Taking you back to 3/31/2016 and we find the first…and somehow only time…that this guy has appeared on the show…Scott Thomas from Grillin Fools fame…we get the background and how he rose to prominence in the social media fame…he then parlayed that into selling social media classes (how to work the algorithm to get followers) and is still doing it today. Certainly a success in many facets of the live fire world…both from a cooking stand point and one who has been able to amass $$$ and gear within the industry that most of us would only dream of. So, if you aren’t familiar with Scott…this is a great intro to him. BTW, let me say this…Scott and I fully agree on keeping your day job while also monetizing your side hustle…why quit one when you can have both!! Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

Thank you to sponsor of this episode: Green Mountain Grills________________________________________________Episode 380Taking you back to 4/19/2016 - Featuring one of the best competition cooks in the last 10 years or so, Fred Robles from Rio Valley Meats. Not only has Fred been a prolific competition BBQ cook, he has also started a big Texas based competition sanctioning body (The CBA) that has seen great success over the past handful of years…so much so…he is seen as a true option to the more well known sanctioning bodies like ICBA or KCBS.If you aren’t familiar with Fred, this is a great introduction to him and what his background is and how he eventually got into the BBQ competition circuit. Well worth the listen…Fred is a great guy and I know you will enjoy this one coming up on Friday.
