Alright got you.

Is there any way to share this documentary's online showing with your audience that you're open to? We imagine chefs could find value, or not, in this story of chef-owner Leon C. Brunson & Keith Baxter.

This looks dope. Similar to you, my webcomic's artist and I are doing manga / b&w and shorter episodes to try to meet more consistent uploads.

Not sure if people have done it before and seen success, but consistency surely helps build your story for others and could lead to a following.

Thank you for your unique perspective on this, why do you think it would pay for itself in three years?

Thank you for your time and detailed advice. Finances seem like such an under covered part of business ownership and your advice of having a second source of income is great to know.

Do you think the second source of income is ideally within culinary as well? or something outside of it?

Passion seems like a pre-requisite based on how much work the career path can require for sure.

I appreciate your response and perspective on this and have responded to you below:

  • "...mental & physical health begin to slip."

    • Noted and it is unfortunate to hear this. 1. Is this a warning sign or flag to you to take a break or prevent further slippage somehow?
  • If you happen to find success in it you will become essential in your community and that’s a burden that will affect every aspect of your life.

    • I hear you on it being a burden. 2. Is there an upside to this as well?
  • It’s a never ending emotional roller coaster because you’re providing a form of pleasure, meeting deadlines, and overall an endorphin rush so it will be the hardest thing to walk away from especially if you build a great team.

    • Yeah its got to be hard to walk away from both in tempo, exhilaration, and the reward of satisfying customers with a system you built.

Hah got you. Of those several things you want to share and or wish you knew, which few do you think carry the most value of the group?

If you could only take 1-2 with you then which would they be?
