So, these are spicy,
smoky wings.
They've got the smoked
peach jam in there,
so that's where
the smokiness comes from,
and then there's some mint
and peanuts on top.

I'm an entrepreneur
just like you guys.
To even be an entrepreneur
is, like,
a dream for most of the people
that I grew up with.
Boyd: I know when I told
my mother that I was leaving
to start my own company,
obviously, we have other things
that are coming that are gonna
be a priority, as well...
Right.
...um, but she just couldn't
fathom the idea
that once you reach a-a certain
ceiling that they're like,
"We didn't even know
that existed,"
and now you want
to go beyond that?
It's scary.
Friends and family would say,
"Hey, why don't you just go
for the safer route
so we know you're safe?"
What's the safe route?
Safe route is
forget about your dreams
and just live your life
as "like a normal person."
Mm.
Don't spend e-extra time
killing yourself,
trying to build
your dream.
I know those stresses,
and that's what works me up,
you know?
That's what
gets me fired up
to just have fellowship
around that,
uh, and make sure that we're a
support network for each other,
um, and, you know,
if you look like how we look,
you know, we don't
come from communities
where we have that kind of
infrastructure in place.
For me, the biggest drivers
have been creative
and having people around you
that support you,
and I feel like if you have
the two of those,
you can make up any type
of company that you want.
Ash, what do you feel
hearing this?
It's interesting to me to see
who it is
that you and Don
surround yourselves with.
It's all entrepreneurs.
It's all people, you know, going
out there trying to get it.
You know, this is why when
you said I'm not grinding,
I was like,
"What are you talking about?"
Because these are my friends,
you know?
Mm-hmm.
All of these people are telling
you that this is what they do.
Yeah.
You know, they live it.
This guy
just left his job
and his wife
is having a baby...
Right.
...and he's like,
"Doesn't matter." Like...
D-Does that pump you up?
Yeah. Yeah.
'Cause we're over here like,
"How are they doing it?"
Like, you know, but like --
But that's -- that's inspiring.
Like,
so for me, it's just
like I-I'm not gonna stop
until this happens.
Like, I need to be sitting
right here
with all of them
telling my story, right?
