For episode 175, we welcomed Robert Irvine to the show! Robert Irvine is a world-class chef and entrepreneur, and a tireless philanthropic supporter of our nation’s military. The host of Food Network’s hit show Restaurant: Impossible, he has given struggling restaurateurs a second chance to turn their lives and businesses around in over 300 episodes and counting. He would know a thing or two about running a successful business. In addition to his restaurants—Robert Irvine’s Public House at the Tropicana in Las Vegas and Fresh Kitchen by Robert Irvine within the Pentagon—he is the owner of FitCrunch, whose protein bars, powders, and snacks are available nationwide; Robert Irvine Foods, which makes prepared, restaurant-quality dishes available in grocery stores; and the Lansdale, PA-based Boardroom Spirits, creators of handcrafted vodka, rum, whiskey, and more. Two new signature products—Irvine’s Vodka and Irvine’s American Dry Gin—are in the beginning stages of a nationwide rollout. A portion of the proceeds from all of Robert’s endeavors benefit the Robert Irvine Foundation. Created in 2014, the foundation gives back to our servicemen and women and first responders. Funds raised help at-need veterans and first responders in a variety of ways: training service dogs, making mental health and wellness services available to veterans in need, providing mobility devices for the disabled, and much more. For his charitable work and service on numerous USO tours, Robert is the recipient of several civilian honors, including Honorary Chief Petty Officer of the United States Navy, and the Medal of Honor Society’s Bob Hope Award. When not filming for television or working overseas with the USO, he can be found on tour with Robert Irvine LIVE, an unpredictable interactive cooking challenge done before a live audience in packed theaters. He is the distinguished author of four cookbooks, Mission: Cook, Impossible to Easy, Fit Fuel, and Family Table by Robert Irvine, plus the business leadership book, Overcoming Impossible: How to Lead, Build a Team, and Catapult Your Business to Success. Drawing on his vast experience both in building his own businesses and helping others fix theirs, it is the ultimate distillation of his business and leadership knowledge. He is also the publisher of Robert Irvine Magazine, a free digital publication delivering workouts, recipes, and motivational content. In our discussion we covered his foray into the world of cooking, why leadership is vital in and outside the kitchen, his work with the military and veterans, operating a restaurant inside the Pentagon, the role of fitness in his life, how is able to manage all of his work on a daily basis, the importance of a strong family to keep him in check, working on television, and so much more! #robertirvine #resturantimpossible #foodnetwork #fitness #military <p style='color:grey; fon

Stan Hays is the co-founder and CEO of Operation BBQ Relief (OBR), an organization dedicated to providing hot meals to communities affected by natural disasters. Since its inception, OBR has served millions of meals to disaster victims, first responders, and volunteers12.

Operation BBQ Relief is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was founded in May 2011 in response to a need for tornado relief efforts in Joplin, Missouri. Competitive pitmasters from nine different states answered the call to feed displaced families and first responders. Together, they were able to serve over 120,000 meals in a 13-day period. This experience of building a network to feed individuals in need has been the inspiration for Operation BBQ Relief. To date, Operation BBQ Relief has provided over 11 million meals throughout the United States and internationally following natural disasters, COVID-19 response, and through The Always Serving Project, benefiting the homeless, first responders, veterans and members of the military. In our discussion we cover how he began his BBQ career, what it means to be a pit master and what it takes to compete in competitions, the events of the Joplin, Missouri tornado in 2011 and why that sprung him to react the way it did, creating Operation BBQ Relief, what it takes to run and maintain OBR, why food is something that brings everyone together, working with the military and Gold Star families, and so much more! #operationbbqrelief #stanhays #pitmaster Hosted on Acast.
