The Chef Kulture Podcast

Like the name suggests this episode is all about hustle.  As such we put together two separate segments to make one episode.  Then fished everything off with an elevated eats segment featuring a honey baked pear with candied bacon and melted goat cheese.  First we kick it with Hosea Walker LMT @Hollywood_jack33 who is a licensed massage therapist, semipro cook, & personal trainer.  He is effectively running three businesses and wants to scale.  But time is the key issue here.  Second we catch up with the big homie Chef Jesse Seward @Chefjessetmgc .  He has already accomplished more than most of his Chef peers, but he is still reaching for more.  His ambition is leading him into a new venture.  He is going to make the first ever Culinary mixtape.  Literally from the kitchen to the streets.  

This episode was actually 3  conversation all connected to the topic of should you just have one focus.  Please forgive me for an episode that doesn't smoothly flow and instead focus on the lessons within.  Our two guest are Rich from @2tonephotos and Lea “La Hefa” from @ liriodelosvalles.info .  Segment 1. Rich discusses how he became a real estate paparazzi and why you couldn't pay him to do wedding photography again.Segment 2.  Lea La Hefa comes hard with her “Don't be a lady, Be a legend” vibes.  She tells a crazy origin story of her as a young hustler and how she has grown into an amazing business women.   Her success comes from her ability to play multiple roles, but you have to hear her describe it.  Segment 3.  This is part 2 of my conversation with Rich and here we continue to talk real estate photography, but how drones, & 3D cameras are changing the game.  Plus how his other hustle as an IT Doctor is just the tip of the iceberg for his growing empire.   

First we Shoot our Shot withJaquiel Bullock @imakesoulmusic & @Imakesmartmoney singer,songwriter, & financial consultant.  He talks about serendipity and good energy.  Starting with how an essay he wrote in highschool led to Barak Obama sending him to china for a year.   To how a random karaoke experience leads him to his own Tedx talk.   Then to how speaking engagements led him to ditching his 9-5 to follow his dreams of using financial tools to help his community.   Yolande Clark-Jackson@Mrs.Jacksons_class & @winedownandwrite .  This dynamic soul went from teacher, to hosting literarary events that pair wine and writing, to coaching budding writers.  My lady, has built a business that help writers from A-Z.  Wether you are a  content creators, new authors that wanted to self publish, or brands that need to tell their narratives better.  Mrs. Jackson has got you covered.  Her message is simple, writing is for everyone.  Writing doesn't have to be so serious.   Writing can be therapeutic, or cathartic, or even launch a new career.  For business inquiries please email Yclarkjackson@gmail.com Episode produced byMicheal C.

This week on The Recipe:  Sam Lee @Sdragonxx who is a DJ, dancer, hair stylist, & actor.  Utilizes the "Lifestyle Design" concept to build and live his best life.  Jumping into the limelight early as a 14 year-old dancer for Warner Bros. in St. Louis, Sam's journey has been remarkable.  He doesn't just have one entrepreneurial path he has many.  Which sometimes makes things a little complicated.  But who said living life as a modern-day renaissance man would be easy.  We discuss ways to maximize his journey and grow his brand.  On the Interview: Chef Juvon @ChefJuvon who is a self-described Boujee Chef talks about his road to becoming a chef through Kidney Failure at a young age and going from asking " God why did you do this to me"?  to asking "God how can you use me through this"  ?  He shares how when he first became a chef he couldn't even get clients to take a free meal from him.  After balancing work and entrepreneurship for some time, he decided to go all-in on himself because at work whenever he would be himself the bosses would tell him to tone it down.  This proved to be a turning point in his life where he explains why he is always his 100% authentic self, even when others may not like it.  And how his naturally flamboyant personality has gained him 12k + Instagram followers.   Our conversation goes on to discuss him lighting guest plates on fire even to him blessing us with a song live.    On Elevated Eats:  Chef Juvon didn't do his famous flambe, he said you have to book him for that.  Instead, he did his signature Jerk Shrimp with Lobsterbisque grits and showed us in real time why he doesn't sell food.  He sells experiences.
