Episode RR 439 Charlie Ayers is the President of Coordinating Committee For Automotive Repair (CCAR). CCAR does safety training. Established in 1994, the Coordinating Committee for Automotive Repair is a not-for-profit organization that works – internationally in scope – with the automotive industry, the insurance industry, OEM’s, career and technical schools, collision and automotive repair shops, governments, municipalities and other organizations to provide best practice information and training as they relate to Environmental, Safety, and Hazardous Material handling issues. Before joining CCAR as President, Charlie first became involved with the organization as a customer. As Midas International’s Manager of Governmental Affairs, he recognized the benefits of using online training for all of the organization’s company store staff. Charlie was also a member of CCAR’s Board of Directors, first as Secretary, then as Vice Chair and finally as Chairman. He began his career in the early ‘80s as a technician for Gould Battery and has been certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) since the early ‘90s. In his 30-year career, he has led teams in a variety of areas, including customer service, fraud investigations and franchisee business support. He is the Chairman Emeritus of the Motorist Assurance Program (MAP), a former arbitrator with the Chicago Better Business Bureau, and has recently provided his expertise as an ASE test question writer. Charlie has a B.S. and an M.B.A. from Northern Illinois University. He and his wife, Diane, are the proud parents of four grown children.   Key Talking Points: CCAR- Coordinating Committee for Automotive Repair (ccar-greenlink.org) A non-profit organization focused on providing best practice information for the automotive industry (safety and hazmat) Charlie used CCAR training while working at MIDAS- incidents/injuries went down, insurance rates went down.

The myth of Silicon Valley is that anyone can land at a tech startup early and strike it rich. But let’s face it: this almost never happens. This episode, as a spate of tech companies prepare to go public, we bring you a conversation with Google’s first chef. Charlie Ayers won a cook-off to become employee #53 at the company. He reflects on how the Google effect shaped his next career move, and what it all means for him now, more than a decade after his departure.

Niche Radio — Charlie Ayers is best known as, “the chef who fed Google”, a title and job he won in a in a 1999 cook-off. He was judged by the company’s then 40 employees. It was a last minute entry and in this podcast he explains how he attained the X Factor. Charlie also had the privilege of feeding Steve Jobs breakfast every morning in the years preceding his death. He shares this experience with us and the nuggets he learned along the way, including a why a free food model in corporate is possibly a great solution for our rising obesity crisis in SA. I interviewed Charlie at the BCX Disrupt Summit where he was one of the speakers. This was his bio according to the summit website: By the time Charlie Ayers left Google in 2005, his team of five chefs and 150 employees were serving 4,000 lunches and dinners a day at the company's headquarters in Mountain View, CA. Ayers was the guy who started serving free, gourmet meals to Googlers and after six years with Google, he did the same for other tech companies. He was hired by places like Facebook and Youtube to do similar programs. At the same time, Charlie opened Calafia Café & Market-A-Go in Palo Alto, CA. His concept epitomizes the idea that "being green" is good for the producer, consumer, environment and local community. A former private chef and (still) personal chef to the Grateful Dead, Charlie continues to consult for startup companies, cater private events and coordinate food service and backstage catering teams at open air music festivals. Charlie has published a cookbook, Food 2.0: Secrets from the Chef that Fed Google, that exemplifies his culinary vision. In May, 2014 Charlie received an honorary doctorate degree from his alma mater, Johnson & Wales University for his contributions to the culinary arts. He brings this same pioneering spirit to his work with the Chowbotics team, ensuring that Chowbotics robots produce delicious food that is good for the people they serve and the world around them.

Ep. 151 - This week's guest is Chef Charlie Ayers, who was not only the original chef at Google but was also one of the Grateful Dead's personal chefs from 1990 to 1995. He sat down with Zach on the Monday after the Grateful Dead's 50th Anniversary Fare Thee Well shows in Santa Clara (which Zach went to in search of fatty egg rolls.)  They talked about the shows, the he time spent cooking for the Grateful Dead, and how that prepared him for Google.  He also told us about the time he caught Bono raiding his fridge, shared Jerry's favorite hot dog condiment, and confirmed that fatty egg rolls were a thing on tour and not a figment of Zach's imagination.
