From $65K Job to a $20M Hibachi Empire: Eddie’s Unstoppable Rise

Speaker 1 Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex.

Speaker 1 I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.
Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now.

Speaker 1 Hey guys, and welcome back to the level up podcast. This is Paul Alex, and today I have a special guest.
He's actually one of my good friends, Eddie.

Speaker 2 And Eddie is a 24 year old entrepreneur that just hit over 20 million dollars in revenue and it's gonna surprise you from what guys we're talking about catering we're talking about food trucks and a specialty niche that no one is doing in the online space or that i've heard of do this much money and revenue uh from this business hibachi guys so get ready here is eddie eddie what's up my man what's up guys how you doing eddie the rock star here it's been an honor to come to this podcast thank you for inviting me paul and um uh yeah we should get started uh let me tell you a little bit about myself yeah um i'm a 24 years old i came to the states in 2016 so which makes it a little over nine years now and uh i started here as a student i came here as an exchange student but uh there is a program called flex i was a student in high school uh

Speaker 2 And then I had a dream to become a software engineer.

Speaker 2 And, you know, how I come from from humble beginnings and like coming from Asian culture is like you always have to be at the top you always have that cousin that's always like getting those degrees doing all this and that and I wanted to kind of come here to pursue my dream my American dream which I thought would be software engineering but I didn't realize that my life would turn to this right now what I have going on because I was in college and doing this and that and right now I'm totally like different and I'm in business now and I thought that I would be doing a lot of things differently but now I'm here so Eddie let's go ahead and let's break it down for the audience right here guys Eddie he is a savage when it comes to business guys look Eddie came to the states United States only nine years ago okay nine years ago And now he's a multi-millionaire.

Speaker 1 Are you the bloodline breaker in your family?

Speaker 2 I'm the bloodline breaker. That's what I'm talking about, man.

Speaker 1 Hey, hey, hey, hey, that's what it's about, guys. Generational wealth.

Speaker 1 Going ahead and breaking it down and being that one leader that goes ahead and changes how your family is going to go for years to come. So, Eddie, where exactly did you immigrate from?

Speaker 1 Where did you migrate from?

Speaker 2 Yeah, so my country is a very small country of 6 million people. It's Central Asia.
It's called Kyrgyzstan.

Speaker 2 It's right next to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, all those stand-Asian countries. It's a little different than...

Speaker 2 the normal Asian countries that you might think of like China, Korea, and Japan. So it's a little different.
It's like our country is like 94% mountains, and like we're totally different.

Speaker 2 We're closer to the Caucasus than the actual, like...

Speaker 1 So it's like a rural area.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 It's amazing. And did you speak English coming into the United States?

Speaker 2 I spoke broken English. I knew a lot of the grammar because we would go to like English schools, like take all those classes, but like, no, I didn't speak any English.
Like, not like this.

Speaker 1 Wow, that's amazing, man.

Speaker 1 And then, okay, so you came nine years ago with the dream of becoming a software engineer uh did you always want to be a software engineer when you were a kid well that's the thing when i was a kid i was always like

Speaker 2 thinking of all these guys like uh steve jobs mark zuckerberg and i always wanted to be like like them for some reason and then software engineering is one of the paths that i wanted to take because like i'm good in like studying i was good in school i was always an a like straight a kid and uh i thought that would be the path for me and that's why i wanted to do something in the field of engineering.

Speaker 2 But then a little bit later when I came here, I realized that software engineering is the path to go for me and that's why I chose it.

Speaker 1 So then how much influence did your parents have on your decision of coming to America and then actually pursuing that?

Speaker 2 Well, it was...

Speaker 2 Well, my parents definitely had a lot of influence, but it was my grandma, my mom's mom that had, like, because she lives here.

Speaker 2 And then she lived here for a long time. And then she would come visit.
And when I was little, I grew up with her since I was, what, five or six years old. So I always like would miss her.

Speaker 2 And she would come visit every summer.

Speaker 2 And I was always like, I wanted to go with you to the States. But I didn't know what it was, like, what it meant to go to the States.
Because everybody would say, oh, go to America, go to America.

Speaker 2 I thought it was the same thing, just around the corner. I didn't realize it was so far from family.
And in 2015, my grandma came down. I was like, okay, I'm going to take you to school.

Speaker 2 You're going to come with me. And then

Speaker 2 next thing you know, I started doing all those exams, Toy Full, all those exams and then I started, like, I passed them with like flying honors and

Speaker 2 next year,

Speaker 2 I was already here. I was in Houston, Texas.
I lived there most of my American life and

Speaker 2 that's how it all started. My grandma was the number one influence that I had.

Speaker 1 to come here. I love that, man, because, you know, when we met, and if you guys don't know, we met actually through a mentorship.
One of our mentors is is Andy Elliott.

Speaker 1 He's one of the best sales coaches in the industry right now. And we met at one of the like after parties after the conference.
And then we got to know each other, you know?

Speaker 1 And, you know, I'm all about synergy, right? Energy and good people and people that like know and what they're the best at what they do, guys. So when I met Eddie, I was so impressed.

Speaker 1 I was so impressed because look, look, just think about your story, dude, how powerful it is. You were from another country.
Your grandma that came from the

Speaker 1 came and inspired you, gave you the vision, and was just like, Eddie, you could do so much more. You're a smart kid, right?

Speaker 1 Otherwise, if your grandma didn't have that influence on you, what do you think you'd be doing back in your country, dude?

Speaker 2 Well, I would probably still be there because if it wasn't for my grandma, like forcing, like literally forcing my parents to let me go,

Speaker 2 I would probably be there, but I do think that I would still be doing some some really good things there because I always had the vision of, you know, succeeding. I was always like around that and

Speaker 2 one of the biggest factors of me having that mindset was my uncle he was always in the business and like doing this and that and that's my mom's younger brother and I spent a lot of time with my grandma and my grandma would come stay at my uncle's house and I would always see him on like business calls business meetings

Speaker 2 At one point he used to own the biggest

Speaker 2 company that would manufacture suits like in Kurdistan. And

Speaker 2 my country is huge. And it's like having that as your first mentor, uncle, Alex, and

Speaker 2 having him like that, that influence was huge on me because I always had that, I would say, the entrepreneurship mindset, but I didn't realize that until I came here because all I had in my mind was study, study, study, get a degree,

Speaker 2 get a job.

Speaker 2 And just go to the office, do this and that. And I, there's nothing wrong with that.
And but now that I came here, I've saw a lot of people doing a lot of different things.

Speaker 2 It's like here in America, it's like land of opportunities, capitalism is great, and everybody can succeed because we don't have that back home. And like, a lot of people don't realize that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, people that were born here, people that live here, they don't realize how lucky they are to you know to have that.

Speaker 2 For us, it's like a dream just to come to America, make like a few bucks, and then go back home.

Speaker 2 But now that I'm here, making a little more than a few bucks, and like I want to be here, I want to grow here in America, I want to have my kids here to experience all this and to go through this all again because

Speaker 2 I want to help

Speaker 2 some people like me because there's a lot of people coming in here with the similar background that I have and like a lot of immigrants are very smart and bright, but they don't have that person to kind of like show them, hey look, I did this, you can do this too.

Speaker 2 Because like

Speaker 2 let's be real, people coming in here don't have

Speaker 2 like school degree like they always want to be like engineers and this and that but there's a lot more than that that because you can also use the degree to kind of capitalize on like a lot of different markets so I would say that

Speaker 1 we're a little off topic now but Monkle was yeah Munkle was one of the biggest influences in having this mindset for me I love that man I love that so you leveraged not only your your wits but your smarts and then okay let's get to the point of your story So you go to college, you get your degree.

Speaker 1 What happened next? Like, where was the transition where you were like you know what i'm gonna try entrepreneurship yeah

Speaker 2 so the story is actually very wild because while i was in my junior year in college at the university of houston um like i was always like a part-time server part-time chef and um at one point you know uh covet happened and when i was a server the restaurant kind of closed down for a month but it being in texas like we reopened back like right away to like different states and we were doing like to-go orders and they were down a chef and I kind of seen everything

Speaker 2 on how to cook and I like to cook myself and I was like okay Japanese food is kind of easy to cook on a grill I just have to learn all the sauces and stuff so I went in to like train and after a week next thing you know I started becoming a chef like as a

Speaker 2 sous chef to the head chef that we had at the location and

Speaker 2 I ate all working part-time and with COVID there my school was online. So I started working full-time.
And

Speaker 2 next thing you know, it's like I'm already cooking up. I'm

Speaker 2 became a really good chef, which I didn't think because

Speaker 2 I had no idea that I would be a chef like that.

Speaker 1 And Eddie, before we get deeper into the story, what year was this?

Speaker 2 It was right when COVID happened. So 2019,

Speaker 2 2020, yeah. Okay.

Speaker 1 2019, 2020, man.

Speaker 1 I remember COVID, you know, I was coming back from Egypt with a good friend. And I I remember my mom calling me and she, I'm on the plane, dude, coming back to California.

Speaker 1 She's like, Mijo, she's like, hurry up. There's a virus.
They're about to shut down, you know, everybody coming into the United States. And I didn't believe it.
And then, no shitting you, dude.

Speaker 1 Two days as I get into the States, boom, they shut the boards, bro.

Speaker 2 And I was just like, whoa, what happened, bro?

Speaker 1 You know, and it changed the world. Right? So let me ask you, man, how hard is it to be a chef?

Speaker 2 Well, it is. Because it's an art.
It's an art. Definitely.
It's an art. Yeah, it's definitely hard to be a chef.
But if you know your stuff, if you're doing everything...

Speaker 2 Because like, you don't have to invent anything because everything has already been like reinvented and you just have to follow the procedures and you keep everything clean.

Speaker 2 And well, it's also like, I would say it's hard, but it's also easy. Like, so it's like from which perspective you look at.
If you're already a chef, if you know what you're doing, then it's...

Speaker 2 it's easy and it's your lifestyle and that's how I started.

Speaker 2 But if you're not a chef, i was like oh i can't ever be a chef it's hard like you have to learn all these things but no anybody can become a chef with proper training wow how much are chefs making right now just based on your experience yeah well the chefs at restaurants they're not making much for sure it's like uh and

Speaker 2 i'm basing all this on like hibachi chefs because i'm not sure what the other chefs are making but hibachi chefs are making about four to five to six grand depending where they are if they're in california they're making seven eight grand but this is a month this is a month and um and this is

Speaker 2 the chefs will work at restaurants and they're very seasonal because restaurants are very seasonal and

Speaker 2 they get laid out when it comes like to January that's it nobody has a job only the head chefs stay but with us it's like our chefs we we always in season well we are in and I'm sure we'll get into it a little later but we're in 33 cities right now and

Speaker 2 if it's not like a good season in one city it's definitely a great season in another so we always have those opportunities for our chefs.

Speaker 2 And our chefs are making anywhere from a minimum of five, six grand to

Speaker 2 $12, $15,000 a month if you're a head chef.

Speaker 1 And that's a lot. I love that.
I love that, man. I would like to call your business concept a floating asset.

Speaker 2 Floating asset. Use that.

Speaker 1 It's a floating asset opportunity, guys. Let's go.
Okay, cool. So, you went ahead and you started as a chef.
And then what happened next?

Speaker 2 So I started as a chef and while I was in school I was like, you know, always trying to juggle both school and my full-time job.

Speaker 2 But then I realized that, you know, there's a lot of opportunities in becoming a chef. I can do my own thing.

Speaker 2 But I quite didn't have the idea yet because like I always wanted to have somebody, like something like a restaurant, but...

Speaker 2 like I knew that it's not profitable if you like don't know your stuff and uh

Speaker 2 uh but I was just a chef and then it comes my senior year I graduate and I was still like looking for a job as a computer scientist and I was looking at it and I found a job as a software developer engineering test um I got the job it was like 65 grand a year and I was like okay I made it but then I so let me ask you Eddie you get hired for that job at $65,000 after you graduated you know and what do you think you're like dude this is a lot of money yeah that's what i thought like this is a lot of money But then I gave my first paycheck, all the taxes, social security, Medicare.

Speaker 2 Yeah. I get this is not much.
I'm making the same thing at a restaurant. I was like, okay, what am I doing next? And then I was like, okay, I have to do something.
And then at the same time,

Speaker 2 the restaurant that I used to work for, they started doing catering events, like private events, like the chef would bring a grill to your house. do those events.
I was like, okay, that sounds fun.

Speaker 2 And they started doing it in a couple cities. They started doing Houston, Austin, and in Dallas.
I was like, that's very interesting. You can definitely scale that.

Speaker 2 And I started learning more about it, how they do it. And I transitioned from a restaurant to becoming a private chef.

Speaker 2 And I realized that this could be scaled to every city in America. How come nobody's doing it? And the company that I used to work for, they're owned by two Chinese guys.

Speaker 2 And I came to them, like, okay, guys, I'm going to help you do this.

Speaker 2 Let's grow together. I can grow this.
And they just laughed at me. Like, you're only 22, 23 years old.

Speaker 2 You you coming at us like saying all this all that okay and I told them okay give me a couple months I'm gonna show you so I grew and I moved to Austin I quit my job I moved to Austin my job being my software engineering job and then I moved to Austin I opened up like the location was already there but they weren't doing much and I started doing all the marketing and I was always had interest in like Instagram marketing Facebook TikTok marketing and at that time social media was like the ads were doing a lot better than than now.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 oh, yeah, yeah, because

Speaker 2 that was the gold rush, dude.

Speaker 1 I mean, you're talking about like during COVID and even like a couple years after COVID, everybody got so used to being at home, watching their you know, their phone and all that jazz.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and having a chef come to your house was huge because nobody goes to restaurants at that time, and

Speaker 2 we would wear masks, like six feet, um, all that stuff. But the best part was the cooking was outdoors, so like there were like zero

Speaker 2 like scare of like you know a catchy covet or whatever and uh

Speaker 2 and i started doing that and we quickly grew to a team of 10 people and i was like okay let me expand to those other cities that you have i was like okay no we already have partners there i was like i'm not a partner i'm just trying to help you guys grow and they started like shutting me down it's like okay we know what we're doing and they started copying what i do and it opening up in new different cities i was like okay let me become a partner we're gonna grow together and next thing you know they were like no you like you're not gonna become a partner you just chef and then i was kind of sad at that time i didn't know what to do because uh i had some money to start my own company uh like i said my uncle alex that was in uh my country he also was here uh doing a lot of his uh businesses here as well and then

Speaker 2 i came to him and was like hey what should i do he was like you should start your own thing i can fund this and i was like okay cool yeah and then put you to the limit that's what i'm talking about, dude.

Speaker 2 I gave my guys

Speaker 2 one to two months of like notice that I'm leaving. I'm going to do my own thing.
I warned them, I'm going to start this. I'm going to be your competitor.
And they started laughing.

Speaker 2 I was like, okay, dude, you actually told your bosses.

Speaker 1 You're like, hey, bro, you don't want to make me a partner. So I got an investor.
I'm about to start a company against you. And I'm letting you know.
a month or two ahead. Yep.

Speaker 2 That's what I told them, literally. That's what I said.
And they didn't take me seriously. Yeah.
They didn't think you could do it. They didn't think I could do it.

Speaker 2 They didn't think I could become their partner. Dude, were they hating?

Speaker 2 No, like they were cool, but they were like

Speaker 2 passive aggressive. They were passive aggressive and they were like in their 40s and 50s.
So they had a different mindset than me.

Speaker 1 Of course.

Speaker 2 But like

Speaker 2 they owned like a couple restaurants, so they were like pretty well off. And that company was just like extra source of income.
They didn't want to invest.

Speaker 2 And the main factor was the investment part. They didn't want to invest to open in like many different states because they thought it was too risky with COVID and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 But I had like COVID was the single best thing that ever happened to this business because this

Speaker 2 business model wouldn't exist without COVID because there was no such thing as a private hibachi event before COVID. And like Japanese food is a staple in America.

Speaker 2 And I've been here for about 70 years and like everybody knows of Benihana. Everybody knows the hibachi tricks.

Speaker 1 We all love it, bro. We all love Japanese food, trust me.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so

Speaker 2 it's definitely a good thing for the business. And next thing you know,

Speaker 2 I moved to Phoenix. I moved to Arizona.
And the reason I moved to Arizona, because they were already big in Texas. So I wasn't going to compete with them in Texas.
I moved to Arizona. I started...

Speaker 1 Why Arizona out of every state?

Speaker 2 Because it was warm. Like, it was like a year-round city.
And like...

Speaker 2 Like even during the summer, you can cook like just fine. And just as long as you're out of the sun, for sure.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 But Arizona was it's also one of the biggest cities by population in America is like fifth or something and that was one of the factors it was either that or LA and LA was a little too risky because of the regulations at that time and so we started California,

Speaker 2 but Arizona was a perfect middle between Texas and California. It's like I moved to Arizona and I felt like I was in Texas still,

Speaker 2 which was great. And

Speaker 2 I started there with a couple of my guys

Speaker 2 some of the guys that I hired for for that company they used to work for them still and then once I opened my company they were like I want to come work for you I was like okay I'm gonna pay you a little more because you're coming in from the beginning and you're gonna be like minority partners in some cities if you save up some money but at that time there's like no company it's like it's just me and a couple guys just like starting this we just have all those permits and LLC that's it that's all I have to my name and um

Speaker 2 you know, I had a good chunk of investment money. And I started with about 50 to 60 grand, which was a lot of money for catering.
And I ended up using a lot of it just to get big in Arizona.

Speaker 2 I partnered up with the biggest influencers there.

Speaker 1 So you spent the majority of the budget, the $50,000, $60,000 you had on marketing?

Speaker 2 On marketing.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm talking about. Marketing.

Speaker 2 That's what it is.

Speaker 1 Everything.

Speaker 2 Everything. Everything.
Everything.

Speaker 1 I always tell people these three things, Eddie. Look, the three main pillars you guys need in any business, it doesn't matter what people do, okay?

Speaker 1 You could be in real estate, you could be a plumber, you could be an electrician, which is big right now. Those businesses are huge right now because all the boomers are leaving, right?

Speaker 1 So, you need new operators, all you college kids out there, to go ahead and take over those businesses.

Speaker 1 But here's the thing: majority of those boomers, dude, remember your ex-partners or your ex-bosses,

Speaker 2 dude. They're boomers.

Speaker 1 They didn't think, hey, dude, let's pivot to social media and market the out of our business and then expand dude everybody has a phone yeah everybody

Speaker 1 has a phone you know you can get in front of people but you got to be smart dude that was a great move bro that was solid yeah and

Speaker 2 that was the best thing that i've ever done because if you look at it that was a big risk because if it doesn't pay off i'm out of money yeah and but The good thing is I had a backup.

Speaker 2 I had Monko like I'm gonna give you more if it doesn't work out. Yeah, and But he told me to make it work, like, he literally told me, You gotta work, yeah, you gotta work, you gotta work, yes.

Speaker 2 And uh, next thing you know, we started partying with all those companies, started hiring a lot more chefs.

Speaker 2 And in the next couple of months, we opened up in Texas because we realized, why wait, we can just open up if the business is not going well, we can always close down.

Speaker 2 It's like, and it takes like about four weeks to get all the papers done, which is easy. For catering, it's a lot different than having a restaurant because we don't have a brick and mortar location.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 basically, we opened up in like in less than five months we opened up 10 15 cities

Speaker 2 and in five states and we started growing from there and

Speaker 2 they saw like my ex-bosses they saw the growth that we had and they started investing in their uh business like in their kidding they hired some young kid and um

Speaker 2 to do that it was probably their like relative or something I never seen the guy to do the marketing to do the marketing to to expand to hire chefs and but like a lot of their chefs were from restaurants.

Speaker 2 It's like

Speaker 2 when you just get started, the main problem with the Hibachi catering service is you don't have a constant flow of parties of events and so your chefs don't get paid. Got it.

Speaker 2 And those chefs would work at restaurants and then call in sick when they have events. But

Speaker 2 it wasn't sustainable at all.

Speaker 2 With our chefs is I hire anybody, but most of our chefs were like younger guys,

Speaker 2 a little older than than me a couple years they were hungry yeah they were hungry they were all working and uh they were all immigrants so and they always wanted to come here and they started as chefs at restaurants like the first 15 chefs they were like full-time restaurant chefs and I told them if you come work for me believe me we're gonna make a lot so and I would pay their salary from my own pocket like even if they don't have events I would still pay them yeah and took care of your people yeah I took care of my people they took care of me and that's how we were able to compete with everybody else else with them because those guys my ex company was a lot bigger at that time and they had a lot more chefs and uh

Speaker 2 now we have a lot more chefs than them they're also in a couple cities and uh but we are in over 30 cities right now in 15 states and let we open August of 2023 and it's a little over a year now So so Eddie,

Speaker 1 let me stop you right there before we keep going ahead because this is exciting stuff, dude.

Speaker 1 This is very inspiring, especially you know i know a lot of my friends a lot of my family members i know a lot of uh my network is gonna watch this they're gonna be like dude we need to meet eddie eddie the rock star it's like yeah but um no dude so okay

Speaker 1 how many employees did you have

Speaker 1 before you hit your first mill before i hit my first mill or when you hit that one mill like how many operators did you have with you about 20 to 25.

Speaker 2 dude that's amazing

Speaker 1 i like to call that lean and mean.

Speaker 2 Lean and mean, yeah. Which is good.

Speaker 1 That's how you're built. You know, and one thing that, you know, I can relate to you, bro, is that you build a culture.
You build a vision and you lead by example.

Speaker 1 You know, you took care of your people, even though there was no income coming in.

Speaker 1 Majority of new business owners, you know, they get the million dollars. Everybody's like, oh my God, million dollars.
And what do a lot of the younger business owners do nowadays?

Speaker 1 They end up taking the profit and spending it on stupid shit, right? And that's how you run out of business the fastest way, guys. Don't do that.
And reinvest in your business. Like Eddie, okay?

Speaker 1 And then you can scale up to 20 million.

Speaker 1 So, okay, cool. All right.
So you went ahead, you had, you're inspiring these

Speaker 1 operators and you're making them minority partners. How does that look like?

Speaker 1 So let's say,

Speaker 1 you know, I see you on Instagram, okay? And I'm like, hey, dude, I just graduated from culinary school. I'm hungry.
I'm young. I'm like 20, 21.

Speaker 1 I want to be a minority operator. How would that look like?

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 it looks a lot different now than it used to back then. Yeah.
Because we were just getting started. We didn't even have a structure.

Speaker 2 We were just getting started. And right now that we already have the structure, we already have everything, it's a lot harder to become that partner in the company.

Speaker 2 And most of the partners that are becoming partners now are

Speaker 2 the chefs that used to work with us for a long time

Speaker 2 since the beginning.

Speaker 2 But what it looks like is they come work for me and

Speaker 2 they show that they can handle the pressure they can handle being a team leader having like sharing the vision

Speaker 2 it's definitely a must because

Speaker 2 in the company we have the culture of like we work for the vision we don't work for money we we we look at it we look at the end goal and money is just a side effect of doing things right

Speaker 2 and that's how we look at it but some people coming in they only want to make you know a quick cash and they just go do their own thing which is okay they always also make me money by like working but those guys that are that end up staying and and

Speaker 2 becoming partners they definitely have to share the vision it's like we're a growing company we're only it's our second year now second full year and

Speaker 2 now that

Speaker 2 Now that we're we are kind of established and we have that social media presence We have the presence in the catering industry because nobody else does this like this.

Speaker 2 There's a lot of different companies that you know would do like similar things, but they don't take it seriously like us.

Speaker 2 Because I know those guys that started those companies and they're doing pretty well for themselves. They're making money, but their chefs are not making money.
Their company is not growing.

Speaker 2 It's not going to be sustainable for a long time. Whereas, of course, in my company, I'm making money, but

Speaker 2 so is everybody else. Everybody else is getting the share that they work for.
And I I think that's the best part about the culture that we have: everybody's growing.

Speaker 2 And if they want to invest money in the company, they open up a new city. For example, if you just graduated from a culinary school, you come in, like, okay, I don't want to come work for you.

Speaker 2 You work for me for a few months, you show that you actually mean it, and then you want to become a partner. Then we have the talks of like opening up a city.

Speaker 2 For example, we're not in like Seattle, you want to move to Seattle and have our franchise there. Right now it comes with a food truck.
I mean any new city we open it comes with a food truck.

Speaker 2 So you invest a certain amount of money. The most that I allow my partners to become

Speaker 2 to get is like 30%.

Speaker 2 But the minimum is like you can get it as a little less 5%, 10% and just work. But it's gonna be worth it if you go like a little more and

Speaker 2 and every city is a priced a little different because of the market research of nearby cities.

Speaker 2 For example, we weren't in Vegas for a long time, but we were in in LA we were in Phoenix we're in Salt Lake City and then Vegas was like booming we like our chefs would drive from Phoenix to Vegas for events so we opened up Vegas and one of the chefs that would actually like drive five hours for an event he wouldn't even ask for gas money because he wanted to become partner there and I was like no you can't do that dude and I would still pay for him for gas but it's like

Speaker 2 he would do it from like from his heart like he was like I want to help the company grow it's passionate yeah it's passionate and I was like, okay, you want to become partner He didn't even say anything and I Actually was the one to offer him that was like you already go in there a lot, but you want to become partners.

Speaker 2 Okay, let's do it and he had a lot of family members

Speaker 2 young hungry guys that wanted to make some money and they came in for training and a couple months of training they started Becoming chefs and now Vegas is one of our biggest locations.

Speaker 1 I love that. I love that.
Yeah, dude. I mean Vegas is such a hub because you have like a lot of tourists coming in there.

Speaker 1 I mean we're just talking about the ClickFunnels event with Russell Brunson, dude. There's going to be literally like over 10,000 marketers there, business owners, all that stuff.

Speaker 1 And all these people, they all make money, right? So at the end of the day, it's a big, big, big area to go ahead and invest to.

Speaker 1 You have

Speaker 1 anybody in Miami?

Speaker 2 We have a lot of people in Miami.

Speaker 2 I love that.

Speaker 2 Miami is also one of our biggest locations because of all the tourism, all the dash parties.

Speaker 2 I think so, dude. Yeah, we.

Speaker 2 And not only in Miami, we're in Sarasota, we're in Key West, we're in Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville. So we're just took over Florida.

Speaker 1 I love that. I love that.
Okay, so.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 1 So you went ahead, your business is now booming, okay?

Speaker 1 What are you focusing on now, dude?

Speaker 1 I know that when we talked to you at Andy's event, you were like, hey, dude, you know, I'm thinking of getting into food trucks and then start building them and like, you know, putting them out there.

Speaker 1 So talk about that right now. You transitioned from hibachi and now you're just stacking more businesses.
So let's talk about the food truck industry.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so we

Speaker 2 with going to Andy's events is like and also going to the vault for a PBD

Speaker 2 one of the

Speaker 2 one of the best things that he talked about that stood out with me was just adding on to your business.

Speaker 2 I'm not sure if you were there, but he had like a diagram of all his businesses. They're like, they're all connected.
They all bring some kind of profit to one another.

Speaker 2 And I realized i can do the same thing and having restaurants is good but it's not very profitable right now but having food trucks is like you generate almost the same revenue by not having the same investment so i thought about it and last year we started our first food truck in phoenix uh last year in april and it wasn't very well at the beginning because it was hard like we didn't know what to do and it was very hot as well in Phoenix and uh so um we started and then after a few months we kind of like knew what to do we kind of got the hang of it and we started like doing a lot of sales our like first real month was about 50 60 grand we thought it was it was really nice wow and we net about 30 of that no restaurant nets 30 of their revenue dude no no restaurants are usually what like underneath 10 underneath 10 yeah one to ten percent is like the the revenue like the net that they get from the revenue and it and it's very sad yeah because you work hard yeah you work hard

Speaker 2 you invest a lot of money and you get less than 10 and it's like okay it's bullshit yeah

Speaker 2 but food trucks was one of the best things that we ever thought of and then we opened up in dallas and we kind of slowed down on that because we didn't know like how it would work out and it started working out great and now we're in february We have eight trucks now.

Speaker 2 We have two in Phoenix, two in Dallas, we have Austin, Orlando, Miami, Houston, and we're opening opening up a lot more and rolling out at least one or two food trucks a month to come in those cities because we already have a lot of existing cities and that need food trucks and getting into that was huge and

Speaker 2 that revenue that $20 million was solely from catering. It was from private events and now looking into this year, private events...
It's also going to be good.

Speaker 2 It's also going to do a lot of revenue, but food trucks definitely going to add a lot. Yeah, it's definitely going to grow like that.

Speaker 2 what are you projecting we're projecting well that's it all it depends on how many we have more but from what we have right now we're at least gonna double in revenue this year

Speaker 1 so i love that so you're looking at a 40 50 million dollar 450 million a year and

Speaker 2 which is huge for us because we're only like second year in business yeah and we're still learning a lot and i can't wait till like our third and fourth year because by that time we're gonna be the sharks in the business yeah right now we're baby sharks we're learning we're learning from everybody taking in all the advice.

Speaker 2 But right now I'm only 24 and I'm going to turn to 25 in a couple months. It's like, what is next for us? Because

Speaker 2 when we go to all these events, everybody's a lot older than me.

Speaker 2 And they're at least in their 30s, like early 40s. And they already made it in life.
And

Speaker 2 everybody is like...

Speaker 2 already successful at that period of time, but I still have 15 years on those guys. Yeah, you do.

Speaker 2 So I still have a lot of room to go.

Speaker 1 No, you have a lot of room to grow, dude. And you're just going to grow and grow and grow.
And you're going to be massive, dude.

Speaker 1 Like, I can even see, I can't even see your guys' business, like, demolishing Benny Hana.

Speaker 2 I mean, let's be real. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 It's time. It's time.

Speaker 1 But, okay, so let me ask you. So for like investors or anybody watching right now, let's say they're like, dude, this is super inspiring.
I want to work with Eddie the Rockstar.

Speaker 1 Like, is the investment to invest in one of your franchises?

Speaker 2 I know you talked shortly about like the hibachi business but is the food truck business a different investment yes it's totally different so if you invest in a food truck we have a couple different investment options if you want to become a silent investor just you know just invest your money park your money in a food truck and um do that that's also good but we also have the investment opportunities for chefs that want to come work and own their food truck and they would own some share of that franchise and we would all share the profit and but we would be helping with all the marketing, with all the paperwork, and everything.

Speaker 2 We would be the ones to take care of that. It's like a turnkey business.

Speaker 2 Basically, you're coming in, you invest your money, but you have to know, you have to go through like rigorous training, you have to because, like, working in a restaurant and working in a food truck is totally different.

Speaker 2 It's very similar in a lot of ways, but there's a lot of factors they need to take in. And food trucks are a lot harder to run than a restaurant.
And there's a lot of regulations they have to follow.

Speaker 2 Because once you get

Speaker 2 Caught with not following like regulations, you get shut down.

Speaker 2 You can not open under the same

Speaker 2 entity in that city anymore. And that's why you have to, if you do decide to work with somebody like that, because there's a lot of different opportunities

Speaker 2 for investment in like different companies other than us, but you have to choose to work with the right people that know what they're doing.

Speaker 2 the ones that take care of all the compliance part is like it's huge yeah because once we grow to this amount it's like because we grew very quickly it was literally like vertical growth and like we didn't take care of a lot of things and we made our mistakes but the best part about it is we learn from them now that a lot of things we're doing is like totally different and

Speaker 2 we're always looking for new partners new

Speaker 1 like even if you don't have money you can come work for us make money and then become partner so it's like i love that i love that that's that's a massive opportunity man i mean you know the the fact that you're you're giving someone who doesn't know anything about business an opportunity to come work with you, to learn from you, which to be honest, guys, I think that is the biggest key takeaway here.

Speaker 1 If you're listening on Apple, Spotify, or you're watching this on YouTube, the biggest key takeaway is it's not the money when you initially start in business.

Speaker 1 It's actually that mental assets that you consume. Just like you said, dude, you guys are baby sharks.

Speaker 1 You guys are consuming everybody from the different entrepreneurs and networks that you're in right now. Everybody that's like my age or in their 40s, and dude, you're going to be a beast.

Speaker 1 I mean, you're already a beast, but like, we're talking about nine figures, like killing the game, bro.

Speaker 1 So, um, I don't know if it's okay if we could talk about like what would be the range for like a silent investor? Uh, is that is that something that we could talk about?

Speaker 2 Yeah, for sure, we can definitely talk about that.

Speaker 1 Okay, and um, so so somebody right now, let's say um, somebody is doing good money, they're like, dude, I want to park my money somewhere where it grows.

Speaker 1 And with somebody like you who knows what they're doing, um, what would a silent investor invest uh investment look like for a food truck yeah uh so we do a lot of different investments and

Speaker 2 starting from 50 grand and up and we even had some southern investors that invested uh seven figures in the business and they're generating uh passive cash flow and uh which is good for them because they're already like succeeding in life and they're not worried about this but if you believe in the company if you believe in like what you invest in you're definitely like

Speaker 2 we we have a lot of opportunities so

Speaker 2 something basic we'll be looking at is about let's say a hundred thousand dollars you invest a hundred thousand dollars you can expect um ten to fifteen percent of that a year while still having that equity in the business and

Speaker 2 but as of right now we're like shifting to it's like we have a lot of cash flow and we don't really need silent investors unless it's somebody that can bring value to the company my man yeah yeah so that's what like we're shifting towards to because you have to yeah because our biggest problem right now is the people to run the businesses to run the food trucks to run all the cities and that's been the biggest struggle with having the right personnel having the right people uh that could do that so and if you have the money it's good but if you also want to come make money because like you're gonna make a lot more if you're like if you're actually active in the business in the business exactly you're gonna make a lot more you're gonna learn a lot and i would say the biggest takeaway for all the investors that I have is the mindset, like the mindset like the mindset shift because they're coming in like a lot of the chefs.

Speaker 2 They don't know much about business. They only know how to cook.
But that's good. That means you can learn.
It's never too late. And it's easier.
Yeah, it's easier.

Speaker 1 It's easier to learn than have somebody that came from an existing business that probably didn't know what they were doing or probably failed. And they bring those bad habits.
They absorb everything

Speaker 2 because you're the expert.

Speaker 1 Dude, that's awesome dude you know we might have to talk after this

Speaker 1 but but no i i totally get it and you know in business man i mean this is uh for me like uh having uh able to employ you know uh gratefully uh over 200 people in the past four years is that you know one thing that i learned is it's it's hard to find people that are passionate you know you want to be able to find and groom people and basically make them a copy of you exactly right

Speaker 1 and have the same heart culture drive passion because at the end of the day what grows the business conviction dude

Speaker 1 conviction you know you gotta be like we're the best and we're like but nobody knows you but we're still the best right and that's just the way it goes dude so let me ask you man um okay so hibachi

Speaker 1 to uh food trucks catering and i know we you you were like dude i'm starting to invest in real estate so Why and like you got all these booming business, bro. Why real estate?

Speaker 2 Because

Speaker 2 it's also connected to my business to catering to the food trucks. And let's talk about it.
And I always want to like,

Speaker 2 if I put my money in something and if I put my time into something, I want to make sure that it benefits my other businesses as well.

Speaker 2 So like I said, we have over 100 people working for me right now and they need housing.

Speaker 2 So it's basically like they pay rent, but they don't pay rent in a way like if the house is like $2,000, they pay only some part of it.

Speaker 2 It's like another way of me like giving back to my people people and

Speaker 2 they save money and but also make me money, which is good. And like

Speaker 2 by owning those houses, I can like eliminate a lot of the cost that I already have.

Speaker 2 For example, if I would rent a house, if they would rent a house like a five-bedroom house for five people, it would be like $3,000 in Arizona.

Speaker 2 But if I would own the property, the monthly payment would be half that and that would save them all the money Like,

Speaker 2 nobody can find a house for like $1,500, like a five-bedroom house,

Speaker 2 which also has all the nice things and the features, but it's like,

Speaker 2 how do you say? Like,

Speaker 2 it helps my business because it also grows and it saves them money. So, it's like integrating all that into the hibachi business because all of our chefs need housing in different states.

Speaker 2 And my goal is to have at least one house in 33 cities that are already in because they're already making money. They're paying rent anyway.

Speaker 2 So why not just own those houses and just own the property just like McDonald's? It's like, you know what they're doing. It's like they're making all the money from real estate from all those guys.

Speaker 1 Because they're renting it out to the franchise.

Speaker 2 Exactly. And that's what we can do.
That's what I'm trying to do right now. I'm invested in five cities right now.
I own five houses, one here in Fort Lauderdale.

Speaker 2 which is good. And like, it's also like going up in value.
And hopefully it's going to keep doing that.

Speaker 2 but i'm not very like my a focus is in the catering and in hibachi yeah whereas like buying a house was very simple but also like i'm not trying to go heavy in the housing business just yet like because hey don't want to

Speaker 1 make sure you know like i don't want to make sure that my focus stays where it's at right now and we keep growing because that's the main source of revenue and that's and that's a smart move man because with a lot of beginner entrepreneurs uh dude i've legit ever since joining uh you know the digital space back in 2020 myself, I've talked to hundreds of thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs, clients, my network, great entrepreneurs like you, dude.

Speaker 1 And the number one thing, the number one mistake that I see with beginner entrepreneurs, which you're pretty squared away, like you're very knowledgeable, bro, is the fact that you are focusing on your main source of income.

Speaker 1 Majority of people, once they get a little bit of money, they end up going ahead and diversifying and then forgetting that they need to focus on the main bread and butter exactly you know it happened to me last year dude i i was running uh two eight figure companies i was running a high six figure company and dude i was lost in the sauce bro like i was depressed i was like why am i getting older like i was just like damn like what's going on right but in the outside right social media world uh everybody my friends are like oh this guy's super successful he's able to handle it

Speaker 1 but i'm like dude no like no dude this is like i feel like yeah so so it's great dude you're investing in real estate but you're doing it to help your team which is phenomenal because I know now that you're helping them with housing one of the biggest needle movers for me back in 2021 I actually my first two employees that I had hired for one of my eight-figure companies I told them I was like I had a penthouse in San Diego I was like hey guys like I got five bedrooms like why don't you just come stay with me and they were like okay so those guys they ended up being the best best employees I've ever had, dude.

Speaker 1 One of them

Speaker 1 helped me grow the two eight-figure businesses and now it's traveling the world, dude. Like, he's in Africa.
He's going to go to Dubai. He's going to go ahead and travel to Colombia.

Speaker 1 But now he's building his own business. And he's just like, dude, like, this is amazing.
Thank you. And then the other guy, he started a sales agency.
And he was like, he came from Vietnam.

Speaker 1 He was 20 years old. Now he's 24.
But he's like

Speaker 1 my CRO, my chief revenue officer for one of my companies. And he's going to ham, dude.
He's living life.

Speaker 1 And that's what what it's about dude it's all about your people your people man you got to invest in your people the culture everything i love that man so cool so you're investing in real estate but it's not to go ahead and make rental income it's more to help your business by providing that to your employees exactly and like

Speaker 2 i'm not like really looking for that revenue from because it's not much it's like it's more about having those people stay somewhere nice having those people with no problems from like landlords and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 Like I would be their landlord, but I'm not making any money from them. They're just making minimum payments to the house, which is good for me, but also good for them.
So, it's good for everybody.

Speaker 2 It's a win-win. And that's what I strive for.
And,

Speaker 2 like I said, I'm not looking to diversify what I do right now because I don't see a point in that. I see the vision that I have for the company is at least $100 million.

Speaker 2 And we're trying to grow it to a point like that. And

Speaker 2 talking with PBD, and he has a guy, his name's Aaron and he's a very smart guy he's a little older than me and but I talk to him a lot and

Speaker 2 there's like the vision that those guys have it's and it's also at the Elliott group I Bryson is my guy he they have that vision for my company it's like I didn't have that vision until I met them Because like I was thinking, if it can do 20 million, which is great, that's it.

Speaker 2 That's like the ceiling for me. But no, right now

Speaker 1 it's not even the bottom anymore because yeah it's like we have a lot of room to grow and like the if we do everything right it's gonna be hundred million dollar company in a couple years brother you know majority of business new businesses majority of them they end up failing within like one to three years dude dude you you are an outlier you you like defeated the odds and like all the haters your previous um you know uh bosses that were like nah like

Speaker 2 chef bro you just went ah boom like you're like you know, get out of here.

Speaker 1 You know, I'm dominating. And that's awesome.
Now that you told us your secrets, bro, you gave us a secret sauce.

Speaker 1 Let's talk to our audience, man. So anybody watching this right now, I mean, you're a young guy, dude.
You came nine years ago, bro. So when you were like, what, 15?

Speaker 2 I was 15, 16 years old.

Speaker 1 Yeah, dude, 15, 16 years old. And you came in there.
You're like, dude, I'm going to go to college. I'm going to basically live the old school American dream.

Speaker 2 That's what I like to call it. Old school American dream.
Old school American dream.

Speaker 1 But you're living the new American dream, bro.

Speaker 1 You know, you're your own boss, you're young, you're killing it, and you have that vision of creating a nine-figure business, and you're, dude, you're getting mentored by nine-figure entrepreneurs.

Speaker 2 What more do you want?

Speaker 1 So, for anybody watching right now, that is possibly, like, let's say in high school, college, they're trying to figure out their life, maybe they're in a rut, you know?

Speaker 1 Um, what type of advice would you give them

Speaker 1 about going and starting a business? Like, what would be some key takeaways that really helped you?

Speaker 2 I would say the number one thing is, like, you have to be able to work for somebody if you want to be your boss. Like, if you want to become the boss, you have to be able to work under somebody.

Speaker 2 That's one of the best things that I was able to experience because becoming an employee is like, you know, people look at it like all the young kids right now, like, they don't want to work for somebody, they want to have their own business, but then they don't realize it's like if you're an employee, you work for 95, but if you're a business owner, you work 24-7.

Speaker 2 Oh, 100%.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 people still have that like illusion of like they think that being an entrepreneur is easy. But no, it's easy in some ways.

Speaker 2 You have your own schedule and stuff, but it doesn't mean that you have no schedule. It means you just make your own schedule, but it's a lot more stacked.
It's like you have to be able to manage.

Speaker 2 You have to...

Speaker 2 If I had to give one advice to somebody, it would be to have a mentor.

Speaker 1 To make it things easier.

Speaker 2 It literally makes things easier for you. It's like, why would you...

Speaker 2 want to have all those like have the learning curve like two three years do all the mistakes when there's somebody that's already made those mistakes and can teach you like show you the way it's like right now if like somebody is getting started in catering it's like like i didn't have anybody to learn like in that niche but then i did it myself and it's good but as somebody that's like starting if they fail they might lose motivation they might not have enough cash to keep going and there can be a lot of factors and when you have a mentor you know that

Speaker 2 that guy is going to show you the way He's not going to do it for you. It no means he's not going to do it for you, but he's going to show you the right way.

Speaker 2 And I think like it's very like under like it's very underrated.

Speaker 2 It's like

Speaker 2 you also need a lot of like training and sales also.

Speaker 1 It's like 100%.

Speaker 2 Sales is everything.

Speaker 2 It's like you and me talking right now. I'm selling myself to you.

Speaker 2 It's like literally like the number one skill that you should have is like sales you have to get good in sales you have to be a good leader show you have to lead by example and you just have to get started.

Speaker 2 Honestly, like, too many people are just waiting for the right opportunity, for the right perfection. Yeah, exactly.
You just have to get started. You have to fail.

Speaker 2 And like, if I fail right now, I'm still only 24. I failed five years, I'm only 29.
And like, you can still succeed.

Speaker 2 It's like, why not just stack up all the experience, all the, because like, failure is good for you. It's like, that's how you learn, exactly.
They don't teach that in school.

Speaker 2 In school, it's like, if you fail, you get an F and you're not encouraged to fail. But in real life, you should fail.

Speaker 2 You should fail as many times as you can to like to learn from those mistakes and like succeed.

Speaker 2 And I think that's one of the main key takeaways that I've learned from a lot of different entrepreneurs that I talk to, from my mentors.

Speaker 2 You just have to start. You just have to start somewhere.

Speaker 1 You just have to start. in perfect action.
Exactly. Don't be a perfectionist.
Work on your time management. I mean, dude, you're preaching to the crowd right now, dude.
Like, seriously.

Speaker 1 All right, cool, man. So, talk to our audience right here.
Let them know.

Speaker 1 Give them some words of encouragement, motivation from a 24-year-old multi-millionaire that came to this country nine years ago and give them that sauce, bro.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 2 So,

Speaker 2 like I said,

Speaker 2 I came here nine years ago. I'm only 24 now.
I spoke zero English when I came here.

Speaker 2 I was able to make it in life, was able to make it in the new American dream. That means anybody can do it.
You can do it too. All you have to do is just keep your mind,

Speaker 2 like, be focused on what you're doing. Like, don't get distracted by all the social media right now and stuff like that.
There's a new study that came out that was 82 hours of distraction every week.

Speaker 2 It's like more than a full-time job. And like, Patrick Bedev has a video on that.
It's like, this year of

Speaker 2 2025 is a year of surprises and a year of distraction. There's going to be so many

Speaker 2 things that will take away from you from your path and like but you have to be dialed in you have to get into the monk mode

Speaker 2 whatever you're doing you can be in school get into studying you can be in like starting your own business you just have to get dialed in you have to pay for those mentorships you have to get into the sales trainings and you have to succeed like you have to do whatever it takes like it doesn't matter if you're just getting started or if you have some money if you have some money it's good you you can invest all that in yourself because the best money you can invest in will be in yourself.

Speaker 2 And self-growth, self-improvement is the name of the game right now.

Speaker 2 If you're young, if you're under 30 years old,

Speaker 2 there's so many people to learn from. And I would suggest you start doing that now.
Don't wait for the right opportunity. Don't wait for the right moment.
The time is now.

Speaker 2 And it's like Dana White said, it's so easy to succeed in today's age because everybody's so lazy. Everybody is like

Speaker 2 doing on like, I don't know, on Instagram, YouTube, whatever, TikTok. But if you're dial in for six months to a year you you'll be surprised how your life can change and

Speaker 2 I think that advice can apply to anybody if you're already successful too if you're making seven eight figures if you dial in for six months you can make nine figures it's like it's that compound

Speaker 2 but the effect that you have on your life is like if you focus in if you dial in

Speaker 2 It's same with me right now. I don't smoke.
I don't drink. I don't party.
I don't go out. I don't use social media.
I'm just dialing on my business.

Speaker 2 and that's it I think that's the secret sauce is just keep working keep grinding there's there's no secret

Speaker 2 like like some people are looking for the secret way to do this one way to do it but no you just have to get started you just have to do things don't think too much just have to go ahead and do it keep failing and that's

Speaker 2 you have to carve your way to this to success and that's your path and everybody has a different story so make your own story write your own story and it it

Speaker 2 that's why like i'm here i wanna like if you're looking for somebody to learn from i'm always here i'm young and you can learn from me i'm not gonna charge you anything we can be friends this and that because i met a lot of guys at like the

Speaker 2 danny galliot events young guys are my age and but they they're not where they want to be in life so we just you know i i showed them the way i kind of

Speaker 2 everybody has their own path but if you have good mentors you're definitely gonna get there that's what i'm talking about bro bro.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm talking about. You just drop a couple of hints on there, bro.
So, where can the people find you, dude? Um, IG, YouTube, like all social media platforms.
