I didn't always have food to eat at my house.

So I spent a lot of time eating at other people's houses.

I think that I learned a lot of that from corporate America too, like running teams and managing.

If I'm not good at sales and marketing, I need to hire an expert.

If there's people out there that all they know how to do is cook, you should be the chef at that restaurant.

You should probably let somebody else do the P&Ls and the labor costs and all of that good stuff.

I learned everything about sales, marketing, how to just be a professional adult, be on time, be responsible.

I didn't get that as a kid.

If you would have met me when I was 17, you would probably look at me a whole lot different than you look at me today.

But I grew up a lot more.

early because I had to, but then corporate America really just taught me how to be more professional and just look at things differently than I would have otherwise.
