2:37
Speaker 1: old and you're handling the stove. Yes, I used always
2:41
Speaker 1: just going to kitchen and just look at my pops
2:43
Speaker 1: like this while he was making everything, And I'm like,
2:45
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in there and make something that I
2:46

Speaker 1: me and push it down with your hand, like so,
3:24
Speaker 1: can you describe this ALLOMMI I was supposed to get,
3:27
Speaker 1: apposed to one? I got? Okay, the salammie that you
3:29
Speaker 1: were supposed to get, it's actually about six inches circular
3:32
Speaker 1: like this, with a gang of big black peppercorns in
3:34
Speaker 1: there and a little bit of fat in there, tooth.
3:38
Speaker 1: And then these are how would you describe these in comparisons?
3:43
Speaker 1: These are your dainty uh zinish pieces of salaman. That's
3:50
Speaker 1: what you put on crackers. Hunt, I'd agree, but you
3:52
Speaker 1: saysling pretty good over here, so you probably got a
3:54
Speaker 1: little action. I feel like if I was trapped on
3:57
Speaker 1: a desert island, I would eat very well with you,
4:00
Speaker 1: because you were making it work, even though I totally
4:03
Speaker 1: didn't get to the ingredients you I was supposed to get. Now,
4:06
Speaker 1: I was trying to add your egg in there real quick.
4:09
Speaker 1: You're gonna cook the salami with you, tell me, that's
4:11
Speaker 1: why it's called a scalless. So now you're gonna put
4:16
Speaker 1: your salami to the side, don't you gonna have him together,
4:19
Speaker 1: team work. So he's cooking the salami in butter. Uh,
4:24
Speaker 1: a little bit of butter, and you keep the salami
4:27
Speaker 1: in there so it could get something a little bit
4:28
Speaker 1: of the fat from the salami and the skillet as
4:31
Speaker 1: well with the butter flavor for the egg. Don't have
4:33
Speaker 1: to use too many seasons. Everything you're scalless. O scalless. Okay, there,
4:40
Speaker 1: everything scannless. I'm with it. Everything scalless, everything scalless. All right,
4:45
Speaker 1: So this dish is originating from your finding random ingredients
4:49
Speaker 1: in your kitchen without trying to burn down the house.
4:52
Speaker 1: And that's all we got. Nice And your dad was
4:55
Speaker 1: the chef at home, not your mom. Yeah, the primary
4:59
Speaker 1: chef my mom. We'll see this, but I'm not tripping.
5:04
Speaker 1: She only was making spaghetti and hamburgers at first until
5:08
Speaker 1: my pops came around, and then he actually elevated her
5:10
Speaker 1: whole millinery palette. Okay. So, and was your pops like
5:14
Speaker 1: a chef in real life or that was only a
5:19
Speaker 1: chef in the one of the state penitentiaries used the
5:23
Speaker 1: top chef in there though. Oh is that what he
5:26
Speaker 1: Oh that's where he was a chef side like that boom,
5:32
Speaker 1: Yoka like that. Everybody don't like a fat yo, so
5:34
Speaker 1: you got to kind of bust it down in there.
5:35
Speaker 1: So the mixing boom, how did you get that there?
5:40
Speaker 1: She like, what is he doing for to get it together? Rightly? Lightly?
5:43
Speaker 1: The studio smells great? Okay, cool. So your pops is
5:47
Speaker 1: a chef in Madsted. So he was a chef in
5:51
Speaker 1: the prison for down cor and you said, in the penitentiary, yes,
5:58
Speaker 1: ma'am okay, and then he come home cook for you guys.
6:01
Speaker 1: In addition to cooking at no while he was spending
6:06
Speaker 1: his time in there, he became one of the chefs
6:08
Speaker 1: in the penitentiary. He was spending time in the correct
6:11
Speaker 1: oh twists. Yeah. So then he gets out and then
6:16
Speaker 1: he takes his culinary skill set to you guys. More.
6:20
Speaker 1: We think that my dad already knew how to cook
6:22
Speaker 1: and whip up, so he just went in there and
6:25
Speaker 1: um made his surroundings adapt to him where it's more comfortable.
6:32
Speaker 1: So it's like instead of just sitting in the cell
6:34
Speaker 1: all day long, it's like, okay, let him know, I
6:36
Speaker 1: know how to cook. So now you're cooking for all
6:38
Speaker 1: the wardens and sheriffs and the police. In there, and
6:40
Speaker 1: you don't even have to go cook for all the inmates. Wow, sine,
6:43
Speaker 1: So it was actually kind of a perk. So he
6:45
Speaker 1: didn't cook for the inmate. Correct did not. And while
6:49
Speaker 1: all this is going on, you're at home cooking or
6:53
Speaker 1: you're are you starting to dab inge cooking yet until
6:57
Speaker 1: you Yeah, the first dish I ever made, being honest,
7:00
Speaker 1: we're deviled eggs. That's my favorite. Why do we have
7:04
Speaker 1: deviled eggs day? I didn't know that I love deviled
7:08
Speaker 1: eggs because that was my first dish ever even thought
7:12
Speaker 1: to even put on the stove. So now we're coming
7:15
Speaker 1: to davil, little mustard on the first toasted one. Okay,
7:21
Speaker 1: looking good over there. Okay, okay, we move you to
7:23
Speaker 1: the side. Remember everything, Scar, It looks like it doesn't
7:27
Speaker 1: take that long to make this, don't. That's why I
7:29
Speaker 1: was in and out before my mom was smelling anything
7:31
Speaker 1: in the kitchen. Okay, fel So, I'm not trying to detour,
7:37
Speaker 1: but I heard that your first entrepreneur startup was you
7:40
Speaker 1: were making You were selling case of dias in your
7:42
Speaker 1: mom's front yard. Boss, Okay, the first entrepreneurial endeavor was
7:49
Speaker 1: selling candy at school from the sixth grade to high school. However,
7:54
Speaker 1: I didn't get paid for that. I was actually told
7:57
Speaker 1: that I was going to get a car, actually two cars.
8:00
Speaker 1: It was a great buddy of mine and he promised
8:02
Speaker 1: me those two cars. And I'm still waiting for him
8:05
Speaker 1: till today. So it's it's it was a learning experience,
8:10
Speaker 1: I'll say, because I learned how to be an excellent entrepreneur.
8:14
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for the egg to touch the first part
8:15
Speaker 1: of the toast, okay, and then put these back and
8:20
Speaker 1: here just for a second to warm them up. You're
8:22
Speaker 1: getting a little bit softer. And um, after I got
8:27
Speaker 1: out of high school, I still didn't have my car.
8:30
Speaker 1: So then I so, you're selling candy this whole time,
8:34
Speaker 1: waiting for the homie, and you're giving him the money
8:37
Speaker 1: every single day, and he promises you a car. How
8:40
Speaker 1: much candy were you selling every day? For sure? For
8:43
Speaker 1: sure at very minimal a hundred dollars of candy a day, Like, yeah,
8:50
Speaker 1: I was getting reported in you feel me? And then
8:55
Speaker 1: after I report that in, it's like, I'm gonna give
8:58
Speaker 1: me this car. That's the only thing I'm thinking. I'm
9:00
Speaker 1: gonna get a car. I'm gonna get a car. Yeah,
9:03
Speaker 1: car still never came. I mean, you gotta share these tacks. Man. Oh,
9:09
Speaker 1: this right here, this is how we could have milk
9:10
Speaker 1: that cheese real fast. So that's fine. He just took
9:15
Speaker 1: some water for everyone listening, and he put a little
9:18
Speaker 1: dab of water in the pan while it was hot,
9:20
Speaker 1: and he put the cheese on top of the salami.
9:22
Speaker 1: He put a plate to kind of I guess keep
9:24
Speaker 1: the steam inside. Correct. I wish y'all could see what
9:29
Speaker 1: I'm seeing, but I'm trying to describe it for y'all
9:32
Speaker 1: because everything scalless, everything scanless, and the cheese melting totally works. Okay.
9:38
Speaker 1: It's your steam bouncing off the plate into the skillet
9:40
Speaker 1: and also the heat and as it goes up and down,
9:42
Speaker 1: it's gonna melt your cheese. Simple and it doesn't take over.
9:47
Speaker 1: That was about twenty seconds. So you don't bring your
9:49
Speaker 1: hand or anything. Yeah, we're ready. So how do you
9:54
Speaker 1: go from selling candy? I understand you didn't get the
9:56
Speaker 1: car to to to becoming chef? Oh show all flavor,
10:01
Speaker 1: no Greece, like you gotta make two two of these?
10:06
Speaker 1: You know that? Right? Is everything scaled? Okay? Um? So
10:14
Speaker 1: boom candy game stop when I was actually went on
10:19
Speaker 1: hiatus when I was in about the twelfth grade. After
10:21
Speaker 1: twelfth grade, got out of school, I liked weed. We
10:25
Speaker 1: were so intriguing to me. I started to sell weed.
10:28
Speaker 1: So came the street pharmacists for a few years. So
10:31
Speaker 1: we was intriguing because you liked how it's sold or
10:34
Speaker 1: you liked how it felt. Both. Okay, so it's like
10:38
Speaker 1: get your sack, get your money back, and then you're
10:40
Speaker 1: getting high for free base. But I got tired of
10:43
Speaker 1: that because I didn't see like, you know, four or
10:45
Speaker 1: one K and that after a while, so I'm like,
10:48
Speaker 1: I have to do something that it's gonna give me
10:50
Speaker 1: some money that time. And you know about four one K? Yeah,
10:56
Speaker 1: I know about a retirement plan. Okay, I'm like, I
10:59
Speaker 1: know I'm one of these. You need to cook way
11:02
Speaker 1: more than this. You sure you know you don't even
11:04
Speaker 1: know if you're gonna like I can I can look
11:06
Speaker 1: at it. Let me tell you something. I can look

Speaker 1: scanless everything. It looks so scanless. Okay, I gotta stand
11:32
Speaker 1: up because this is so good. And you only cook
11:35
Speaker 1: one sandwich. I don't know why he saw two places
11:37
Speaker 1: and only cook one sandwich. All I think he thinks
11:40
Speaker 1: Bronna diet on this show. But I'm gonna make him
11:42
Speaker 1: cook throughout the rest of this interview. While I eat,
11:47
Speaker 1: I said I was starving. Okay, here we go. Everything scles, yeah,
11:51
Speaker 1: here we go, Thank you very much. All right, I
11:55
Speaker 1: gotta try this. So you're starving? Mm hmm, oh my god,
12:05
Speaker 1: don't lie. Tell it true. I ain't gonna lie. This
12:10
Speaker 1: is bomb. It's amazing and I don't really even mess
12:16
Speaker 1: with white bread. But I get why do you chose
12:17
Speaker 1: white bread? Would you like to DJ Kellen have me
12:21
Speaker 1: make another one? Can you make the rest of these?
12:27
Speaker 1: You know what? I'm just gonna describe why it's all
12:29
Speaker 1: great real quick. It's the salami is like a salty,
12:35
Speaker 1: you know, very salty, and with the egg and the
12:37
Speaker 1: bread being soft, it's and then the cheese melts. It's
12:43
Speaker 1: simply amazing. I would I would buy this for breakfast.
12:45
Speaker 1: I would I would pay like five six books for
12:47
Speaker 1: this the whole combination of flavor. It's like all flavor.
12:53
Speaker 1: It's really delicious. And for all your listeners when you
12:58
Speaker 1: listen to the podcast in the morning, I suggest you
13:00
Speaker 1: make this scandless sandwich. Yeah, that's what I like to hear,
13:03
Speaker 1: everything scanless. That and its meal isn't expensive at all.
13:09
Speaker 1: So how do you transition from a street pharmacists to
13:17
Speaker 1: all flavor and no grace? God expelled? Actually, actually, um,
13:31
Speaker 1: I prayed about it because I'm like, keep it real,
13:35
Speaker 1: I'm tired of this ship. I'm only selling weed to
13:39
Speaker 1: get high, and that was starting to get irritating to
13:43
Speaker 1: me because you're just selling it to get high where
13:46
Speaker 1: you weren't making a profit barely. See, I think I
13:49
Speaker 1: think that's so true. I don't think pharmacists on the
13:52
Speaker 1: street really make that much for going for wheat. For oh,
13:56
Speaker 1: for other drugs. I didn't say that, but for wheat.
13:59
Speaker 1: Don't you fail me unless you're dumping enormous amount, like
14:06
Speaker 1: on a very very very very very consistent basis. And
14:11
Speaker 1: once I see that I wasn't gonna transition into that,
14:15
Speaker 1: I said, okay, God, I need something better to do
14:18
Speaker 1: straight up, So small still voice came to me and said,
14:22
Speaker 1: do what you learned how to doing school? So I
14:24
Speaker 1: laughed because I was fat, stanky, wearing hand me down
14:29
Speaker 1: clothes and ship. I didn't really even like going to
14:31
Speaker 1: school like that. The only reason why I like going
14:33
Speaker 1: to school was for for a band, because I'm a
14:36
Speaker 1: musician as well, and like I said, to make homies,
14:39
Speaker 1: make friends and ship. So I was a very loquacious
14:42
Speaker 1: and people person, so it wasn't hard to spark conversation
14:44
Speaker 1: to be cool with somebody, but it was only gonna
14:46
Speaker 1: last so long because it's like he's standing this closely
14:49
Speaker 1: cool as ship, but he staked. So after I got
14:53
Speaker 1: out of high school, because I did, I was musty,
14:57
Speaker 1: I was much bigger. It's like you gotta heavy. God,
15:01
Speaker 1: they've got could hold a lot of sweat, you feel me,
15:04
Speaker 1: especially if you're trying to keep yourself up and then
15:06
Speaker 1: you just you can't. So anyways, after hold on trying
15:14
Speaker 1: not to burn up the real quick, I'm not even
15:15
Speaker 1: gonna SENDMI interrupt you while you put this deliciousness. Just
15:19
Speaker 1: scand this deliciousness. Okay, So after after I got out
15:25
Speaker 1: of high school and I started over on A hundred
15:28
Speaker 1: and eight, which is the hood, my neighborhood where I
15:31
Speaker 1: was born and raised, that I still didn't care about
15:35
Speaker 1: my parents that much. So then I used to just
15:39
Speaker 1: come outside, sweat T shirt and on I'm sell awe now.
15:43
Speaker 1: But like I said, I got tired of that. Then
15:45
Speaker 1: after I prayed about that, I'm my Lord, help me.
15:47
Speaker 1: I need something better to do. He said, do what
15:49
Speaker 1: you know how to do in school. I'm like, I
15:50
Speaker 1: don't think I learned how to do in school with
15:51
Speaker 1: sell candy and make friends to open up a candy house.
15:54
Speaker 1: So I'm like, right, So I asked my mom real quick,
15:58
Speaker 1: and I opened up a candy house. She knew what
16:01
Speaker 1: I was doing, so she just didn't want me to
16:04
Speaker 1: do that anymore. So she's like, I don't care. So
16:06
Speaker 1: within the first three months, the candy house got the
16:10
Speaker 1: cracking you feel me. So after the candy house get cracking,
16:14
Speaker 1: she like, uh, go get the sellers permit. She's like,
16:16
Speaker 1: if you don't get a sellers permit, I'm gonna shut

Speaker 1: I got the candy house going, got chili dogs, nachos,
16:51
Speaker 1: pickles were cool aid like I said, just I got

Speaker 1: didn't just like this. I said, I'm gonna blow this up.
17:47
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't. Took a fifty dollar double up
17:50
Speaker 1: with some some some work before and then it took
17:52
Speaker 1: forever to try to make this money. And I said,
17:54
Speaker 1: I just did this in two hours with some ground beef,
17:57
Speaker 1: ground turkey, and some shredded chicken bread tacos. Try to
18:00
Speaker 1: get in the following week success, I made seventy three bucks.
18:05
Speaker 1: So now I'm thinking, I'm like, this's gonna be something.
18:07
Speaker 1: That's all. I thought, like, this's gonna be something what
18:09
Speaker 1: I don't know? See everything scamer, she I gotta rub
18:12
Speaker 1: it together. Yeah, everything scammer. So I love I love
18:18
Speaker 1: everything you're doing right now. So um after after where
18:24
Speaker 1: we are at the Candy has to Taco joke, after
18:27
Speaker 1: the tacos became a hit because everybody bit on it like,
18:32
Speaker 1: oh Sam Damn got tacos. Seven Han got tacos. So
18:36
Speaker 1: now that's cracking. So now I get inspired to make
18:39
Speaker 1: an Instagram page. Before that even come the name of flavor,
18:43
Speaker 1: no grease job came in a dream promised to God.
18:47
Speaker 1: Like I woke up like three in the morning and
18:48
Speaker 1: just said all flavor, no grease. And I asked my said,
18:52
Speaker 1: what is that so my mom? She would get irritated
18:55
Speaker 1: if you go wake her up out of her sleep.
18:58
Speaker 1: I jotted to the to the back room. And then
19:03
Speaker 1: as I walked to the back room, I woke my mom, like, Mama,
19:06
Speaker 1: all flavor, no Greece. First thing she said, not boy,
19:09
Speaker 1: get your ass out of here. None of that was.
19:11
Speaker 1: She said, that's catchy. I said, I'm on this something.
19:15
Speaker 1: So then I was inspired to make an Instagram page. Boom.
19:19
Speaker 1: I was only inspired to make three. I mean to
19:21
Speaker 1: promote three things, food, God, and positivity. I said, that's easy.
19:26
Speaker 1: Promote food, get a good camera, good angles, great dish God.
19:32
Speaker 1: I go to church every Sunday, put an inspirational text
19:35
Speaker 1: up with a nice little picture, said God, bless you.
19:37
Speaker 1: I mean, And then I said positivity, that's the challenge.
19:42
Speaker 1: How will you do that? Sam? I said, all right,
19:46
Speaker 1: I'm gonna reach out to all different walks of life, white, black, agent, doctors, lawyers, police.
19:52
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are and I don't want
19:55
Speaker 1: nothing from you, but for you to come and try
19:58
Speaker 1: to food and tell a friend and you feel me,
20:01
Speaker 1: just come back only if you like it. And my
20:05
Speaker 1: pitch was thanks for coming to off Flavor No Greece.
20:08
Speaker 1: We hope that you enjoy the food. If you enjoy
20:10
Speaker 1: the food, we asked that you leave a comment our post.
20:12
Speaker 1: It's worth more than a tip. Please tell the tag
20:14
Speaker 1: a friend and most importantly, please come back again. And
20:17
Speaker 1: you'll be surprised. Who has a big following that's coming
20:22
Speaker 1: to support you. You can pop up out the blue.
20:25
Speaker 1: You got like seven million followers, but she brought you
20:27
Speaker 1: through that only guy like two hundred. But she's like
20:30
Speaker 1: a girl. I want you to taste these tacos. You
20:33
Speaker 1: come over, you lose your mind. The best tacos. Now
20:36
Speaker 1: what you're doing? I just came to the East South
20:39
Speaker 1: East Fire Tactos. Now the following just starts to grow
20:42
Speaker 1: and grow and grow. So everything was really done organically,
20:46
Speaker 1: but the grind you just took time. So how old
20:55
Speaker 1: are you and this is all going on because it
20:57
Speaker 1: seems like you're extreme level of youngness. I started ten
21:03
Speaker 1: years ago, wow, ten years ago, and during your whole
21:09
Speaker 1: journey it sounds like one one ft led to another.
21:12
Speaker 1: But I'm sure there were points where it wasn't easy.
21:17
Speaker 1: Like when you're talking expansion, I would have guessed because
21:20
Speaker 1: your food typen. Now, you know right, It actually never
21:26
Speaker 1: ever ever suspected that it was going to even go
21:29
Speaker 1: this far. It was only wow, everything scounled you was
21:33
Speaker 1: to play, but it never was suspected to go this far.
21:36
Speaker 1: I always thought that the candy house and everything was
21:39
Speaker 1: just finish cleaning up. No one ever cleans on this show.
21:45
Speaker 1: But but I appreciate, but because I'm sorry, I just
21:48
Speaker 1: had to shout that afterwards. I just I looked at
21:50
Speaker 1: it as a small hustle. I just knew that I
21:52
Speaker 1: was tired of, like I said, set a way and stuff,
21:55
Speaker 1: and I knew that I wanted to do better. I
21:57
Speaker 1: knew I wanted more, and I said, it's not gonna
22:00
Speaker 1: think with me selling. So when I started to push
22:03
Speaker 1: the line with the full open doors that I never
22:06
Speaker 1: thought in life, interviews everything, and it made it even
22:10
Speaker 1: better once the following reached past ten thousand and then
22:17
Speaker 1: the interviews started coming from everywhere, The people start coming
22:21
Speaker 1: from everywhere, and it's just been a like a little
22:25
Speaker 1: engine that could going up the hill. Like he's catching
22:28
Speaker 1: a little momentum. He's trying. He's not really going backwards,
22:31
Speaker 1: but it's like he's struggling. But one thing the little
22:34
Speaker 1: engine never could, thank you Lord. One thing he never
22:36
Speaker 1: did was stopped. He never gave up, no matter how
22:40
Speaker 1: much gas, no matter how much, but he just kept
22:42
Speaker 1: going and ship. I did the same thing today, and
22:45
Speaker 1: there were no points where there was like, I feel
22:52
Speaker 1: like you're full of faith. But was there any point
22:54
Speaker 1: where you were like, oh, this is a very uncomfortable
22:57
Speaker 1: position or a type position you didn't know what to do? Hell,
23:00
Speaker 1: yeah I was. I was setting away with my boy Busy,
23:04
Speaker 1: the one who the manager on my food truck today.
23:07
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna show you how you respect the grind
23:11
Speaker 1: boom while I was getting money with him. At first,
23:13
Speaker 1: when I told him like all right, bro, I'm going
23:15
Speaker 1: to leave it alone, like I'm gonna really really really
23:18
Speaker 1: really really hanging up, he like, like you at the
23:21
Speaker 1: stop said the week like this, this is not like that,
23:23
Speaker 1: this is what we do. So I'm like, no, bro,
23:25
Speaker 1: I'm really serious. So once he's seen that I was
23:28
Speaker 1: really sincere bout what I was talking about, he would
23:31
Speaker 1: come over with his little couple leaning ship for me.
23:34
Speaker 1: He had come over send me to be get some
23:35
Speaker 1: of the tacos. So he was supporting. But anytime that
23:38
Speaker 1: I needed a little extra help, boo, let me hold
23:41
Speaker 1: fifty real quick so I can make sure I got
23:42
Speaker 1: enough meat for tomorrow here. Then I'll go back and
23:45
Speaker 1: tear it off right that same night soon as I
23:47
Speaker 1: make it back. So once he's seen, hey, thank you lord.
23:52
Speaker 1: Once he's seen that, all flavor was starting to catch
23:56
Speaker 1: a little traction, he was like, all right, he our kids.
24:01
Speaker 1: So he was like, he came to me, he said,
24:06
Speaker 1: I want to be down with you. I'm like, you bullshit.
24:09
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm for real. He's like, I see exactly
24:14
Speaker 1: what you did. He said, you stopped, you were serious,
24:18
Speaker 1: and you made it make sense. He was like the
24:21
Speaker 1: weed game a going, like they had no more for us,
24:23
Speaker 1: and you know that. I said, it's been stoff for me.
24:26
Speaker 1: So he like, give me a chance. Mind you, my
24:30
Speaker 1: boy a little slower and everything, but I gave him
24:32
Speaker 1: a chance, though, feel me. So people out of the game,
24:39
Speaker 1: all right, go on, go on? So now busy he
24:43
Speaker 1: came over to show his loyalty and came through and
24:47
Speaker 1: cut the shrimp up into nuggets. I'm talking about pounds
24:50
Speaker 1: of shrimp, not till not pounds. He had cut up
24:54
Speaker 1: a hundred pounds of shrimp with a pair of scissors
24:58
Speaker 1: into shrimp nuggets to show his loyalty. And once he
25:02
Speaker 1: did that, I'm like, all right, let me give you
25:05
Speaker 1: a chance doing this. Let me get your chance doing that.
25:07
Speaker 1: He stead He kept proving itself. So I'm like, all right,
25:09
Speaker 1: fuck it, you're down with me now. And then we
25:12
Speaker 1: just we're steady climbing up the ladder, like he got
25:15
Speaker 1: the truck running right now on downy and our teacher
25:17
Speaker 1: while I'm here that's my boy, and then here about
25:25
Speaker 1: to cry. No, I'm a laugh, so I won't because
25:27
Speaker 1: it's so serious. Girl. But he had tell me a
25:33
Speaker 1: lot like he likes, like, Sam, you saved my life
25:38
Speaker 1: full on everything. He like, you know what he was doing.
25:41
Speaker 1: He like, nigga, you helped me with my kids. You
25:44
Speaker 1: feel me in and he just you gotta say stuff
25:50
Speaker 1: to try to make tear from feeling in the water
25:53
Speaker 1: is wet, that it's mustard, and that we put on
25:57
Speaker 1: the sandwich. But bro, that's me know a lot, like
26:01
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. I appreciate you, and I call him
26:05
Speaker 1: out the blue like I love you can thank you,
26:09
Speaker 1: like like I appreciate you be cause you ain't gonna
26:11
Speaker 1: do the things you do, even the times when I'm
26:13
Speaker 1: not making the money. It's been plenty of times where
26:16
Speaker 1: he like, we gotta do what we gotta do because
26:19
Speaker 1: we're we're land a foundation. He used to say, we're
26:21
Speaker 1: getting our ship together because he didn't know about landing
26:23
Speaker 1: a foundation. But he's getting all of his everything elevated
26:27
Speaker 1: now just by hanging you feel me, and I appreciate
26:31
Speaker 1: him so much, love his kids to death, his youngest son,
26:33
Speaker 1: that's my God's son. And it's like he riding with me.
26:37
Speaker 1: He riding with me, and it's like it's so amazing
26:39
Speaker 1: to see that powerful transition like that because that's all
26:41
Speaker 1: we know, simply smoke weed and try to get some
26:44
Speaker 1: money and do it again tomorrow. Yeah. I feel like you,
26:48
Speaker 1: even from this broke, just like you utilized every like
26:53
Speaker 1: everything that you were surrounded by, like your environment. You
26:55
Speaker 1: used it for the greater good, like from your dad
26:57
Speaker 1: cooking in front of you, from the a ttunity to
27:00
Speaker 1: sell candy from a young age, even though you didn't
27:03
Speaker 1: get the car you know to like even like how
27:07
Speaker 1: you made the sandwich is working with stuff that was
27:09
Speaker 1: in your friends. It was done for two reasons. A two,
27:15
Speaker 1: I can't believe I maybe said this ay to try
27:18
Speaker 1: to be accepted slash. I don't even care about being
27:23
Speaker 1: accepted now because the second part was me just being
27:27
Speaker 1: comfortable with me being me. And since I've become grown,
27:33
Speaker 1: I become more content with that just me being me.
27:37
Speaker 1: My homies used to be like, why are you trying
27:38
Speaker 1: to talk white and ship when I said, like, like
27:40
Speaker 1: I gave you that pitch for when after you come
27:42
Speaker 1: to All Flavor, thanks for coming to All Flavor, not grease,
27:45
Speaker 1: Like why the fun you talking like that? You're just
27:47
Speaker 1: talking like you white? No, why because I'm using a
27:49
Speaker 1: little elegant and grammar when I talk like I'm supposed
27:51
Speaker 1: to like a regular human being, just because you're not
27:54
Speaker 1: thinking of utilize your regular like. So it used to
27:57
Speaker 1: make me like think like, damn, you're really and weird.
28:01
Speaker 1: But I said, you know what, I won't even do
28:03
Speaker 1: that because that's wasting time dually going something that's not
28:06
Speaker 1: gonna have no profit or no game for you. So
28:09
Speaker 1: you worry about you, you do your thing. And since
28:12
Speaker 1: I prompt thank you guys. Since I've been doing my
28:15
Speaker 1: thing and being led by inspiration and just being faithful
28:18
Speaker 1: to what I believe in, Scott has been the limit.
28:23
Speaker 1: I've been realizing more and more in today's world, like
28:25
Speaker 1: even when I meet people, the realer they are, like
28:28
Speaker 1: I like, I could fall in love with somebody instantly
28:32
Speaker 1: when they're themselves, You're like, oh my god, that person
28:34
Speaker 1: was so you know, I like literally, I'm like glowing
28:37
Speaker 1: ear to air, like I'm sure I'm gonna be like
28:39
Speaker 1: that with you all day. I when be talking about you.
28:42
Speaker 1: But one thing you did say and I kind of
28:45
Speaker 1: want to focus on, is you said it started with
28:47
Speaker 1: you being wanting to be accepted, Like can you kind
28:50
Speaker 1: of go over that a little bit more in detail?
28:52
Speaker 1: Ship being fat and stank, you with no real life
28:56
Speaker 1: like homies that are gen will your homies, but they
29:01
Speaker 1: only your homies because y'all from the same neighborhood. But
29:03
Speaker 1: you really don't kind of relate and mesh with them.
29:06
Speaker 1: But it's like you want to relate to mesh with
29:08
Speaker 1: them because these your homies. These are motherfucker's who you're
29:11
Speaker 1: seeing every day and he's your friends. He's the ones
29:13
Speaker 1: who you're going to school with. But when you seeing
29:15
Speaker 1: them acting weird, you're thinking like, there, now I can
29:20
Speaker 1: say it's weird, but I did. I would say acting
29:22
Speaker 1: different or I'm trying to keep up with the jones Is.
29:24
Speaker 1: But now I'm understanding, like why they act weird. I'm
29:26
Speaker 1: trying to figure how can I be weird too? Or
29:29
Speaker 1: how can I just be in? Man? I want to
29:31
Speaker 1: fit in and I just want to feel me. How
29:32
Speaker 1: do you roll the blood or how do you just
29:34
Speaker 1: cuss like this? Or you just but it's like all
29:37
Speaker 1: the time, I wouldn't you, Yeah, it wouldn't you. Like
29:42
Speaker 1: fast rewind my background, born and raised in church. I
29:44
Speaker 1: wasn't even supposed to be born. My mom had sits
29:47
Speaker 1: on her old reason. Everything she was prayed for by
29:49
Speaker 1: the bishop. Then she going up about a couple of
29:51
Speaker 1: months later to a prophilay that was at the church
29:53
Speaker 1: that said, like, are you expecting the baby? She said, yes,
29:55
Speaker 1: I am. She like, what do you want to have?
29:57
Speaker 1: She said, a little girl? She said, I'm sorry to
29:58
Speaker 1: tell you, but you're gonna have a little boy and
30:00
Speaker 1: his name should be Samuel. And now he'll be a
30:02
Speaker 1: prophet and now he'll prophet, signing all over the land
30:04
Speaker 1: and telling good news. So my mama looked at her like,
30:07
Speaker 1: you don't lost your mind, Like I'm only too much
30:09
Speaker 1: pregn Now are you gonna tell me I'm gonna have
30:10
Speaker 1: a little boy? To fast forward seven months later, she
30:12
Speaker 1: end up having a little boy and naming me Samuel.
30:15
Speaker 1: And it's like, by me having that type of background
30:20
Speaker 1: and then the environment that I was hanging around, it
30:23
Speaker 1: always was off balance because she's steady coming out, saw
30:27
Speaker 1: before the street lights come on, Samuel coming to the house,
30:31
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what the fuck, Like I do not
30:34
Speaker 1: want to go in the house right now. It's just
30:35
Speaker 1: now son going down, this cracking, more homies coming out.
30:38
Speaker 1: But it's like, no, I didn't understand that. I just
30:41
Speaker 1: thought you were being an overprotective hate and ask mother
30:44
Speaker 1: all the time you've foreseen. Mom thinks what the mischief?
30:48
Speaker 1: And BS was already about to turn into because you've
30:50
Speaker 1: been around the block before. So now that I'm grown,
30:55
Speaker 1: it's just it's just different. Now. It's like I'm glad
30:58
Speaker 1: that she was doing what she was doing because it
31:01
Speaker 1: helped me now to where the majority of them people
31:04
Speaker 1: even if they are still alive, are just you know,
31:06
Speaker 1: father to the wayside a little bit. They don't inquired
31:09
Speaker 1: about jobs and everything from me. Now, hm, wow, that's deep.
31:17
Speaker 1: That's real. So sometimes for me personally, as I grow
31:22
Speaker 1: or pursue my dreams, I've noticed there's a divide when
31:25
Speaker 1: it comes to friendships. So you have the friends that
31:28
Speaker 1: are down for you when you're down, like, hey, I
31:30
Speaker 1: don't have any money. You know, here's an opportunity to
31:33
Speaker 1: so we'd for instance. But then you also have those
31:36
Speaker 1: friends that are down for you, but when you're up,
31:39
Speaker 1: they kind of hate you. Have you experienced that all ship? Now?
31:44
Speaker 1: Could never experience that? Really? While I was growing up,
31:46
Speaker 1: I ain't had ship. Would you go, hey, don't. I
31:49
Speaker 1: was always like the the the popular pond you play chess, Yeah,
31:55
Speaker 1: well I'm not good at it, but you know the pieces,
31:59
Speaker 1: I was like a popular pond. Why you say that, Keith,
32:03
Speaker 1: Because it was like I was always strategic. I was pushed.
32:07
Speaker 1: You'll think that he's going this way, and right before
32:09
Speaker 1: you get to that square, he's already on this square
32:12
Speaker 1: and it's a game for a couple more moves that's coming.
32:14
Speaker 1: So it's like Sam got the gift for gab. Sam
32:18
Speaker 1: is a people person, Sam Gonna make the people laugh, Sam,
32:20
Speaker 1: Sam Sam, I was a common denominator. You feel me. However,
32:24
Speaker 1: it was like I still kind of stood out like
32:26
Speaker 1: the ugly duckling because like I said, I'm I'm a
32:30
Speaker 1: big guy. Like I said, true, I mean, did you
32:35
Speaker 1: mask it? Because you clearly thought way different than everybody
32:38
Speaker 1: because I was scared to you even say something because
32:40
Speaker 1: I was scared of your opinion of what you might think.
32:43
Speaker 1: So I'll just bottle a game of ship game. So
32:52
Speaker 1: now that you're successful, have you experienced the people that
32:57
Speaker 1: actually hate your success from your own community up? The
33:00
Speaker 1: ones that I don't let me well, sort of kind
33:03
Speaker 1: of because the ones that used to be in the
33:06
Speaker 1: neighborhood they moved away now, so it's like I don't
33:09
Speaker 1: really have to deal with that no more. And like
33:11
Speaker 1: I said, a few people that passed away, the ones
33:14
Speaker 1: I used to say the little slander and jokes and
33:16
Speaker 1: ship like that. So it's like it's kind of different now,
33:20
Speaker 1: especially by me being on a pedal stool and their
33:23
Speaker 1: eyes it's like they just approached me different. Just the
33:26
Speaker 1: conversation is different. It's like this is just different now.
33:30
Speaker 1: So future wise, like where do you see the future
33:34
Speaker 1: for all flavor no Greece going to the town No
33:39
Speaker 1: but excuse me, future for all flavor no Greece, I
33:43
Speaker 1: see a break and mortar restaurant, hopefully and perfectly over
33:45
Speaker 1: by the new so far around stadium. So we're we're
33:50
Speaker 1: working towards that, you know. You know, the L A
33:53
Speaker 1: Rams are moving to Woodlen Hills. And I'm not saying
33:56
Speaker 1: just because I live in the valley, just because I
33:58
Speaker 1: live in the valley. I'm just saying will and Hills.
34:00
Speaker 1: The L A Ram Stadium is moving to the old
34:02
Speaker 1: mall over there. And so you know, if all flavor
34:05
Speaker 1: no Greece, but I have is better grace of guy
34:07
Speaker 1: wants to go over there, you know, just saying that's
34:11
Speaker 1: a good opportunity to you know, I'm more over working
34:14
Speaker 1: on that, probably getting a few food trucks set in
34:17
Speaker 1: different areas and counties out here in California, as well
34:20
Speaker 1: as a few in the South. And I actually want
34:22
Speaker 1: to focus more on which I should have said first,
34:25
Speaker 1: is my calling ministry and be a motivational keynote speaking.
34:29
Speaker 1: I love being in front of the people. Thank you.
34:33
Speaker 1: I just love being in front of the people. I
34:36
Speaker 1: love sharing my testimony and my experience because I know
34:39
Speaker 1: a lot of people can relate. And also, like I
34:42
Speaker 1: promise you, I also cannot wait to be in front
34:45
Speaker 1: of the big camera. I want to act so bad,
34:49
Speaker 1: so so so bad. Are you pursuing it? Are YouTube
34:52
Speaker 1: busy a little bit? But now since things are starting
34:55
Speaker 1: to open up, the business is kind of, you know,
34:58
Speaker 1: spreading itself out. You taking care this, Whitneys taking care
35:01
Speaker 1: of this, Don's taking care of this. So now Keith
35:03
Speaker 1: is starting to have a little bit more free time. However,
35:06
Speaker 1: I don't want the free time to turn into idle time,
35:09
Speaker 1: got it? You feel me? Feel me? You want your
35:12
Speaker 1: free time to be utilized in the right way, because
35:15
Speaker 1: once you become idle, then your mind is vulnerable and
35:18
Speaker 1: open to doing all economissions. You don't want that. You
35:22
Speaker 1: want to still remain busy, So hopefully and prayerfully, I
35:25
Speaker 1: just meet the right connect and it's so I promise you.
35:28
Speaker 1: I promise you. A problems you bro from Disney Plus
35:32
Speaker 1: to the Steve Harby Show, to Kelly Clarkson Show, to
35:35
Speaker 1: like every last single person who came to do an
35:38
Speaker 1: interview or show. I have to ask him, so how
35:41
Speaker 1: did you find me? First thing we say, Oh, we
35:44
Speaker 1: ran across your page. Oh up, something just popped up
35:48
Speaker 1: to let you know that I'm only doing what I'm
35:51
Speaker 1: doing on my side by exercise and faith and putting
35:54
Speaker 1: work behind it. For the Bible teaches us faith what
35:56
Speaker 1: our works is dead. So if you put some work
35:58
Speaker 1: behind your faith, that's when you can look for something
36:01
Speaker 1: that happened on this card for real, for real and
36:04
Speaker 1: our promise like has been happening, like the endeavors that
36:10
Speaker 1: I haven't been on, and just level up sins has
36:13
Speaker 1: been off like it on We Want you, buddy. That's
36:18
Speaker 1: how That's how eating all broke out off the ground.
36:20
Speaker 1: I was I was working on the show and no
36:24
Speaker 1: like I got a call. Don trying to tell the
36:26
Speaker 1: whole story, but I got a call on the show
36:28
Speaker 1: got picked up before we even launched. It was like,
36:31
Speaker 1: we want the show now. I'm like, but it's it's
36:34
Speaker 1: just that we wanted now. That's big. It's so crazy
36:39
Speaker 1: because just slightly off subject. I was just telling one
36:42
Speaker 1: of my colleagues lead just yesterday, I said, bro, I said,
36:46
Speaker 1: even during the pandemic, during every step of the way.
36:50
Speaker 1: I said. We ain't asked for nothing. I said, we
36:53
Speaker 1: haven't gotten out a grant, loan, nothing, not a nothing, legal, nothing.
36:57
Speaker 1: But you didn't try to get PvP. We tried to
37:00
Speaker 1: about everything the right way. It didn't get approved. I
37:03
Speaker 1: don't know why it didn't question it. The only thing
37:06
Speaker 1: we did was stayed down, devoted and worked hard and
37:09
Speaker 1: still doing it till today. So I told him, I said, bro,
37:12
Speaker 1: we haven't even reaped our harvests the blessings yet, as
37:15
Speaker 1: far as just donations and gifts and people just saying here,
37:18
Speaker 1: I feel you deserved this because we just saw in
37:21
Speaker 1: the field going hard and working hard. I said, so
37:23
Speaker 1: long as we keep doing that, I said, we got
37:26
Speaker 1: a harvest to reap sooner than later. Yeah. And then
37:29
Speaker 1: how did COVID COVID nineteen affected my business and a
37:35
Speaker 1: peculiar way. And the reason why I say that is
37:38
Speaker 1: because the dining did stop. However, we're food trap, so
37:43
Speaker 1: it was to go food Now that was a perk
37:47
Speaker 1: because a lot of people were He's trying to, like
37:52
Speaker 1: I said, going to the a lot of two goo spots,
37:55
Speaker 1: and um, the food truck industry is actually overseat curated, right,
38:00
Speaker 1: now with a different type of just genre food from
38:06
Speaker 1: different angles, and a lot of people is not serious
38:08
Speaker 1: about the whole entrepreneurial hustle within itself, and a lot
38:13
Speaker 1: of people looking at it like, all right, let me
38:15
Speaker 1: just go make some breayer real quick. I know I
38:17
Speaker 1: could cook, or I feel like I could. My unset
38:19
Speaker 1: I could. Let me go try to do this, and
38:20
Speaker 1: then it's like you fall off in three to six months,
38:22
Speaker 1: and it's like you don't waste the time. The food
38:24
Speaker 1: truck industry is kind of expensive too, so if you're
38:26
Speaker 1: half asking it or you're not really passionate about what
38:29
Speaker 1: you're doing, and you're looking at it from a money perspective,
38:31
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose just the truck alone. And I won't
38:34
Speaker 1: say no numbers activists, but just the food truck alone.
38:37
Speaker 1: Into the commissaries, the place where you park your food
38:40
Speaker 1: truck five thousand, that's no home monthly, so you guys
38:46
Speaker 1: don't even have a rent or you know, you're just
38:49
Speaker 1: parking it for the night. And I would assume you
38:51
Speaker 1: get to dump your grace. Yes, yes, you get the
38:53
Speaker 1: dump everything like waste, you get three field water, you
38:56
Speaker 1: get ice, and like I said, it's a proper storage,
38:59
Speaker 1: but just for your truck re lease unless you own
39:01
Speaker 1: the truck. I know your truck, which means I'm paid
39:03
Speaker 1: over a hundred eighty thousand for it, which I highly
39:06
Speaker 1: got a lot of people in the industry is doing.
39:08
Speaker 1: Right now. You're leasing it, and like I said, you're
39:11
Speaker 1: paying your your commissary for a five grand plus your
39:15
Speaker 1: lease fee. No, no, no, no, your commissary fee is
39:18
Speaker 1: a thousand. Your truck will be about four thousand. So
39:22
Speaker 1: that's why I said five grandom up for that. And
39:24
Speaker 1: that's just like I said, that's just for your business.
39:26
Speaker 1: That's not talking about food. Come on, and food has
39:29
Speaker 1: an expiration date, so if those people don't eat, it
39:32
Speaker 1: is also upon inflation right now. Bad. That's why when
39:38
Speaker 1: I go to McDonald's just like fifteen, I'm that was
39:42
Speaker 1: a question, and I'm right, you're absolutely crecing for yourself. Yeah,
39:48
Speaker 1: you're not even sharing with nobody. Yeah wow, so somebody
39:52
Speaker 1: really adapting and then trying to stay relevant. Feel But
39:56
Speaker 1: now with the food truck industry, do you deal with
39:58
Speaker 1: like cash flow issues? The food truck industry goal low
40:06
Speaker 1: key crack inevitably, because not only is it new to
40:10
Speaker 1: the culture, but it's a variety of food going on.
40:14
Speaker 1: So it's really just based on the type of product
40:17
Speaker 1: that you're presenting to the economy. If they're feeling you,
40:20
Speaker 1: they're feeling your product, then that's a given cash flow
40:23
Speaker 1: is going to happen. But if they're not, then it's
40:26
Speaker 1: not yeah, then you then you end up that's where
40:29
Speaker 1: you end up shutting down. I guess correct for those
40:31
Speaker 1: people that do. Because it's a hype and a peak.
40:34
Speaker 1: It's like a skyrocket. See what you need a cake?
40:37
Speaker 1: You know what the cake is for fireworks? All I
40:42
Speaker 1: thought about was like a seven layer chocolate cake. A
40:45
Speaker 1: cake is actually like a box and he lighted one
40:49
Speaker 1: time and it has a numerous amount of shots on there.
40:51
Speaker 1: You feel me a lot of people getting in the
40:54
Speaker 1: food truck, even the whole culinary industry from restaurants, pop ups,
40:59
Speaker 1: food trucks. They're doing like a skyrocket. They go up
41:03
Speaker 1: pal and then the stick just falls down. You want
41:06
Speaker 1: to be like a cake that don't stop, or like
41:08
Speaker 1: a switchboard that Disneyland loose. You light it one time
41:11
Speaker 1: and it's cracking boom boom boom, boom boom boom. You
41:14
Speaker 1: keep the momentum going. But if you're dishing your work ethic,
41:19
Speaker 1: it's only work for Skyrocket and you getting into the
41:21
Speaker 1: big league with the switchboards in the in the cakes,
41:24
Speaker 1: it's like and up for us bro, you're winning the way.
41:28
Speaker 1: When I talked to a lot of the entrepreneurs in
41:31
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, the black entrepreneurs, I feel like there's a
41:34
Speaker 1: level of lovel and you you unity amongst you guys, Um,
41:41
Speaker 1: what do you where do you think that comes from? Her? Like?
41:45
Speaker 1: How does that happen? Because I do notice that you
41:47
Speaker 1: guys all support each other, all right, could be misled.
41:52
Speaker 1: Maybe for the most part everybody does. But on the
41:56
Speaker 1: black side, yeah, for the most part, everybody does. But
41:59
Speaker 1: you know, even certain black people find a reason, hey
42:01
Speaker 1: on something for some reason, just in their DNA. However,
42:06
Speaker 1: it was never really a problem for me because, like
42:09
Speaker 1: I said, my whole mission from the gate was to
42:11
Speaker 1: make friends and food. Yeah you feel me? That was
42:15
Speaker 1: like low key my mission statement, bringing unity to the
42:17
Speaker 1: community through food. So I never had a problem on
42:21
Speaker 1: to Curly Joe, Tom and Harry. But everybody's not a
42:26
Speaker 1: people person like me. So a lot of people get
42:30
Speaker 1: information and say, like, all right, I'm looking at him
42:34
Speaker 1: do that all that's simple, that's easy. Let me go
42:37
Speaker 1: try Yeah, and they go try it, and then I
42:40
Speaker 1: actually cracked for the first month. Yeah, but it's like,
42:44
Speaker 1: where's Joe. You need some some substance, Like you're like,
42:47
Speaker 1: what you're gonna go to keep you going? I feel
42:49
Speaker 1: like passion plays a huge role, Like if you get
42:52
Speaker 1: into anything you're doing for money, it's just short lived.
42:56
Speaker 1: I agree for the simple fact. My passion is food.
43:00
Speaker 1: My passion is the people. If you keep the people,
43:04
Speaker 1: you cook so damn good trip this keep the people
43:08
Speaker 1: happy through the food, you won't. My customer service is
43:14
Speaker 1: only like a perk that's on a hundred that keeps
43:17
Speaker 1: them coming back. That's like keep them coming back, Like
43:19
Speaker 1: I'm the fisherman of men with that, but I'm fishing
43:22
Speaker 1: for the men and women with the food. That's my bait.
43:28
Speaker 1: That was a good one. This is the bait. And wow,
43:31
Speaker 1: and I'm rilling a man with just me being meat.
43:35
Speaker 1: So when you being you, I know there's a tour
43:38
Speaker 1: going on, you're coming up, Can you tell us where
43:42
Speaker 1: we can find you and bump into you? And of course,
43:47
Speaker 1: of course, of course he's looking at his phone right now,

Speaker 1: It's like a lot of questions that you might have
44:19

44:22
Speaker 1: but you want some different insight mainly towards the food
44:26
Speaker 1: industry or is it could be any industry. As an
44:29

44:52
Speaker 1: it's Sunday evening or Monday and um Law States. Nevada
44:56
Speaker 1: gotta be our first stop and then we're going to
44:58
Speaker 1: head to Indianapolis. Then we'll go to Houston, and we're
45:01
Speaker 1: going to Atlanta that I think it's Norfolk. This first
45:07
Speaker 1: go around, right, a lot of people have been hitting
45:10
Speaker 1: me up on a d M asking that, but I
45:13
Speaker 1: told him like no, this would be a big Q

45:26
Speaker 1: different light on just business, especially for the culinary industry. So,
45:31
Speaker 1: like I know, it's a lot of people starting up businesses,
45:34
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of people, like I said, with
45:36
Speaker 1: questions and answers. We don't have the mall, but we've
45:39
Speaker 1: had a different side of talent experience, and we've all
45:42

Speaker 1: they're gonna say it's great. But if you make a
46:55

47:00

47:09
Speaker 1: just assume that the customer service is gonna suck really bad.
