“I don't think I started out that I wanted to open up a restaurant. I just wanted to make great barbecue. And so I started inviting friends over to my cabin and could say, hey, why don't you guys come over this Friday and I'll cook you up some barbecue? They said, sure. So then they started showing up and they'd say, oh my God, Dave, this stuff's phenomenal. You ought to open up your own ribshack. Well, the more that happened, finally the dream started to come together. And so in the northwoods of Wisconsin, I started building this barbecue shack.”

“Well, I can remember it was still in grade school, but I had come home and my dad was home. And I can remember opening up the porch door. I was just overwhelmed by this aroma. And he had been to the south side of Chicago. He had gone to one of his favorite barbecue joints. I see my dad pulling this rack of ribs out of his lunch bucket that was wrapped in newspapers. This was the real deal. Real wood, real flames, real fire. And I tasted that rib. And even though I've been eating barbecue all these years, it was that day, that time.”

“Yeah, I can remember that the day that Stratosphere opened, my wife and I were in a limousine on the bottom watching this wonderful skyscraper casino that really changed forever the skyline of Las Vegas. And I said, I think I'm going to leave tomorrow. I didn't want casino gaming to be what I was known for in life. I really was a Native American. I was an entrepreneur. I really don't want my kids to think that gaming was where dad hung his hat in life. And that's when I made the decision to quit.”

“Yeah, but we were also helping tribes become successful in emerging gaming markets. But I want to be careful when I say this because not every tribe does really well with casino gaming. There's a lot of small tribes that have small gaming enterprises, but the one thing they're able to do is keep people employed. And there's probably only a handful of tribes that really have come into significant wealth. But a lot of these tribes also help other tribes because now there's access to capital.”

“We started out that way, and then we got to be so successful. We actually took Grand Casinos Public. So that's the first time I was part of a company that went public. And we went on to build eight casinos all over the country, in fact, also built stratosphere.”

“Oh my God, we not only sold out, we had people that were like banging on the door. We literally had to lock the doors and we had hundreds of people standing outside that wanted in. And that's what really kind of started my being known in Indian country because then I started like a consulting business that I would help other tribes figure out how to do big bingos. I was doing some consulting for the Malax tribe and the tribal chairman came up to me. He said, I foresee that casino gaming is going to be a big thing. Could you help get us started? And so we were able to put together a financing group. So I was one of the original founders of Grand Casinos.”

“It was in a skating rink for kids. And I said, why don't we hold a big bingo game? Because back then the bingo games generally had a jackpot of $1,000. But I was thinking, well, if I could fit 400 people in here and they spent $50, that's $20,000. So I said, Fred, why don't we offer a $20,000 jackpot And he looked at me like I was crazy. I said, I think we can do it. I said, if you were to have $20,000 bingos, what do you think they would pay? You said, well, I think they'd spend $100. I said, great. Let's charge $100 and see if we could sell it.”

“Right, and I didn't know a thing about Bengal, but again, you know, one of my strengths is seeing things that other people don't see, so I watch his bingo game, and I would see generally ladies and some guys, older guys. They come to bingo, you know, spend a few dollars and have a good time. And I got to thinking, you know, some of these gals really spend a lot of money playing bingo. So I asked this other guy who was kind of helping me. I said, Fred. I said, what do you think they spend here sometimes? He said, you know, they may spend anywhere from $20 to $50. I said, really? Well, this place can hold 400 people.”

“Well, kind of what happened for years I mean years I would enroll every fall religiously I would enroll in school and I always dropped out I mean I think if you went back and looked at Roosevelt University's records you'd laugh because you'd see enrolled dropped out enrolled dropped out I just could never make it I think what made the difference for me at Harvard was I was able to take the courses that I wanted to take and I took courses that I understood because once you get into any master's program in Harvard or any graduate program you can basically go to any school there and take a course so having worked for a tribe I really flourished in a course that had to do with community development and so I was able to design a course”

“Very much so. We had a group of native business people who went from doing a job to becoming entrepreneurs in a way that really wanted to be successful in their businesses. And within three years, we turned around all the businesses. We're now making money. We now have accountability. And we got recognized by President Reagan's Commission on Indian Reservation Economies as being one of the top eight most progressive tribes in the country.”

“Not just morale, just the basic understanding of thinking successfully. They didn't talk about prophets. They didn't talk about achievement. That's when I called up Zig Zigler and I said, Zig, remember me. You met my dad. We're the Native Americans from Oklahoma, my dad's Choctaw. He said, I remember you, Dave. I said, I would like to bring 20 of my managers and my assistant managers down to Dallas, Texas to go through your born-to-win course. So I bring this group down there. I come back and boy did I catch holy hell. The tribal leadership comes to me and said, we heard you took all of our managers down to Happy Camp. We could have used that money to have groceries for the poor. We could have built roofs over the elderly. I said, yeah, but you're failing in your businesses because nobody thinks about success.”

“And they had a bingo haul. But one of the things I noticed right away was every time I was in one of these businesses, we were failing. We were losing money like water flowing out of a sieve. Hundreds of thousands of dollars, easily a half a million dollars a year we were losing. And then I realized that the problem was that with any of the people working within these businesses, they didn't think successfully. They didn't talk about achievement.”

“It was my mom's tribe, the Lake Superior Band of La Coutere, Ojibwe, they had called me up and they said, Dave, we understand that you owned your own business in Chicago. We could really use your help. They had a cranberry marsh. They had a logging company. They had a construction company that was building houses for Indian people. They had a grocery store. They had a printing company. They had a gas station.”

And, you know, a lot of people don't realize when you can't pay bills, you know, back then I was digging through seat cushions to find change just so I could buy my kids milk. It was tough. It was just so tough that because of snowstorm, I ended up going bankrupt, lost everything because of that.”

“Well, act of God, I don't know how to explain it other than the Chicago Blizzard of nineteen seventy nine. Look it up. You will see snow that goes over the roof of cars. The mayor of City of Chicago could not clean city streets for three months. Because of that blizzard, that snowstorm that just created a gridlock in the city of Chicago, a lot of businesses went bankrupt. And in the flower business, I had a whole bunch of floors that could not pay me at all. And then for months, no orders.”

“I'm packing up my boxes and about ready to leave and the president of the bank, Gerhardt Umloff, he says, Anderson, he said, I want to see you in my office. I am sweating bullets. I think I must have pissed off one of his customers and I start to go back to his office and I have never seen a desk as big as this desk. And he says, pretty good job, Andy. I heard about your dish gardens and you really did a good job with my bank clientele here. He said, I also understand that you're looking for a loan. I said, yes, sir. He said, well, how much do you need? I said, ten thousand dollars. And he's looking at me. He says, well, what kind of assets do you have? I thought my heart sunk. I knew I wasn't going to get my loan. I said, well, sir, I don't have assets. I figured I had a net worth of $400.”

“And they always had a speaker, and so I liked that. I joined my local chamber of commerce and I was there religiously. In fact, I started helping set up. And one day I was at a chamber of commerce meeting. And one of the presidents of the bank grabs me after the meeting. His name was Gerhardt Umloff. He was the president of the Bank of Chicago on Wilson Avenue. He said, Anderson, Jim Ashner speaks highly of you. He said, I'm having a promotion at my bank this Saturday. How would you like to set up in our lobby? I'm going to have somebody on the other side pass out hot dogs and balloons and popcorn, and you can sell your dish gardens. So the next morning I show up at the bank, I set up, and I sell out.”

“Well, part of my story is that I'm Native American, just started out in business. My parents don't have money. I don't have money. My business is growing, and I can't get a bank loan. I must have pounded the streets of Chicago. I went to bank after bank and always got turned down. You got to have assets. You got to have collateral. And I said, well, I'm starting out. I really don't. By the way, what's an asset? I mean, I would have stacks of orders and I would go into a bank and I wasn't able to get anywhere. But something else, Mr. Ashton, shared with me. One day he said, you know, Dave, if you really want to get ahead, you've got to join the local chamber of commerce. So I dressed up and I went to a chamber of commerce meeting.”

“In your pocket, and he hands me a fistful of cash. And I said, Mr. Ashton, I can't accept this. I came here to help you because that's how grateful I am you gave me my first opportunity. Mr Ashton couldn't believe that I would work for nothing, and he went and told every one of his florists that he was good friends with. He said, you got to meet this kid. He's a hard worker. He's got beautiful stuff. Give him a chance. Give him an opportunity. So after that first summer, I had almost every major retail floreist in the city of Chicago.”

“Yeah, the first time I have my own samples I go to Richard Lank Flore's and I got my first order from mister Ashner at Richard Lank Florest and that Mother's Day I went to his flower shop because I knew he was going to be busy. And you know what a lot of people don't realize is that florists, unlike a retail store that can order toys three months in advance florists have to work like days around the clock because it seems like everybody forgets they have a mother until Mother's Day. But all of these flower arrangements have to be fresh. So I went to them and I helped them. I busted down his boxes. I swept his floor. I even cleaned his bathroom for him. And then I helped him deliver flowers. And after that Mother's Day, everybody's exhausted. He comes up to me and he said, here, put this.”

“Well, I think it goes back to my art teacher who said, Dave, you see things other people don't see. So I think I had this ability that I could take these little plants and arrange them so that there was almost a sort of magical feeling to them. You know, they were alive. They had color. And I was able to arrange them. So they really looked special. And I think that's what the florists saw when I would bring my samples. And they saw something that was really special.”

And then my dad being an electrician set up a whole line of grow lights in his basement. So I started bringing in hundreds and hundreds of plants.”

“There was a young lady there who was selling these little bubble balls at Christmas that had partridge berries in what they call princess pines wrapped in some moss. And I'd never seen anything so beautiful. Well, she had said that she just couldn't go out and sound. I said, well, I can saw. And so on my own time when I wasn't working at Eddie Bauer, I would go out and I would go to a flower store and show them these bubble balls and they liked them. Then I realized that I should be doing this for myself. I started making my own line of terrariums in planted dish gardens.”

But I went over there and the significant part of this is that not only did I meet my wife there who was selling menswear at Eddie Bauer, that's kind of how I get into selling terrariums.”

“Yeah, because, you know, growing up, I was really probably the shyest bashful kid in class, and here I am trying to be a salesman. And so for years in my dad's basement, I stood in front of a $5 mirror that I got from Kmart, and I had a candle. And I would say, A, B, C. And I tried to put that candle out with my voice. And I would practice smiling in the mirror. Today, everybody thinks I'm photogenic. They think I've got a good smile. Well, I worked at that smile. In fact, I even would wink at myself. But these were the things that I did because I realized I had to change who I was. I had to go from being a shy, bashful, dumb kid into being somebody that could go into a room and be able to share a story, being able to tell somebody who you were.”

Part of this opportunity was we had to go through a five day how to sell training program. That training program changed my life Because part of the training program every day was they would tear down everything you thought about yourself and then they would build you up.”

I could own my own business and I said, Dad, you got to hear this guy. He's having another meeting tomorrow night. Would you please go with me? I begged him. So he goes with me the next night.

We drive to a beautiful hotel near O'Hare Airport and he still wouldn't tell me what's going on and then we go on to the lower level, we go into the beautiful room and there's a lot of people in there.

And it wasn't until years later that I found out that I had a tension deficit disorder, which explains a lot. You know, it explains why I was bouncing around all the time.

My mom would make Indian fry bread and also wild rice soup, but we would sell venison fry bread sandwiches along with bowls of wild rice soup. I think attending Indian powwows with my mom where we would have this Indian Freibrit stand really taught me a lot about cooking, cooking outdoors, but also the appreciation for foods that are harvested naturally, being able to harvest wild rice, fishing, and all of those are experiences that I think throughout the years have always carried over to me.”

My mom was proud to be from the Lakuta Ray Reservation. And for us, that got carried over and that we ate Indian foods. My dad was very insistent that he had his foods from the south. My mom, when she was growing up, she did a lot of fishing and she harvested wild rice. And so throughout the years, my dad would always, what I almost call, make pilgrimages down to the south so he could get his banaha, which is a corn type of bread, you know, almost like a tamale wrapped up in corn husks. And then my mom would always take us fishing up north and we would”

I think growing up though, I always knew that my family was different because when all the other kids were going out for pizza and hot dogs, especially in Chicago being a great pizza town and Chicago hot dogs, my dad would load us up into the family car and we were headed down to the south side of Chicago for rib tips. And growing up, I knew every black-owned barbecue joint in Chicago. And I can remember as early as 1959 eating rib tips at Lem's barbecue of 59th at State Street.”

Didn't happen in Abraham Lincoln's day or George Washington's day, but this generation, my parents, I think that's a story that sometimes people in America never hear.”

“People came from far and wide for some of the best pit barbecue they ever had, and it wasn't in Texas Hill Country or eastern North Carolina, but rather in Hayward, Wisconsin, a town of twenty three hundred people in the northern reaches of the United States, where in January it can get down to minus seventeen degrees. This is where Dave Anderson, after years of trying out different business ideas, decided to open famous Dave's barbecue in nineteen ninety four. Today, famous Dave's about one hundred twenty five locations nationwide, making it one of the largest barbecue chains in the country. But the story of Dave's is also a story of how a simple passion for serving smoked ribs, chicken, and brisket can grow too big.”

“You know, one of my favorite parts of traveling is getting a feel for a neighborhood, the way locals do. A few summers ago, I was in Rome and stayed in an apartment I booked on Airbnb. It was tucked in a quiet neighborhood just outside the Roman forum. Every morning I'd walk to the corner cafe, grab an espresso, and just watch the world go by outside. I even managed to chat with the owner about the neighborhood he lived in for nearly forty years. And he got me thinking about my own neighborhood. There are incredible hiking trails and great restaurants and, of course, the beach. And when I'm traveling this summer, listing my own place on Airbnb could be a really smart way to let someone else experience the area the way I do, like a local. Listing your home on Airbnb while you're traveling is a great way to make some extra money. You could put the money toward your next trip. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much”
