Episode notes
This guest is proof that a person’s story isn’t defined by a bad moment, it’s defined by what they choose to do next.
Brian spent 15 years of his life, incarcerated.
Fifteen years of walls, routine, noise, and survival.
But instead of letting that time break him, he used it to rebuild himself.
Inside those walls, he discovered purpose and it came through the culinary arts. He earned a culinary arts degree, sharpened his craft, and walked out with a vision bigger than his circumstance.
Fast forward to today: he’s the owner of a healthy food truck that’s gaining serious traction, a line of fruit punch drinks people swear by, and his own seasonings that hit harder than most people’s comeback stories.
This is a conversation about resilience, reinvention, and refusing to let the world tell you who you are.
