But I know you've 39 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 2: had some ups and downs. So what are some lessons 40 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: that you've learned on your entrepreneurialship journey that you could 41 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 2: potentially share with the audience. 42 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 3: Who you know, what's interesting is is can you hear me? Yeah, perfectly, Okay, 43 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 3: I just see me. Okay, let me tell you something 44 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 3: so interesting. 45 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 4: And I want you all to go back and go 46 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 4: through the archive of the evolution. 47 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: Of my interviews. 48 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 4: And if y'all know anything about me, you know I 49 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 4: don't lie about what's happening in my trajectory and business. 50 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 3: Like, I'm always very honest about the journey. 51 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 4: There's a lot of great things that happen, but a 52 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 4: lot of people don't talk about in business when are 53 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 4: not so great things happen that requires you to make 54 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 4: hard decisions in your business. 55 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 3: So there's there's a lot of. 56 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 4: Things that have happened since the last time that I 57 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 4: spoke to y'all. I've had to close some doors. So 58 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 4: here I have this big pop and brand, it's super 59 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 4: successful that everybody loves. But I got a location that 60 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 4: nobody shows up to because it was poor site selection, right, 61 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 4: So that's one piece of information that I really got 62 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 4: the opportunity to learn about, Like location is important. So 63 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 4: whoever is in the restaurant business and watching this program, 64 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 4: like it's not enough to just say all right. This 65 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 4: feel good in my spirit because I'm a spirit kind 66 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 4: of entrepreneur. You really got to lock in and get 67 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 4: the data because the data will allow you to make 68 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 4: sound decisions. And I always didn't move by the data. 69 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 4: Y'all follow me. So that was the first big thing. 70 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 4: So I've had to close doors, and as an entrepreneur 71 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 4: facing the reality that I had to close my doors 72 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 4: for business, part of you feel like a failure, and 73 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 4: then part of you feel like should I be embarrassed 74 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 4: that I had to close Dore stores when you got 75 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 4: Burger King, Popeyes and all of these other big brands 76 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 4: that have been around for the test of time doing 77 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 4: the same thing and nobody really talks about it. 78 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 3: So navigating through that has been difficult. 79 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 4: But also learning that it's just business and there's no 80 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 4: emotion in business and you got to be able to 81 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 4: buckle down and make decisions based on the trajectory of 82 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 4: the business so that you can continue to do the 83 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 4: right thing. Those are kind of like the biggest things 84 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 4: that I've learned, and I promise you is the Harvard 85 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 4: of entrepreneurship. Like money couldn't have paid for that. That 86 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 4: is pure on experience, pure on figuring out what works 87 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 4: what doesn't work. Y'all got to imagine, I'm in the 88 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 4: vegan space, so I ain't got no competitor. You understand 89 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 4: what I'm saying. So that's a good thing, and it's 90 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 4: a bad thing. It's a great thing because I'm leading 91 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 4: the pack, right, I'm leading the opportunity to show people 92 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 4: that veganism can work. It can be real, people can 93 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 4: have it. It can be something that you eat every day. 94 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 4: But then on the flip side, because there is no competitor, really, 95 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 4: there's no metrics, there's no comparison. 96 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 3: And you know, like in real estate you see comps, 97 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 3: but where are the comps? 98 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 4: So I am creating the lane in real time and 99 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 4: I don't have anything to compare it to. So when 100 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 4: I make decisions in the business and I come back 101 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, maybe that wasn't the best decision, 102 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 4: it's really hard to base it off for everything. But 103 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 4: every day is a learning opportunity for me, and I 104 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 4: want people to see this interview in all of my 105 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 4: other interviews and understand that, like entrepreneurship, it. 106 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 3: Is not easy. 107 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 4: But if you utilize it as a learning opportunity, every 108 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 4: single time, you show up, then you'll be a lot 109 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 4: better off. 110 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you're doing an amazing job. 111 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 4: You know. 112 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: I just saw y'all at essence And every time I 113 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: say y'all because I saw you and Derek together, and 114 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: it's beautiful to watch marriage. It's beautiful to watch union, 115 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: it's beauty to watch family, and it's even better to 116 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: watch it as you both are your own entrepreneurs. I wonder, 117 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,679 Speaker 1: because you don't have comps, how often are you looking 118 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: to what he's doing in terms of scaling his business 119 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: and some of the mishaps and some of the glories 120 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: that he's had. Do you say, all right, I need 121 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: to incorporate. How much are y'all leaning on each other 122 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: to get ideas and learn from actual business? 123 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 3: Right? 124 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: You said you have to close stores? Are you now 125 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: going like, hey, hon, the location is important as you're 126 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: trying to scare These are the things like how often 127 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: does that conversation happen? 128 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 4: It happens every day. Let me tell you how much 129 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 4: it happens. So I'm gonna give you like real deals 130 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 4: so you understand the timeline. When I got twenty five 131 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 4: million dollars to grow and scale my business, Derek was 132 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 4: in the middle of a ten million dollar deal that 133 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 4: fell through. So here we are. We both have these 134 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 4: popular companies. We're making the same amount of money. I 135 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 4: just had more locations than him. But I was profitable 136 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 4: at the time and he wasn't. So he had to 137 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 4: sit in the shadows into the background, not. 138 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,239 Speaker 3: By choice, but just by way of virtue. 139 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 4: And he watched my business grow in the trajectory of 140 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 4: my business. 141 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 3: But then he also watched the mistakes. 142 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 4: That I made along the way, because when you think 143 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 4: about high level I didn't always hire the right people. 144 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 4: I didn't always put the right people in place. I 145 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 4: didn't always pick the best site selection. So he got 146 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 4: the opportunity to learn what not to do or what 147 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 4: to do when he started, you know, growing his business 148 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 4: and scaling his business. So now Derek is in a 149 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 4: really right space in his business. 150 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 3: It's growing. He almost had thirty franchise that he sold. 151 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 4: His company is profitable, He's completely turned the business around, 152 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 4: so he is in a really right space. 153 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: So here I am.
