It changed my life completely, well, 59 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: it changed my life from a standpoint of just watching 60 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: an African American man, because you know, it's really interesting 61 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: how we look at business and how we look at 62 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: what is success and what you can do because you're 63 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: an entrepreneur, you're businessman, and sometimes people see they don't 64 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: see that lane and just see as a barbecue guy, 65 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: cook or a chef. But you're in a business, you 66 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: employ people, and so you can get stereotype what people 67 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: say as a career, this is a career for you. 68 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: This is a you're that you're making money, You're you, 69 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: you you you have boys, you have a beautiful wife, 70 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: and you have you're sustaining a very positive lifestyle. And 71 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: it's a career for you. So do you get caught 72 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: up in the stereotypes of people thinking, oh, he's just 73 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: a barbecue guy. I do get caught up as just 74 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: being a barbecue guy. And I find it very amusing 75 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: because people pre judging under estimate what you know because 76 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: of what they think they know about So it's it's 77 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: it's kind of amusing to me for them to see different. Uh. 78 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: For example, I walked in the restaurant one day and 79 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: he thought I was cutting in lines, like where does 80 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: this guy going? And then once they saw me go 81 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: like behind the counter and everybody started saying, hey Rodney, 82 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: it was a totally different look. So, you know, I 83 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: find I find a little bit of music and they 84 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: kind of understand that you're not just a guy shoving colds, 85 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: that you're trying to grow a business. You're trying to 86 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: grow a brand, um, you're you're trying to give people 87 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: opportunities to employment. They kind of see you a little different, 88 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: and uh, for me, that's been a great experience. Again, 89 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: I find a little amusing when they just think one 90 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: thing and find out so much more. Well, you know, 91 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: and watching that Netflix here, your father saw you a 92 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: little bit different because he you had ideas and he 93 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: didn't want to change and so it wasn't ntil his 94 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: illness that you was able to start implementing some of 95 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: your ideas, which has led to the great success that 96 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: you have now. Talk about that transition of being as 97 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: the person because that was his brain, that was his business. 98 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: But you can get stuck in your ways and saying 99 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: I've done this all the time works for me, Why 100 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: should that change? And it's I guess it's open your 101 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: eyes to being able to for new ideas and to 102 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: listen to other people as well. Correct, correct, you know, 103 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: all that's been uh an experience and a learning experience 104 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: to see how my dad behaved and how to carry myself. 105 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: Trying to show people what we're doing and how we're 106 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: doing it, and people get stuck in their ways. I 107 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: get that, you know, they feel like if it ain't broke, 108 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: don't fix it. But also I've learned that don't get 109 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: so stuck in your way that you can't hear other 110 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: ideas or hear other you know, possibilities of adjustmice to 111 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: what you do. So for me, it's it's been a 112 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: learning experience going through what I went through with my 113 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: father to learn how to carry myself better than I've 114 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: been carrying myself, or the way that he carried himself 115 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: with new ideas or creations. Well, you know, the thing 116 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: about it is that he gave you a start. And 117 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: that's that's the that's guess, that's the blessing of you know, 118 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: you're you're you're having a family that was in business. 119 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: Because we are African Americans, you know, we don't even 120 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: look at it as as anything that's passed down to us. 121 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: And this business was passed down to you. It was 122 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: something you learned, but early only in life. You know. 123 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: One of my favorite stories and netflix was when that 124 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: we graduate from high school and the girl said, are 125 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: you gonna do it? Just go down and cut ups falks? Yeah, 126 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: I guess what. That's what you did midnight. You went 127 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: down that cut up some But again, that's a stereotype, correct, Yeah, 128 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: that is that is a stereotype. You know, people underestimates. 129 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: She she didn't see me doing anything else but just that, 130 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: and uh, once she heard and saw so many different 131 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: things happening, it was she was amazed. And I don't 132 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: think she even remember saying that to me, because she 133 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: sent me some congratulations notes a couple of times, and 134 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, I wanted do you remember telling me that 135 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: that day?

That Rode his 513 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: white barbecue sauce was like, Hey, you planning to go 514 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: to Alabama, you need a white sauce. And I'm like, man, 515 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: you know we'll get to that bridge when we crossed, 516 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: you know, and all of a sudden we decided, you know, 517 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: can we make a twist on this sauce? And it's 518 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: like yeah, And and we decided to make a white 519 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: sauce with with the South Carolina touched to it. And 520 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: you know that sauce is great on chicken. And in 521 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: Alabama is where I learned that white sauce is right 522 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: on chicken. And the first thing I said was, we 523 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,479 Speaker 1: gotta have something for the person that loves white sauce. 524 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: And and and here it is, Man, and we put 525 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: it in the book Man, and then and then I closed. 526 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: I got to close as well. First, I want to 527 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: tell people it's a cookbook and it's a story, and 528 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: so I do. I've just been staying on the recipe 529 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: side of it. But it's also a great read about 530 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: your life, the important people in your life, the the 531 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: transitional moments that you had in your career. Why was 532 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: it important not to do a cookbook kind of like memoir. 533 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: It's kind of like that's what it really is, if 534 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: by different perspectives in your life that were very important 535 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: to who you are the day, instead of just doing 536 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: a basic cookbook. Rodney, Well, you know, um, when we 537 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 1: were writing this cookbook, Uh, my man lowless Eric Eli. 538 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: Hats off to this man. He he walked me through 539 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 1: the steps of helping me write this book, and uh, 540 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: we were just we're just going over everything. And I said, 541 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: you know what that recipe at that time had to 542 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: do with me being a child at this age. And 543 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: we started telling a story about each recipe and then 544 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: telling that. I was like, yeah, but that I remember 545 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 1: that day didn't go as great, and before you knew it, 546 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: we were talking about my complete childhood and and he 547 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: was like, wow, you know you're gonna tell this story? 548 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: And I said yes. And all of the things I've experienced, good, bad, ugly, 549 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,719 Speaker 1: I said, I think the world should know that, you know, 550 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: these are things that I've been through. Maybe somebody else 551 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 1: has been through the same thing, and hopefully they can 552 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: learn from this and feel better about their situations, to 553 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: move forward, carry on, to be optimistic about whatever ain'ts 554 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: you encounter. So I decided to tell my story and 555 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: and and I have absolutely no regrets in telling everything 556 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: that's in that book.
