you're doing the

356
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: right thing and to stay on that path and don't

357
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: give up. And there'll be little things that people, someone

358
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: will say something to you, something small will happen, and

359
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: it's just the way of the universe or God, whatever

360
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: you believe, and it's just kind of nudging you to say,

361
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: keep doing what you're doing. I have greater things for you.

362
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: But you've got to stay faithful to the to to

363
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: the purpose and the path. You've got to go through

364
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: the process. You can't avoid it. Like everybody wants to

365
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: jump and leaps and bounds and you can't skip the

366
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: line on the process. You have to go through it.

367
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: But once you get to the front of that line

368
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: on it, it's a glorious thing and you're so you're

369
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: you're you're proud of yourself because you know you accomplished

370
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: something and you're supposed to share your story with other

371
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: people to inspire them. So that's really why I do

372
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: what I do, just to inspire other people to do

373
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: what they need to do and then feed them. There

374
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: you go. That's how I get people to the table.

375
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to come with food. And then once I

376
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: get you to sit down, then I tell you a story.

377
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: Then I feed your soul. That's how you get got

378
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: to get them first. I didn't remember this when I

379
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: first met. You know, she was a little roosted back

380
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: in the day. She she got a story teen years later.

381
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: This talk far as you know, the incentences correctly. But

382
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: she's a motivator. But Chef, I tease when I say

383
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: that because of the fact that even back then when

384
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: I did were roughly a tenure relationship we've had. It's

385
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,719
Speaker 1: just that you always you knew your craft, you always

386
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: was polished. She always had to look, you know she

387
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: come through that door. You know, hair was right, make

388
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: up right, clothes right, look good, look good. That's what

389
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: you gotta do. And she did it too, no doubt

390
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: about it. But what she wanted to make sure she

391
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: did the proper work for the client. In other words,

392
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: she never she never got bigger than the moment. And

393
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people do that, you know, they want

394
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: to or they use the client to get to your situation.

395
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: They try to like put the client in the background.

396
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: And that's where a lot of people make mistakes with

397
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: these opportunities. They're called flashing, the flashing the band and

398
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: because relationships really is why you're here today. The relationship

399
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: is why why she's on the show with me. We

400
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: had a great relationship back then, and now she's on

401
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: my show, a relationship with Now I have a relationship

402
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: with a chef about to go on Good Morning America

403
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: this Thursday. Now, you know, were winning here, I'm winning,

404
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: she winning everybody and everybody can win. That's the beautiful thing.

405
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: It is enough room for everybody to win. Cool. Now

406
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: that being said, what what what's just talking about? There's

407
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: a hunted house in this Gingerbread show. Because the reason

408
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: I'm asking this that you know, television is interesting because

409
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, they make make it seem like things happen

410
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: very fast, and I see and I see these these designs. Well,

411
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: when you did the show, what what leaked out to

412
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: you to most about these designs and these creative people

413
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: who come on these shows because they just everyday people

414
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: who have been selected to come on these shows to compete. Yeah,

415
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think what impressed me the most was

416
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: the stories. How everybody had a different background. Some people

417
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: it was their first time in a competition doing gingerbread houses,

418
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: or people have been doing it for years and they

419
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: have made this their craft and every year there there

420
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: it gets bigger and more creative. So I really was

421
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: just like to hear people where they come from and

422
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: why they're doing what they do. Like that, that's the

423
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 1: most amazing thing to me. And I think when I

424
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: go out and I travel and I do all these

425
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: shows on cooking channels, food Network, and I go to restaurants,

426
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: it's really I enjoyed meeting people and just hearing how

427
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: they got there and what it is they're trying to accomplish.

428
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: And so many other people like these are not you

429
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: know people casted from wherever, like these are regular people.

430
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: So if it's something that you're interested and you see

431
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: these shows and you sit at home like I could

432
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: done that, well I could have done it. I encourage

433
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: everybody apply for these shows. They really will call you back.

434
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: You're that good. They will call you back because they

435
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: want The network can't and the shows can't flourish without

436
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: people like you that put themselves out there. And that's

437
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: how I got my start, was putting myself out there

438
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: for a competition show or you did a competition show.

439
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: Started my career back in Food Network when I did

440
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: Food Network Star when season five. So that's how millions

441
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: of people just got to know my name and see it.

442
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: And it's just been going one show after the other

443
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: after the other. From that. The great thing is I

444
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: get to be in the judges seat now like I

445
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: used to, so it's nice to be on the other

446
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: side of the table. It's it's that's how we get started.

447
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: So I really encourage people apply for these shows because

448
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: they really will call you and they have to oppetellate

449
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: you something. They've called me three times to compete and

450
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm not. I just know I said no. I can't compete.

451
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: I'm a little this show not you know that that's hard,

452
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: that competition is hard, and I'm just let everybody know that.

453
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: You know, you really you have to be on top

454
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: of you have to take criticism publicly and on tape correctly.

455
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: That that's tough for me to But the thing is

456
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: when you when I just first started, I'm nervous about

457
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: doing competition, but I said to myself, if I can

458
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: do this, I can do anything. And that's really what

459
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: it's about. The shows that you're going, they're they're really

460
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: not there to make you look like a complete idiot,

Speaker 1: do their very best because they want to make good TV.

464
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: Like they do their very best to make you shine.

465
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean, so you show, I'll have to do a

466
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: show up know your stuff, and I mean the clock

467
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 1: is taken. But you just keep going like you can't live.

468
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: There's so many things that are happening around you. You

469
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: can't let those things get to you. And you do

470
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: one competition, you're like, you know what, that wasn't so bad,

471
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: and you it's like getting a tattoo. You want another one?

472
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,719
Speaker 1: You want to do another one? And a little funny

00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: you you're you're a good salesman too, You're a good salesman.

474
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: I'm just here to motivate the world. That's all I

475
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: want to do. But it's hard to judge. I've seen

476
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: you judge. Now. It's hard being to judge because usually

477
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 1: like three of you guys, and it did, and all

478
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: three of you guys got to taken. You can't. Can

479
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: you agree? Are you kind of agree? But you agree

480
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: in different ways? Correct? No, of course, with editing, it

481
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: looks like we make that decision in fourteen seconds, but

482
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: there's a lot of times we go back and forth

483
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: and it's two against one and then it's like we

484
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: we have to write it down. We have to start

485
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: from scratch and do numbers. Like wait a minute. It's

486
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: not an easy task. And I take it to heart

487
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: because I know these people have a story. They're there

488
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: to get that money or win that prize for for

489
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: whatever thing that they're hoping for. And I'm a dream

490
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: of myself, so I never want to sit there and

491
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm I don't want to kill anybody.

492
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: But the fact is, if you're there on the show.

493
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if you really take the prize and win.

494
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: Because I didn't win my season. I came in fourth

495
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: out of ten people. And look where I am now.
