1. “Yeah, the idea was that it would be like a good Sunday dinner. Like if you go to church or you're just relaxing, you know, whatever it is that you do on a Sunday, but you typically have that good Sunday meal, that was my idea that I wanted to give people experiencing homelessness, dignity, and a really good meal. And so it was a mixture of like a good soulful dinner and old school music. So like the temptations, the Jackson 5, you know, Aretha Franklin, that was the mixture. And I would rent tables and chairs and linens and print out these menus that used to just be so funny. But I was letting people feel like they were at a restaurant, even though we were in an abandoned parking lot or behind a building.”

3. “Exactly And one of the days I said to one of my clients, and this is around Thanksgiving one year, and I'll never forget, I said, hey, you know, the people that are standing in line for a turkey in November are also hungry in October. This was not just a you're only hungry two or three times a year, you could find yourself experiencing hunger anytime during the year. And I think that my celebrity clients were just really focused on playing football, basketball, you know, being hip-hop stars, R&B legends. And it didn't really stick to them. And one day I was driving through downtown Atlanta, I drove through an area that was really highly populated with homeless populations. And I thought, you know what, I need to start doing something. And so I went home and I posted on Facebook.”

4. “I have been a full-time entrepreneur, which is crazy to think about, guy, for over a decade of my life. And I originally had this almost a consultancy where I was helping celebrities really define their giving blueprint, how they were going to use their star power for good. And I built hundreds of nonprofits and I would create all their programming, help them do their board training, finding their board members, creating all of their program descriptions and fundraising. And one of the things that started to become a really repeat cycle for me, I realized I was really busy around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and back to school. But other than that, Rest of the year, I was pretty much twiddling my thumbs.”
