MSU Today with Russ White
Family and Food: A lifetime of family meals together eventually led Eli Sussman, '07, back to his first love of cooking

MSU Today with Russ White

Eli Sussman grew up in the Detroit suburb of Huntington Woods. After graduating from Berkley High School, MSU's James Madison College felt like a natural next step.  “One of the great things about James Madison is that the classes are small, and the conversation is lively,” says Sussman. “I thrived in that atmosphere.”  Perhaps that's because lively conversation has always been part of his life. Family was important in the Sussman house, and eating dinner together was a central component in the lives of his large circle.   Sussman says it was a long journey from an interest in politics to an interest in food. He always had cooking jobs to make money and worked at Lou and Harry's in East Lansing as a line cook. “I loved it,” he says. “It was so fun because there was great comradery. It was a hard job, but it spoke to me. The fire was lit at Lou and Harry's.”  After graduation and a study abroad experience at a music management and public relations firm in London, Sussman put this burgeoning interest in cooking aside and moved to Los Angeles to work in the music industry for five years.   “I was enjoying cooking on the weekends more than I was enjoying the weekdays at my desk,” he says. “At the time, the music business was transitioning away from CDs to digital downloads, and my brother, who was a chef in New York City, said to me ‘just come here and try it. You can always return to the music industry if you decide you don't like cooking.'  “I started back at the beginning and became a prep line cook. I knew instantaneously that I had made the right decision and that I would never return to the music industry.”  Sussman's latest project is a neighborhood bistro in Prospect Heights Brooklyn called Gertrude's that features Jewish and French influences. Eli's 7-layer kosher chocolate cake, inspired by the Jewish bakeries around Metro Detroit that he loved growing up, took on “a life of its own.” It was selected as one of The New York Times Top 8 Dishes of 2023 by food critic Pete Wells. “It's a nice way to tie my Michigan roots to a New York restaurant.”  In addition to going viral with his chocolate cake, Sussman now hosts the popular “Talkinin the WalkIn,” a video series in which Sussman interviews chefs in a restaurant's walk-in fridge.  “The optimal place in the restaurant where people go to hide or get away is the walk-in,” he says. “This is where the meat and potatoes of your thinking happens. The setting tends to lead to compelling conversations.”  Sussman encourages today's students to “be open to the idea that maybe the first thing you've chosen doesn't have to be the be-all end-all. You have many opportunities to reinvent yourself and start over. Focus on what excites you now. And if you don't know what that is yet, that's OK.”   Soon,Sussman will have a presence in Michigan in the form of Italian-American cuisine. Alo's, a joint venture with his brother, is slated for 2025 opening in Ann Arbor.    “Even though I haven't lived in Michigan since I was 18, I am a major advocate for Michigan; it's a huge part of my identity,” he says. “People sleep on how wonderful Michigan is as a produce state—we have incredible farms. My brother and I are really excited about using our restaurant to showcase that Michigan produce is the best in America.”   Conversation Highlights: (0:43) – Eli on growing up in suburban Detroit and why he chose MSU for college. (2:31) – Describe your journey from politics to the music industry to the culinary world. And how did your study abroad experience play into the process? (9:01) – How and when do you dive into the food world in New York City? (13:03) – How did your MSU and James Madison College experience impact you? (18:39) – How would you describe the fare you enjoy cooking for people to enjoy at Gertrude's? (21:18) – What is Talkin in the Walkin, and how did it come about? Why is cooking like being in college? (25:35) – Why do you enjoy “punching up” at the Michelin culture that exists in parts of the hospitality industry? (28:07) – What's your advice for students today regardless of what they want to do? What two major mistakes do you feel you made? (30:48) – What motivates you and gets you up and going every day? (32:44) – Tell us about your plans to open a restaurant in Ann Arbor. Listen to “MSU Today with Russ White” on the radio and through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your shows.

A.J. Jacobs is an author, journalist, lecturer and human guinea pig. He has written four New York Times bestsellers that combine memoir, science, humor and a dash of self-help. His latest book is called The Puzzler. His first book is called The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World (Simon & Schuster, 2004). The memoir spent two months on the New York Times bestseller list. After trying to improve his mind, he turned to his spirit. The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible (2007) tells of his attempt to follow the hundreds of rules in the Good Book. It spent three months on the NYT bestseller list, and was praised by Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, The New York Times Book Review, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today and others. It appeared on the cover of the evangelical magazine Relevant, but was also featured in Penthouse. (Jacobs is proud to be a uniter, not a divider). In 2012, Jacobs completed his mind-spirit-body self-improvement trinity with Drop Dead Healthy: One Man's Humble Quest for Bodily Perfection. It is the tale of his quest to be as healthy as humanly possible for which he revamped his diet, exercise regimen, sleep schedule, sex life, posture and more. He wrote the book on a treadmill desk (It took him about 1,200 miles). He also published a collection of essays called My Life as an Experiment: One Man's Humble Quest to Improve Himself (2010).

The book has been praised by Kirkus (“delightful”), Booklist (“a real treat”) and Publisher's Weekly (“entertaining and lively.”) In addition to his books, Jacobs written for The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, New York magazine and Dental Economics magazine, one of the top five magazines about the financial side of tooth care.

Today we are in the most indiscriminate crash in the history of our lives. If you have the will to make money and be ethically through it, you can make money. I am talking about financial empowerment and the steps you need to take so you can take advantage of this indiscriminate market. You need to grab a pen and paper for this episode. I share many practical ideas so you can leave with a plan.  Today I am sharing a webinar with Raymond Aaron. Raymond is a New York Times Top 10 best selling author. He has been on stage for 37 years helping people write books, increase their credibility and branding, and understand the spiritual universe.  In this episode, I am talking about financial empowerment and taking action. How do you act, make money, and think the way the wealthy do? I answer this question and talk about practical steps for becoming a millionaire in 3-5 years. I talk about bitcoin, cannabis, hemp, digital currency, and so much more.  Show Notes: [00:41] Raymond Aaron is a New York Times Top 10 best selling author.  [02:54] Loral has been a multi-millionaire for 20 years and standing.     [04:35] She is talking about ways to make money in three days.   [06:21] Loral was filmed for the movie The Secret and got into the final edit. She is a millionaire maker.   [08:29] Loral has 52 books and five hit the New York Times.   [10:11] Instead of focusing on what you can’t have in the struggles, you focus on what you can have.   [12:54] Loral grew up on a farm in Nebraska. At 17, she received the book Think and Grow Rich and it changed her trajectory.   [14:19] In 1996 she really started studying money. She got a finance degree. She realized that working a traditional job was not for her.  [15:45] You can totally become a millionaire. You just have to do the steps in the right sequence.  [18:09] Some of the things we have been taught and the way we think about money is completely wrong. [20:02] This is your opportunity to change from being an employee to being an entrepreneur. [22:03] Today we are in the most indiscriminate crash in the history of our lives. If you have the will to make money and be ethically through it, you can make money. [23:32] Who am I? Who am I going to be on the other side of this? I have the trajectory to change my entire life.   [25:52] Digital currency is here and you are going to have to engage in it.  [27:27] Big asset classes right now are digital currency, the stock market, businesses, real estate, hemp, and cannabis.  [29:27] First, you are going to keep making money. Get as lean as you can with your personal accounts and assets.   [31:56] Pivot to new cash and get as much as you can.  [34:18] We are taught to go to school and get a job. We put a portion to a retirement structure, where we get taxed to pieces and live off the crumbs.  [36:26] Be an entrepreneur and be the boss! [37:29] You are going to take on good debt to become a millionaire.    [39:21] You have to have decision making, sequencing, and some common sense. Not difficult, but it has to be in the right order.  [41:29] You find places in your community that you can’t imagine living without and you invest in them.   [43:29] Companies make money. Individuals get taxed. [45:20] Colleges are teaching us to be employees. With a CEO mindset, you can look for teammates. [47:41] As an employee, it is a fixed income. As an entrepreneur, you can have an unlimited income.   [49:06] There are so many direct sales businesses all over the world that you can do.  [50:45] Real estate deals are everywhere.   [52:31] Many people make decisions based on their bank balance versus the projected money you can make.     [54:52] All of you have the ability to make money, you just haven’t been taught. You haven’t been taught to ask for money. You man is not your plan for financial freedom.   [56:02] Your own business and database are one of the greatest assets you will ever own.  [59:09] Challenge where you put boundaries around yourself. [60:13] Loral wants us to get to the place where making money and keeping money is just what we do. [62:11] You are going to find your tribe in Loral’s tribe especially as they get to know you and find out what you need and don’t want.  [62:47] Everyone should write a book.  It is your brain on paper and makes you credible. You want your book to be the top of your funnel.    [64:17] She brings a ton of people to the Marketplace because they have to teach you how to make money. It starts with a new business model.   [67:16] Loral loves the residual income that comes from direct sales.   [68:02] Yes energy is when you say yes and you have no idea what to do because then you figure it out. Then it is time to get creative and find resources.   [69:24] We don’t focus on making six figures. We focus on making $500 a day.   [71:14] Business and money are in your life every day. Why are you doing it alone? [73:09] It is not self-driven, it is customer-driven. You don’t control but instead, provide leadership.  [74:36] Making money and investing money is where most people go wrong. Instead of making it and spending it, you should make it and invest it.   [76:32] When you say yes, you start getting creative about who is going to help you. You need to lead more and do less.   Links and Resources: Ask Loral App Loral on Facebook Loral on YouTube Loral on LinkedIn Money Rules Millionaire Maker Store Raymond Aaron Think and Grow Rich
