00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.710
Let's face the reality there isn't enough wisdom on social media today.

00:00:03.710 --> 00:00:13.522
There isn't quality messaging to help young adults and adolescents take comfort in knowing that they're not alone in overcoming adversity, whether it be bullying or fighting their inner demons.

00:00:13.522 --> 00:00:20.103
Bullying is a subject that I know all too well, as my youngest was severely teased and bullied, having threats growing up.

00:00:20.103 --> 00:00:31.091

Thank you for having me, thank you everyone.

Thank you for having me.

00:01:42.787 --> 00:01:43.671
Absolutely Well, ron, thank you for having me.

00:01:43.671 --> 00:01:44.215
Thank you everyone.

00:01:44.215 --> 00:01:44.778
Thank you for having me.

00:01:44.817 --> 00:01:46.263
Absolutely Well, ron.

00:01:46.263 --> 00:01:47.299
Let's get to it Again.

00:01:47.299 --> 00:01:51.371
This podcast focuses on bullying, self-awareness and our inner spirit.

00:01:51.371 --> 00:01:55.510
Tell us a little bit about your background.

00:01:56.620 --> 00:01:57.566
My background man.

00:01:57.566 --> 00:01:59.909
I'm originally from California.

00:01:59.909 --> 00:02:09.213
I was raised by my mother and you know my dad was in the military, so he spent a lot of time in the military.

00:02:09.213 --> 00:02:14.131
So I grew up with both of my parents per se, but mostly with my mom and my siblings.

00:02:14.131 --> 00:02:15.233
Yeah, Interesting.

00:02:15.272 --> 00:02:19.310
Yeah, and growing up you had a learning disability up until high school.

00:02:19.651 --> 00:02:24.336
Yeah, yeah, growing up my mom had a learning disability so it was something that I've learned.

00:02:24.336 --> 00:02:34.191
That it's genetics and literally to me can be passed down through family members, because I also see them in one of my kids that I have.

00:02:34.191 --> 00:02:39.973
That is something that could possibly be a genetic thing through family members.

00:02:39.973 --> 00:02:52.395
So with that I grew up with it and, you know, with my mom having it, you know she did a good job helping me to adapt to my environments around me with a learning disability.

00:02:52.395 --> 00:02:54.807
So you know I'm grateful for that.

00:02:54.807 --> 00:02:58.431
But yeah, you know I had my trials through school, college.

00:02:58.431 --> 00:03:02.081
You know, getting through the day-to-day I always had to take.

00:03:02.081 --> 00:03:05.669
I've always called the longer route to get to things, but I always got it done.

00:03:06.250 --> 00:03:07.051
You mentioned trials.

00:03:07.051 --> 00:03:07.993
Does that mean you were bullied?

00:03:10.323 --> 00:03:18.960
I used to mask my bullying into with sports because I was so athletic I'd masked all that.

00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:23.131
It was hard to, you know, bully someone that's bigger, faster and stronger than you.

00:03:23.131 --> 00:03:26.037
So once I figured that out, I just started working out every day.

00:03:26.037 --> 00:03:29.128
Yeah, and bullying wasn't one of the things I had to deal with.

00:03:29.128 --> 00:03:33.151
No one really, you know, came to me with stuff.

00:03:33.151 --> 00:03:35.764
But I do remember being in class.

00:03:35.764 --> 00:03:51.740
Sometimes when we were in like reading class, okay, and those days when you know she's making everybody read out loud, I remember coming up with ways to have to leave the class or be a class clown or you know, I'm saying find a reason to get out of the situation.

00:03:52.762 --> 00:04:18.528
Um, but my grandmother, uh, who, uh, was a big part of my life, um, she was a big uh christian and um and believer, and you know she always believed that you know everything could be fixed in that realm and she used to make me read the Bible with her every day and I used to help with my reading a lot, which that's just something I do now every day just to help build my vocabulary.

00:04:18.819 --> 00:04:20.045
Incredible, incredible.

00:04:20.045 --> 00:04:28.807
And then I'm curious again, being a former professional athlete, tell us about your journey through sports and what did you learn from from that.

00:04:29.387 --> 00:04:34.769
My sports is a tough one for me because there's so many, so many highs and so many lows for it.

00:04:34.769 --> 00:04:37.538
But I will start with the highs.

00:04:37.538 --> 00:04:40.687
You know, growing up sports is a big you know.

00:04:40.687 --> 00:04:42.170
It helped me get people's attention.

00:04:42.170 --> 00:04:44.701
That was one of the things that I was seeking.

00:04:44.701 --> 00:04:48.211
Talking about what we were talking about earlier, about my mom and my dad.

00:04:48.211 --> 00:05:02.350
My dad was a part of my life but he was busy all the time and so I didn't get that male affection that most young men get to have a father at home and I use sports now that I'm older and I got to talk to someone.

00:05:03.461 --> 00:05:06.507
You know I got to learn this about myself, but I really played for attention.

00:05:06.507 --> 00:05:13.408
I was seeking attention from male counterparts like coaches and my teammates' fathers.

00:05:13.548 --> 00:05:18.656
You know, when I played it looks like they developed your, they were like your father figures.

00:05:18.656 --> 00:05:19.639
Yeah, in a sense.

00:05:19.819 --> 00:05:25.413
You know, coaches were like, you know, a principal or a teacher.

00:05:25.413 --> 00:05:28.428
Sure, I used to build relationships with other males.

00:05:28.428 --> 00:05:33.060
I did a real good job finding, pointing out someone and being like yo.

00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:38.687
There's something about him that I want to be like that person and I have a lot of people like Doug Prentice.

00:05:38.687 --> 00:05:41.779
He was a huge part of my life.

00:05:41.779 --> 00:05:47.692
He was also my IEP teacher, so the person with me oh really, yeah, yeah, you're an IEP.

00:05:48.100 --> 00:05:49.048
Yeah, he was an.

00:05:49.149 --> 00:05:49.492
IEP.

00:05:49.492 --> 00:05:50.300
He was my IEP teacher.

00:05:50.300 --> 00:05:55.970
My daughter was an IEP, so yeah, okay, yeah so he was also my IEP teacher and my track coach.

00:05:55.970 --> 00:06:03.550
So, with that, two things, with school, I spent all day with him, you know, talking to him all day.

00:06:03.550 --> 00:06:06.023
School, I spent all day with him.

00:06:06.023 --> 00:06:06.846
You know, yeah, I'm talking to him all day.

00:06:06.846 --> 00:06:07.829
And then, you know, we were at practice, you know.

00:06:07.829 --> 00:06:15.153
So I spent a lot of time with him and, uh, he was a huge influence on okay encouraging me that I could go to college, that I could still.

00:06:15.194 --> 00:06:18.084
You know like because, I wasn't thinking of it at that time.

00:06:18.084 --> 00:06:23.223
I was just like you know, if I get sure you know he knew I can get a scholarship athletic wise.

00:06:23.223 --> 00:06:29.303
He was just letting me he used to build my confidence and let me know like but you can get through school too that positive role model.

00:06:29.324 --> 00:06:38.781
Yeah, yeah, yeah so he encouraged me a lot because I wasn't, it wasn't something I was thinking about doing, but uh, sports helped me, like I said, build my confidence and open doors for me.

00:06:38.781 --> 00:06:42.973
Um, that other doors, you know, I wouldn't be able to go through because of sports.

00:06:42.973 --> 00:06:45.319
So, like I said, there has the highs and the lows, yeah yeah.

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:53.521
But when I got to a professional league I got to a wall where I realized I didn't really care about playing as much you know later on in my life.

00:06:53.521 --> 00:07:00.665
And then, once I got to break down why I actually played, once I got to a certain level, it was just like I wasn't seeking that attention.

00:07:01.536 --> 00:07:10.134
But beyond just the confidence, ron, I mean it looks like Chef Ron, excuse me, there was that discipline that you learned through sports, through sports, everything.

00:07:10.134 --> 00:07:12.463
And that carried over through your cooking.

00:07:12.463 --> 00:07:16.505
So describe to us how you got involved in the cooking.

00:07:18.314 --> 00:07:20.240
I got involved in the cooking through going to community college.

00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:55.502
I started there and then, when I got to the university, I really got engulfed in cooking because I realized I went to a black college called Alabama and I'm gonna shout them out right now the Bulldogs and um, um, they didn't, um, they didn't have a cafeteria closed at a certain time and I realized people on the campus needed food and, um, you know, I just started selling food on campus yeah you know, with some, a couple of my friends, and it became a thing and, uh, we were known for the people selling plates, or plates after, you cooked it okay in

00:07:55.523 --> 00:08:01.242
college and it got popular from there and I didn't think I was going to cook.

00:08:01.242 --> 00:08:05.978
From that point it was just more of a hustle Cooking gave me.

00:08:05.978 --> 00:08:09.565
If I could talk about food and cooking, it changed my life man.

00:08:09.565 --> 00:08:10.588
It gave me a second chance.

00:08:10.588 --> 00:08:13.485
I was chasing something before in football.

00:08:13.485 --> 00:08:18.920
I got to a point where football was over, sports was over, yeah, and it took me a while to grow out of that.

00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:28.262
You know, I kind of went through a small depression, you know, realizing I feel like every athlete does goes through a small depression when it comes to realizing that their sports dreams are over.

00:08:28.583 --> 00:08:34.626
Right, you know you have to grasp with that thought of like you're not doing that anymore, especially when you get to a certain level.

00:08:34.626 --> 00:08:42.147
And, um, you know, I just went through that stages of that and, um, you know, once I got through that, food gave me a second chance.

00:08:42.147 --> 00:08:46.528
It just gave me more life and gave me something to go after, things and right purpose.

00:08:46.528 --> 00:08:51.039
So my whole thing when it comes to food, it was built around purpose.

00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:54.916
It just gave me new life well with athletes in particular.

00:08:54.995 --> 00:09:02.019
I mean, for me it's hard to have in the same sentence you can be humble and be super competitive, right?

00:09:02.019 --> 00:09:03.263
How does that work.

00:09:03.864 --> 00:09:08.341
It's a mindset you know like to stay humble is a is a personal thing.

00:09:08.341 --> 00:09:10.546
It's which, it's a discipline.

00:09:10.546 --> 00:09:15.904
It's something that you have to practice right it's not something that you could just, it's just in you to do.

00:09:15.904 --> 00:09:17.576
No one just had you just have.

00:09:17.576 --> 00:09:20.465
You have to wake up every day and practice that and ways you can do.

00:09:20.504 --> 00:09:35.802
That is how you, you know how you live your life and I like to you know shadow minds with giving yeah and giving to people and that's, you know, giving to people and you know, and going out my way for other people sure helps me because it reminds me what when I help.

00:09:36.163 --> 00:09:37.164
Well, that's again.

00:09:37.164 --> 00:09:38.326
It speaks to the inner spirit.

00:09:38.326 --> 00:09:39.629
Yeah, yeah, right, yeah.

00:09:40.075 --> 00:09:46.687
So, like I said, it's a practice and you know to this day, I do that when I'm feeling up, or even when I'm feeling down.

00:09:46.687 --> 00:09:51.384
I always know the best thing I can do is invest in other people, and you know to find that balance.

00:09:51.384 --> 00:09:52.907
You know to find that balance.

00:09:52.907 --> 00:09:53.727
You know.

00:09:57.754 --> 00:10:09.150
Now, on the flip side, has there been an event that you catered, or even beyond when you started your catering business, that you ever felt underappreciated, or I would say underappreciated or mistreated?

00:10:09.712 --> 00:10:15.102
All right, yeah, I'm going to talk about both because I don't want to just give one to the thing, but we'll talk about the mistreat.

00:10:15.102 --> 00:10:19.447
I've done a bunch of events where I felt unappreciated.

00:10:19.447 --> 00:10:29.381
There was one event that I did for a company and in matter of fact I call him my brother, but my best friend was helping me at the time.

00:10:29.481 --> 00:10:29.702
Okay.

00:10:30.115 --> 00:10:35.477
And he was getting frustrated because they kept calling him boy and you know, just a bunch of stuff.

00:10:35.498 --> 00:10:45.288
Can't do that I've been in environments like look, I've cooked for all kinds of people, yeah, and I've left myself open for that because I don't judge anybody.

00:10:45.288 --> 00:10:47.191
Everyone lives their life the way they want to live.

00:10:47.191 --> 00:10:56.582
Sure, you know, as long as you don't disrespect me directly, you know I can blind myself from you.

00:10:56.582 --> 00:10:58.166
Know how you're treating me in the moment.

00:10:58.166 --> 00:11:02.059
You know, because it's not about you when I'm, you know what I think about.

00:11:02.059 --> 00:11:04.005
Like I said, it goes back to how you think you know.

00:11:04.535 --> 00:11:09.326
If I work for someone and I may not, you know, agree with what they have going on.

00:11:09.326 --> 00:11:12.503
I stick to what I do, but I know the benefit of working with them.

00:11:12.503 --> 00:11:14.883
I'm going to take whatever they give me and give it to someone else.

00:11:14.883 --> 00:11:17.624
In a sense, you of working with them.

00:11:17.561 --> 00:11:19.000
I'm going to take whatever they give me and give it to someone else in a sense.

00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:19.407
You know what I'm saying?

00:11:19.407 --> 00:11:19.572
It's the spirit of giving yeah.

00:11:19.509 --> 00:11:20.018
Yeah, I'm not worrying about them.

00:11:20.077 --> 00:11:21.923
I'm doing what I got to do to get what I need.

00:11:22.455 --> 00:11:28.004
So I can continue to push the cause of what we were talking about earlier about the transition of giving and going back and forth.

00:11:28.004 --> 00:11:31.524
So I never think about how somebody makes me feel.

00:11:31.524 --> 00:11:41.509
I try not to be in my feelings about sure and everything, but there are tons in the situations where I've, you know, was in an uncomfortable situation.

00:11:41.509 --> 00:11:44.860
But, like I said, it's a mindset and how you think because you got to remember people.

00:11:44.860 --> 00:11:49.116
We were just talking about this earlier but people see you at where you.

00:11:49.116 --> 00:11:55.864
They see you at in the moment, yeah, and you're always focused on who you're becoming chef ron is you mentioned.

00:11:55.903 --> 00:12:02.745
Creating a positive environment in your kitchen is important to you because negative energy can affect the taste of your food.

00:12:03.067 --> 00:12:05.298
Correct and I actually got that from.

00:12:05.298 --> 00:12:07.706
I'm going to give her a shout-out right now.

00:12:07.706 --> 00:12:09.402
Her name is Petra Chang.

00:12:09.402 --> 00:12:18.999
Okay, I got that from her, and she only cooks in the middle of the night, when it's like the most peaceful.

00:12:18.999 --> 00:12:29.409
She only bakes, I will say, at a certain point of the day, because she believes that during the middle of the day there's so much energy that it can affect the food.

00:12:29.409 --> 00:12:32.408
And then I've had people.

00:12:32.860 --> 00:12:35.188
I don't think I can get my wife to cook in the middle of the night like that.

00:12:36.561 --> 00:12:40.225
Or even when I cook for people, when I'm at their home, how you set the tone.

00:12:40.225 --> 00:12:44.509
I believe in energy, so when I'm in there I kind of catch the vibe of the people.

00:12:44.509 --> 00:13:05.369
I'm around, right, you know, and I that is so true I learned to adapt really quick and make sure the music that my energy is matching what their energy is if they want to be turned up you know you got to allow people to be in their environment and what they want and, or if they want to be mellow and be chill, you got to give people that environment You've got to.

00:13:05.490 --> 00:13:15.668
I feel like me and my team do a very good job adapting to people's environment and making people feel comfortable, and then you throw in great food on top of that and you know, you have a party.

00:13:16.350 --> 00:13:16.812
Absolutely.

00:13:16.812 --> 00:13:18.868
That's final question.

00:13:18.868 --> 00:13:20.485
Again, this has been such a blessing to have you.

00:13:20.485 --> 00:13:23.327
What's next for Chef Ron Young?

00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:28.321
What's next for Food?

00:13:28.321 --> 00:13:28.581
Ron young um.

00:13:28.581 --> 00:13:29.003
What's next for food?

00:13:29.043 --> 00:13:31.048
vision and chef ron is um, actually I don't think for the audience.

00:13:31.048 --> 00:13:32.211
They don't know what food vision is.

00:13:32.211 --> 00:13:34.523
Maybe just a quick bio on that.

00:13:34.562 --> 00:13:43.653
Yeah, exactly happy you did that food vision a lot of people ask me what it stands for, and it's, it's really not, it's the first word of.

00:13:43.653 --> 00:13:45.961
It doesn't matter, it's really the vision part it was.

00:13:45.961 --> 00:13:49.110
It was my purpose, it was my vision of what I want.

00:13:49.110 --> 00:13:55.849
You know, the, just the infinite imagination of anything, sure, whatever your vision is, I can create that.

00:13:55.849 --> 00:14:01.065
If it's food, if it's energy, you know whatever I manifestation.

00:14:01.085 --> 00:14:07.408
Yeah, it's whatever you want it to be, that's what it stands for, and to do it and it also stands for.

00:14:07.408 --> 00:14:10.717
You know, what I've always stood by is to feed nations.

00:14:10.717 --> 00:14:19.105
I just doubled it down and understood as I grow that I you know you need to start with your neighbor before you can start with nations.

00:14:19.105 --> 00:14:21.207
So, um, I do.

00:14:21.207 --> 00:14:22.289
I focus on the people.

00:14:22.309 --> 00:14:25.134
Speaking of nation Yog Nation, Yog Nation, yeah.

00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:32.964
So you know, just even that, if I can throw this in here real quick, you know there's a family that humbled me, moments like these.

00:14:32.964 --> 00:14:37.505
That humbled me is I got to cook for a group and they didn't really have a whole lot of money.

00:14:37.505 --> 00:14:40.225
Sure, they invited me to come and cook for the family.

00:14:40.225 --> 00:14:46.927
I remember it was really the ladies, the wives, that invited me and I remember meeting her husband.

00:14:46.927 --> 00:14:48.130
He wouldn't come out the door or his room.

00:14:48.130 --> 00:14:53.232
He was very disappointed that she paid the amount of money she paid for me to be there to cook for them.

00:14:53.232 --> 00:14:55.484
Um, these ladies went out their way.

00:14:55.484 --> 00:14:57.537
They didn't have a whole lot, they just put some tables together.

00:14:57.537 --> 00:15:02.727
They had their whole family come and we cook, you know, and I treat everybody the same, the same energy.

00:15:02.748 --> 00:15:05.011
Like I said I walked in, I felt the energy.

00:15:05.011 --> 00:15:06.434
I gave them the same energy.

00:15:06.434 --> 00:15:11.147
I'm talking to the kids because they're looking at my Instagram and they're just like you cook for this person.

00:15:11.147 --> 00:15:13.668
You know what I'm saying, like they're talking to me and everything.

00:15:13.668 --> 00:15:26.615
But I remember at the end of the dinner after you know the aid and everybody had a good time I remember him coming to me and saying like this was worth it, and gave me a hug and was like I had the best time with my family, right, you know?

00:15:26.754 --> 00:15:31.769
and that's part of the receiving end, of being on the gratitude side man, and it really changes you because you just like.

00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:35.831
You see how humble and happy this family is just to have me here at their house.

00:15:35.831 --> 00:15:41.285
That's hard to take in, right, I was the gift and it's crazy to think that I was.

00:15:41.285 --> 00:15:43.910
You know that people see me in that way.

00:15:43.910 --> 00:15:51.940
Yes, you know I can bring that type that she believed that I can bring that energy and that to her family and for them to be so grateful to have me there.

00:15:51.940 --> 00:15:56.729
You know him taking a picture and you know I was just disrespecting the man.

00:15:56.729 --> 00:15:57.471
I was taller than him.

00:15:57.471 --> 00:16:03.133
So even for him to stand on a box to take a picture with me, like he wanted to take a picture with me, to take a picture with me Like he wanted to take a picture with me.

00:16:03.153 --> 00:16:04.359
Stand in a box because you're tall.

00:16:05.301 --> 00:16:06.706
Yeah, yeah yeah, he didn't want me to see him.

00:16:06.706 --> 00:16:11.669
He didn't want to take a picture with me standing over him, so he stood on a box to make sure that we were even.

00:16:11.669 --> 00:16:13.705
No, but he had me funny.

00:16:13.705 --> 00:16:14.730
The dude was funny man.

00:16:14.730 --> 00:16:15.801
He was really funny.

00:16:15.801 --> 00:16:22.546
Once we got you know, once he let his guard down and you know, by him just telling me that it was worth.

00:16:22.546 --> 00:16:23.346
It is crazy.

00:16:23.346 --> 00:16:25.509
Yeah, to me it was a lot.

00:16:25.708 --> 00:16:27.350
And that's where you want to take food vision as well.

00:16:27.509 --> 00:16:28.811
And just continue to touch people.

00:16:28.811 --> 00:16:42.864
Yeah, so food vision is headed and Chef Ron is headed towards creating an experience for people in the restaurant world high-end and creating experience for people when they leave there.

00:16:42.884 --> 00:16:49.375
They're leaving there, you know, with infinite imagination and vision and energy and culture and everything man.

00:16:49.519 --> 00:17:01.559
So I just want to create a space that people are walking out of there refreshed and looking at what I've created and being like, oh, I can do this myself, so that's my goal.

00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:03.062
