Send us a textBuckle up, Ones Ready fam, because this episode is a gut-punch of raw truth and unrelenting grit. We're sitting down with Drew Outstanding (@drewoutstanding on X), a badass Army vet who went from slinging Applebee's two-for-20s to slaying in Iraq, only to get sucker-punched by the DOD's “safe and effective” COVID vaccine mandate. Spoiler alert: it wasn't safe, and it damn sure wasn't effective. One day after the jab, Drew was paralyzed, thrown into a medically induced coma, and diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. He spent six months as a human vegetable in the VA, drowning in his own saliva while bureaucrats played CYA. But this guy? He's not just surviving—he's thriving, hitting extreme sports, speaking truth to power, and making sure the world never forgets the COVID clown show. With Peaches and Jared dropping their signature sarcasm, this episode is a middle finger to the machine and a battle cry for resilience. Don't miss it, unless you're cool with Big Pharma running your life.Key Takeaways:The Mandate Mess: Drew's story exposes the DOD's vaccine mandate as a reckless gamble that left him paralyzed and fighting for his life. “Safe and effective”? More like “shut up and comply.”Grit Over Everything: From a coma to scuba diving and sit-down skiing, Drew's recovery is proof that sheer will can flip the bird to even the darkest odds.No Apologies, No Accountability: The system that pushed the jab still hasn't owned up. Drew's on a mission to make sure we never forget the lies and lives wrecked.Speak Your Truth: Facing hate mail and censorship, Drew's advice? Show up, tell your story,省市 and let the world know what's what.Timestamps:00:00 - Intro: Ones Ready kicks off with Peaches' classic energy.00:07 - Welcome Drew Outstanding, the man who beat the odds.03:53 - Drew's military journey: From Applebee's to Iraq's dumpster fire.11:49 - Black Hawk Down vibes and the reality of modern warfare.15:37 - Post-Iraq life: Fort Campbell, college, and National Guard.23:46 - COVID chaos: The bat-pangolin-turtle conspiracy and mandate madness.29:30 - Vaccine fallout: Paralysis, coma, and GuillainSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1Ready ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pro...

By using breadfruit—a tropical superfood—as its primary ingredient, Mutiny Island Vodka addresses two pressing global challenges: poverty and climate change.Todd, a chef turned entrepreneur, explained how breadfruit transforms lives in tropical regions. “One breadfruit tree will feed a family of four for life,” he noted, emphasizing its nutritional and economic potential. In regions plagued by food insecurity and poverty, breadfruit provides not only sustenance but also economic opportunities. Farmers can grow breadfruit to feed their families, sell it locally, or export products like breadfruit flour. Mutiny Island Vodka incentivizes the planting of these trees, creating a sustainable cycle of economic growth and environmental restoration.Breadfruit's environmental benefits are equally impressive. Todd highlighted, “Breadfruit trees sequester hundreds of tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and they're long living.” Unlike annual crops like wheat or corn that require replanting, breadfruit trees thrive for decades, continuously bearing fruit while pulling carbon dioxide from the air.Mutiny Island Vodka, the world's first vodka made from breadfruit, is more than just a spirit—it's a movement. The company's partnerships with organizations like the Trees That Feed Foundation amplify its impact. For every bottle sold or investment made, a breadfruit tree is planted in a region that needs it most. This initiative not only addresses food security but also serves as a scalable climate solution.Todd and his team are currently raising funds through a regulation crowdfunding campaign on Start Engine. This capital will help expand production and distribution, bringing Mutiny Island Vodka to more people and creating even greater impact. Todd shared his ambitious vision: “We are set on becoming a household name...better cocktails, better planet.”Todd's innovative approach and commitment to making a difference demonstrate how business can be a force for good. Mutiny Island Vodka isn't just a drink—it's a tangible example of how ingenuity and purpose can tackle global challenges. Those interested in supporting this mission can explore the opportunity to invest and join the effort to fight poverty and save the planet, one sip at a time.tl;dr:Mutiny Island Vodka uses breadfruit to fight poverty and climate change while producing award-winning spirits.Breadfruit trees provide food security, economic opportunities, and carbon sequestration in tropical regions.Mutiny Island Vodka is raising funds via regulation crowdfunding to expand production and impact.Todd's superpower, caring, drives his work and fosters a network of trust and collaboration.During the pandemic, Mutiny produced hand sanitizer for frontline workers, showcasing care and ingenuity.How to Develop Caring As a SuperpowerTodd's superpower is his genuine care for others. He explained, “I think my number one superpower is I care.” This deep empathy fuels his work and draws like-minded people into his orbit, fostering a network of trust and collaboration. Todd elaborated, “When you find someone else that has that same superpower, you tend to really latch on to them...having that is just incredible.”Illustrative Story:During the pandemic, Todd noticed that the Virgin Islands had no hand sanitizer for hospitals, police, or frontline workers. Leveraging Mutiny Island Vodka's resources, his team began producing sanitizer using breadfruit-derived alcohol. This act of care not only met the community's critical needs but also helped sustain the business during a challenging time.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Practice listening actively by using “two ears and one mouth” to understand others better.Reframe negative thoughts or words into positive, solution-oriented language.Cultivate empathy by considering what others might be experiencing.Surround yourself with like-minded, caring individuals to foster collaboration and trust.By following Todd's example and advice, you can make caring a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileChef Todd Manley (he/him):CEO, Mutiny Island VodkaAbout Mutiny Island Vodka: Our company was founded to produce the World's first, Island Vodka, hand crafted with breadfruit, Mutiny Island Vodka. The business has grown to encompass a production distillery, restaurant, tourist attraction, event venue, and of course Mutiny Island Vodka as a brand on its own.

He is a graduate and former graduate school student of Virginia Commonwealth University.Since making the USVI his home, he has opened 5 successful businesses in a short four years, continually reinvesting in Christiansted and the USVI effectively helping pull up the town by reinvigorating interest in Christiansted during an economically gloomy period of time. In 2015, the community honored him through the Chamber of Commerce awarding him "Business Man of the Year.” The same year he received the U.S. Congressional Award for contributions to community and betterment of society for his achievements and helping the community of St. Croix. His commitment to better the global community through his work with breadfruit and the breadfruit community resulted in being honored at the Global Breadfruit Summit in Hawaii in both 2018 and 2022 for contributions to the community and innovation. Mutiny Island Vodka also received an endorsement from a charity, Trees That Feed Foundation for using breadfruit as a substrate incentivizing the planting of breadfruit trees.When he has free time, he can be found with his wife from Dominica, playing guitar, scuba diving, or on a beach!

In this episode of the Matthews Mentality Podcast, host Kyle Matthews sits down with Julia Stewart, a legendary leader who has shaped some iconic restaurant brands, including Taco Bell, IHOP, and Applebee's. Julia shares her remarkable career journey, recounting her early days as a food server at IHOP to becoming the CEO and spearheading IHOP's $2.3 billion acquisition of Applebee's, creating the world's largest full-service restaurant company. She also discusses her pivot from the restaurant industry to launching
Pat Cobe, senior menu editor at Restaurant Business, and Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor for Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, together moderated a menu innovation panel at the Restaurant Leadership Conference last Monday in Phoenix. Participants included operators from Popeyes, Noodle's & Company, Potbelly, Applebee's and Velvet Taco, and we heard a lot about what's in the works and what's to come.At RLC, we also heard from Kevin Hochman, CEO of Chili's and our Restaurant Leader of the Year. He chatted about a lot of things on stage, including the Big QP Burger, Chili's quarter-pound burger that launched that day. It's a clear swipe at McDonald's, and as a special introductory deal, it comes with fries and a soft drink for $10.99.Then we shared an interview with Bob Johnston, CEO of The Melting Pot, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. When the restaurant chain started, there were only three fondues on the menu: beef, cheese and chocolate. Johnston, who began as a dishwasher at The Melting Pot, talked about how the menu has since expanded, with on-trend items like seafood and veggie fondues, a brie and fig variation, and steak fondue with mango-habanero sauce. There is also a full bar with craft cocktails and a varied wine selection, a far cry from Michelob—the only beer option back in the ‘70s. Listen as we hear how The Melting Pot has evolved but is still offering an interactive dining experience, which is exactly what many guests want these days when they visit a restaurant.
On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss Starbucks' new uniform policy, which calls for neutral-color clothing that lets the brand's signature green apron stand out. Employees aren't happy about the change, but could it be another smart step in the turnaround process kicked off by new CEO Brian Niccol? Then they discuss Red Robin's new Bottomless Burger Pass, a limited promotion that, for just $20, gives customers a burger every day for a month. The pass was so in demand that it crashed Red Robin's website, and Sam and Alicia talk about how this could be a smart marketing strategy. They also talk about Applebee's, which last year did its own pass — a Date Night Pass — that was equally as in demand but couldn't spur enough momentum for the chain to enjoy sales growth. Now Applebee's has lost CMO Joel Yashinsky, who left for the same position at Burger King U.S. and Canada. So what's next for Applebee's? Senior editor Joanna Fantozzi joins for this week's extra serving to talk about Technomic's Top 500, which illustrates some interesting trends among the biggest chains in the U.S. Finally, we share an interview between senior food and beverage editor Bret Thorn and Walk-On's senior director of culinary John Hagen.

Restaurant franchising has always been a game of margins, efficiency, and maximizing customer demand. But with rising real estate costs, shifting consumer expectations, and an increasingly competitive market, franchise operators face a critical challenge—how to drive profitability while delivering an exceptional dining experience. For decades, the industry has relied on single-brand locations, but a bold strategy is reshaping the landscape. The dual-branded franchise model is emerging as a game-changer, providing operators with a smarter way to scale, optimize resources, and attract a broader customer base. Dine Brands, the powerhouse behind Applebee's, IHOP, and Fuzzy's Taco Shop, is leading the charge with this innovative approach. By bringing two well-known restaurant brands under one roof, they are redefining operational efficiency and customer convenience while creating new opportunities for franchisees. Scott Gladstone, Chief Development Officer & President of International at Dine Brands, is at the helm of this expansion, guiding franchisees through the advantages and unique considerations of adopting this model. The concept of a dual-branded franchise is simple yet highly strategic. Instead of building two separate locations, franchisees can operate both Applebee's and IHOP within a shared space. Customers experience the best of both brands while back-of-house operations remain streamlined, maximizing labor efficiency, inventory management, and overall cost savings. The approach also allows for more flexibility in site selection, making it possible to enter markets where a standalone restaurant may not have been viable. For franchise owners, this model presents a compelling opportunity to diversify revenue streams without doubling overhead expenses. By aligning two brands with distinct peak dining times—IHOP's strong morning traffic and Applebee's thriving lunch and dinner business—franchisees can generate a steady flow of customers throughout the day. This strategic alignment addresses a common issue in the industry, where restaurants often struggle with downtime during off-peak hours. Instead of letting valuable square footage sit idle, operators can optimize their footprint and drive profitability across multiple dayparts. While the dual-branded franchise strategy offers significant financial advantages, it also comes with unique challenges that require thoughtful execution. Maintaining brand integrity within a shared space means ensuring a seamless customer experience, from signage and restaurant layout to menu offerings and service expectations. Each brand has its own identity, and successfully merging them under one roof requires careful design and operational planning. Gladstone and his team at Dine Brands have worked through these complexities, creating a system that balances efficiency with a clear distinction between the two dining experiences. The early success of dual-branded locations has sparked interest from both new and existing franchisees. Some operators are exploring conversions of their current restaurants to adopt the model, while others see it as an opportunity to enter new markets with a stronger competitive edge. Whether through new development or retrofitting existing locations, the flexibility of the dual-branded approach allows franchisees to make strategic investments tailored to their market conditions. As the restaurant industry evolves, the ability to adapt and capitalize on new growth strategies will separate thriving brands from those struggling to keep pace. The dual-branded franchise model is proving to be a forward-thinking approach that benefits both franchisees and consumers alike. By leveraging shared infrastructure, reducing operational costs, and offering guests greater variety, this strategy is paving the way for the future of franchising. For those exploring franchise opportunities or looking for ways to strengthen their current operations, understanding the dual-branded franchise strategy is essential. The shift toward multi-brand concepts is more than just a trend—it's a smart business move that aligns with the realities of today's market. As industry leaders continue to refine and expand this approach, it will undoubtedly play a significant role in shaping the next phase of restaurant growth.

I wrote this song 12 years ago. Found it this morning as I got the manic motivation to clean out old email, because that's my biggest problem today…Thank God. I was about to delete the highlighted messages when something caught my eye. You can do this: An audio file from my friend and Slam Circus singer Andy Patalan. The song was originally called “Always” and I wrote it for my second wife. When I played it for her She said, “whatever,” and went back to bed. Some time later, I got home from a month long business deployment and she met me in the kitchen. “Have you had enough coffee?” “I'm gettin' there.” “Well, I need to tell you I'm not happy.” So many emotions hit me that I didn't know how to respond. Or maybe I did. I had seen pictures of her partying in without her wedding ring and I was background processing how to handle it. You know, benefit of the doubt, and all the other bullshit we tell ourselves to avoid a hard truth. A million thoughts churned and quickly coalesced. “Ok, then go someplace you'll be happy.” “Where am I supposed to go?” “That's your problem now.” We had two Doberman Pinschers at the time, siblings. "Whatever you do, don't split them up. Take both or neither.” She split them up, took her favorite and left. Cruelty to animals is worse than cruelty to humans. It's unforgivable. During my month long business trip I had become friends with a waitress. Applebees was the only restaurant open at 21:00 after I closed the record store, and she was there every night when I came in, double shot of Jim Beam waiting for me on my customary table. I knew something was wrong at home and was already self-medicating, general anesthesia for a painful procedure I knew was coming. I called my waitress friend after the wife left… That's where this song came from. I changed the lyrics and decided I needed to sing it myself. My Slam Circus brothers fixed it up and Andy nailed the chorus like he always does. Mike Purcell, Mark McCoy, Andy Patalan. Brothers. So brother, if you're going through hell right now I need you to know it gets better. I'll see you on the other side. If you're still alive, You're halfway there.
