Speaker 3: bread baking in twenty sixteen and actually for two years

24
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: I was working full time at the CPA, and one

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: day a week I would wake up at like three

26
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 3: am and bake bread for friends and family and deliver

27
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 3: it before going off to the client's office.

28
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: So amazing.

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and tell me about the decision you made to

30
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: quit accounting and open your own bakery.

31
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, being the accountant I am, it was like

32
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 3: it was a measured approach. So first leaving the accounting

33
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: field was a lot of support encouragement from my wife Lauren.

34
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: I eventually just got to a point where all I

35
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 3: would do in my free time was either bake bread

36
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: or talk about baking bread. And Lauren was like, listen, like,

37
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: we don't have any kids yet, we don't have any debt.

38
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: If you want to do something crazy like quit your

39
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: CPA job, like now at the time to do it.

40
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: So I quit. I was in twenty nineteen when I

41
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: quit my k job. But being the like conservative accountant,

42
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: I couldn't just go straight into like opening my own bakery.

43
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: That seemed too big of a jump. So I wait

44
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: and I worked at Yeah, and I went and got

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: a job at JUSA off Abbot Kenny and Venice.

46
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: Uh, dude, hold on, bro hold have you ever been

47
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: with those rotisserie chickens they do there.

48
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I have, that's at the hot

49
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 3: food section. But I would, I would, my luck.

50
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: That's dude. That chicken a juica is something of legend anyways.

51
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: Not in God yeah, yeah.

52
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,959

53
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 3: the Forstami sandwich is. Yeah. So that's where I got

54
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 3: like my professional training was at Justa. I was on

55
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,399

57
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: and that's when I got furloughed. And at that point

58
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 3: I'd already been like, my goal so I love juice

59
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: to My goal still was always to open my own place.

60
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: So that furloughed was really where like I was like,

61
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: all right, I guess it's now or never. So that's
