Today's guest, Charlie Mitchell of the one-star Michelin restaurant Clover Hill in Brooklyn, New York, has a wisdom that is hard to come across in a chef barely into his 30s and someone who has gripped the food headlines as becoming the first black Michelin-starred chef in New York City's history and one of only two black chefs in America. Yeah, you heard read that correctly, the first. In 2022, the Michelin guide recognized the work that he and his partners were doing in Brooklyn Heights and saw that the work that he put in, the training, and his dedication to the craft of cooking helped leapfrog him over even some of the more established and well-known chefs in the country's most competitive restaurant city. Here's what else we talked about: Growing up in Detroit, Michigan, and hailing from a family of auto workers Finding a mentor who pointed him in the right direction and inspired him to leave Detroit and go to New York, even though it was his last choice of city Pushing himself to work in the hardest kitchen in NYC Why his first cookbook, Eleven Madison Park, motivated him to work there The layers of protection from failure that EMP has to ensure that each guest has the experience that they expect Why working as a commis at EMP was one of the biggest growth point in his career Going out on a ledge and taking over a smaller neighborhood restaurant in NYC, but then quickly learning he wasn't ready to be the man just yet Meeting his future partners at Clover Hill and why it's such a great match How they slowly transitioned to a tasting menu-only restaurant Creating a fine dining restaurant that was reflective of the owners and why it's so important for Clover Hill to make people feel comfortable and at home without the pretension that you may find often in fine dining Charlie talks about why honest cooking is so important to him Raising their prices because they are getting better ingredients to work with, not just because they now have a Michelin star When they started getting clued in that they may be on the Michelin radar The conversations he had with his partners after they won the star What it means to him to be the first black chef in New York City history to have a Michelin star What he learned once he started writing tasting menus and deciding what kind of journey he wanted to take the guests on How he sees the restaurant continuing to evolve over the next few years How he folks on "doing his part" when it comes to being a leader and showing other black chefs what's possible.

Most basketball fans know Ernie Grunfeld through his GM roles for the New York Knicks, Milwaukee Bucks, and Washington Wizards, his NBA playing career, or being half of the “Ernie and Bernie Show” with Bernard King as the two tore up the SEC. But what they might not understand about Grunfeld's backstory is that he is the person in major league sports history whose parents survived the Holocaust. Ernie's son Dan follows his father's story, his own college and pro basketball career, and the legacy of his grandmother, Anyu, from the ghetto of Budapest to the blacktop in New York City to Stanford University in his compelling book By the Grace of the Game. In this episode, Dan shares: · How his grandparents survived the Holocaust, escaped Communism, and emigrated to NYC · Why basketball provided his father with an outlet after losing his brother to leukemia · What Dan did to tackle a nervous tic and tame his anxiety · Why being a good person is even more important than chasing greatness · How his father and grandmother imparted life lessons about perseverance, hard work, and hope Keep up with Dan's writing on his website, dangrunfeld.com and on Twitter @Dan_Grunfeld.

Bold and gutsy are just two words that describe Jackie Botelho, a woman who is setting a new standard in the hospitality and event experience arenas. Jackie as never been afraid of stepping up and talking to people. She's never been afraid to reach a goal that others told her was unachievable. Jackie has always wanted to do more. And Jackie has always known that she could do more. ‘The sky's the limit' is something that she has always believed in. The result was the building of Above and Beyond VIP Concierge (ABCVIP), a hospitality and event agency. Covid changed the way that events were experienced and Jackie and her team were leading the way. Virtual gave her the opportunity to take off her heels and dig in. People who never would have attended in person events, were now experiencing them. Shy, introverted or just not wanting to be around others, Jackie gave them the opportunity to join. And let's not forget the national exposure. No politics, no pandemic speak, just plain fun. This week's conversation with Jackie: • A bold move to California • Striking gold in California & bringing it back to NYC • Why hospitality • A gutsy plan and the creation of ABCVIP • A deal with the Marriott • Pandemic timing • Pivoting on a dime • Experiencing Covid • Virtual, all those introverts and a national presence • The naysayers – ‘I'm not listening' • Expansion and more

Today’s guest had all the markers of traditional success, an Ivy League Education, letters after her name and a well paying career, but she realized she was miserable because she was not being authentic to herself. She broke out of the medical system to help people in a more holistic way. Join us! Dr. Zarya Rubin is a Harvard-educated physician and certified health and wellness coach who is passionate about helping people heal through functional medicine.

BUSINESS AND MARKETING PODCAST Rick Becker is a realtor with Keller Williams. He recently went through a big life change, moving from New York City to New Jersey, closing his business and starting a new career. Rick founded and ran a successful advertising photography studio for over 30 years  in New York City. You might have seen his work in catalogs like Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus and Waterford Crystal. With the changing world of photography he decided it was time to switch careers. Closing his business also meant finding a new home because he lived in his studio in downtown Soho. Over the years, Rick has bought and sold homes from Florida to New England, so real estate was a logical choice. He’s licensed in New Jersey and New York and in this conversation we talk about living in NJ vs. NYC and a few of the benefits of doing so. If you know someone looking to purchase a home in NJ or NYC and you need someone to help you through the process, connect with Rick.   In this episode, we talk about the transition and what he is doing to find success. BACKGROUND I wanted to share a little background, as I think it’s always good for you to know how I know the guests. Rick and I went to high school together but never really knew each other while we were in school. It was more we knew each others name, but not the person. We connected through a mutual friend a few years ago and we had a mutual desire to do triathlons. Those turned into 55+ mile bike events, half marathons and we just qualified for the NYC Marathon in 2018. I’ve spent a lot of time with he and his wife during the qualifying races and am forever grateful for their hospitality.   This recording started out by me showing him my new podcast equipment. It’s very relaxed, covers a lot of topics and isn’t as formal as most of my recordings. But I think you’ll find several good nuggets in the conversation. QUESTIONS WE ASK RICK What are you doing for marketing in your new business? How did you find the transition from NYC to NJ How did he get his radio voice? WHAT YOU’LL LEARN What it’s like starting a new career after 30 years in another business Benefits of living in NJ vs. NYC Why a lot of New Yorkers are moving out of the city and into NJ Transportation options for commuters RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO YOU Are you interested in learning more about Select Business Team?

I had a lot of questions for this Dominican urban artist from NYC: Why is it so hard for Latin rappers to make it in English? Do women really find trap offensive? And most importantly - why is trap music so concerned with making women come? For more U-LAB, visit ulabmusic.com and friend us on Facebook: U-LAB Music.
