It's only 92 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: one person that's the very first person at the top 93 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: of mountin errors. But other people have followed. Okay, So 94 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: so don't be shocked when you're going the store and 95 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: you see products on the shelf, you go, how did 96 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: that get on the shelf? Well, you need to find out, okay, 97 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: because not all these products on the shelves are from 98 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: major corporations, you know, you know, they really need to 99 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: understand that.

So so when you 107 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: when you talk about the opportunities to be successful speaking 108 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: of yourself personally, what jumps out the most, man, my 109 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: chef person is just having the ambition that was still 110 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: I mean my father and he was an entrepreneur, my 111 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: mother was, and they truly paved the way for me, 112 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: and they taught me, regardless of what the circumstances was, 113 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: is to dream.

Because you know, we 216 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: got on a conference call my producer, uh Samantha Taylor, 217 00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: and I got on the call him and me a 218 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: and were in Samantha, who he don't know at least 219 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: at least he know me. You know, he knows me, 220 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: so he could probably take a hit from me. But 221 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: then he got this unknown person and looked at his 222 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: video giving him notes and saying, when you now, it's 223 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: a little too fast here and I can't read the text. 224 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: The text needs to be white, and I think you 225 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: need to be you know, you're moving too too quick 226 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: when you're cooking. And I don't even know she cook 227 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: first of all. You know, so we got a person 228 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: who giving him notes. We don't even know if they 229 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: can cook because she's she's petite in size. When petite 230 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: people don't really eat. And so you know that you 231 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: know they eat. People get on my nerve, you know, 232 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: talking about they eat a lot. All they do that 233 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: one little burst of eating. I told you I could 234 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: eat okay, following a ride for a week. That was 235 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: their whole meal. You know, I'm saying, and so and 236 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: so I say that to say that, you know, you 237 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: were wanting to take these notes and make these adjustments. 238 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: And then Leslie, who you really don't know by technical guru, 239 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: she said, well he misspelled tablespoon. You know, she said, 240 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: I like the video, but he misspelled tablespoon. And so 241 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: you're taking all these hits right from all these unknown people. 242 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: I ain't saying the word. I was just letting people 243 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: do their things. You can't spell, told you can't cook. 244 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: But you you're hanging in there because all you see 245 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: is opportunity.

You never can take 251 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: a person you know. It's it's constructive criticism. And that's 252 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: that's what it is.

How does a person get on TV they 284 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: can cook? First of all, you gotta have a colinary 285 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: point of view. That's colorary point. The culinary point of 286 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: view is what's your ain't going? You can't go on 287 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: there if you notice everybody's on that cooking that they're 288 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: cooking a certain specific thing, a certain goal.

Hey focus on talking country y'all, y'all out. 296 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: And learned to nag with the powerful people. And that's 297 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: what I did, you know. I learned to connect with 298 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: the producers and the talent scouts, and I kept putting 299 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: my stepp self in front of them because persistency is key. 300 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: And I keep telling people that if it's something that 301 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: you desire, won't in life.

Man, 303 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: there were time of years when I thought, Hey, I 304 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: want to be at the bottom of the barrel. And 305 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: then by me saying the funny people my phone started 306 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: ranging they Hey, we want you to do this, and 307 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: and I was said, yes, man, I said, I wasn't 308 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: turning down nothing but my collar until I guess that, Hey, 309 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: they put me on the show like cutthroat kitchen man. 310 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: They had me cooking on the water.
