mouth . So
0:31
what you got ?
0:32
next for me . So I'm actually
0:34
a lot of chefs don't like desserts , like
0:36
people . Some chefs say pastry
0:39
chefs have dessert , but most chefs like , alright , I
0:41
just want to cook savory food , that's all I'm gonna do . So
0:44
I like to make a little twist on it . So I have
0:46
a dessert that is not probably thrown into
0:48
the traditional dessert , but we're going to amplify
0:51
it . So what we're doing right now is
0:53
it doesn't bring some butternut
0:55
squash , and
0:57
butternut squash is a
1:00
great alternative to a sweet potato , a little
1:03
less starchy and
1:06
still has some great flavor
1:08
. So what I did was actually marinated it
1:10
, letting our squash use a little pumpkin
1:12
spice , a little saline sediment like you know
1:14
, bean and meat sediment on this
1:16
Roasted it down . It's got a little softer and
1:19
after doing that , now what we're going to do is I made a little
1:21
chocolate sauce , but I didn't use traditional chocolate , so
1:24
once again , it's trying to think some healthy notes
1:26
. So we took a cacao
1:28
powder , flavor it up , use
1:30
that to flavor up , a little grape seed oil and little
1:33
date syrup , because
1:36
at them days , sugar is
1:38
not always beneficial , but there's different levels
1:40
to the ways we can sweeten things , so date
1:43
syrup or date sugar are
1:45
seen as healthier sugar options
1:47
. Alright , so I use that to make
1:49
this like chocolate sauce
1:52
. So what we're going to do is put
1:54
a little bit of that drizzle that over
1:57
, just like this , so we're
2:00
going to give it a little chocolate flavor on
2:03
this butternut squash , but
2:06
then just have a little more fun . What we
2:08
did was actually toast up
2:10
some walnuts
2:13
, so I got to pull that
2:15
out . So now I actually continue
2:17
to add flavor to these
2:19
different elements of what you're cooking . So
2:22
how do you , how do ?
2:23
you dream ? How do you ? How are
2:26
you like researching stuff or you just trying
2:28
stuff ?
2:29
I dream in color , I dream in flavor
2:32
. So when I started
2:34
my personal chef business , I called it blank canvas
2:36
cooking , because I literally look at
2:38
each plate as a blank canvas
2:41
. And I was not gifted in
2:43
arts like drawing . I had visions
2:45
, but when I tried to actually put it on a
2:48
canvas or a piece of paper , uh-uh
2:50
, came out totally wrong . So with
2:52
that , who has become my art
2:54
, I'm going to give you a little cup
2:57
of nut sugar , one of
2:59
the things when you work with sugar sometimes you don't
3:01
want to roast it because it can caramelize too quick
3:03
. So after you have a burnt , more burnt effect
3:05
. So sometimes you want to put some sugars on afterwards
3:08
. So I'm getting a little cup of sugar afterwards
3:10
and going to give you a little zest of
3:12
orange . One of the things that they learn is most
3:14
of the flavor of citrus fruits are
3:17
in the skin , so something with that is
3:19
cut and put some juice on it . A lot of the flavor
3:21
, essence of citrus
3:23
fruits are right here in the skin , so I'm just
3:25
going to give you a little bit of orange
3:28
zest All
3:34
night as well . Now , remember , this is going
3:36
to be a little warm , so
3:38
it would have been great to have some ice cream
3:41
, but now I'm just going to give you
3:43
this in a different manner . You don't have to
3:45
always put ice cream or whipped cream on on
3:47
a dish to make it as you deserve
3:49
, but it has a nice little sweet touch , so
3:51
I'm going to eat the whole thing , skin too . Well , you know
3:53
what I mean . I'm not going to eat the skin on it . So the
3:55
skin is pretty rough so you can use , yeah
3:57
, kind of slice into it . Should
4:02
be pretty tender . So
4:07
I'm going to like an elevated sweet potato pie .
4:12
Wow .
4:14
I was not expecting that . Now for butternut
4:16
squash .
4:18
That's not what I was imagining going
4:20
in my palate
4:22
.
4:23
And you get a little extra flavor with the walnuts
4:26
because you're toasting them . Add a little cinnamon to
4:28
the walnuts as well , wow . So the goal
4:30
is to continue to add flavor at
4:32
every single level
4:34
of the dish .
4:35
Yeah , I'm going to need more , more God
4:38
leave .
4:41
If you want to take it even further , you could definitely
4:43
use like a little creme fraiche , or what
4:45
I would have done is maybe take , maybe like
4:47
a whipped cream , use like some hemp seeds or almond
4:50
milk , and it's like you're tricking me . Is
4:53
your expecting ?
4:54
any little more savory . No , it's really
4:56
a vegetable , but it's a dessert .
5:00
Imagine that
5:02
You've experienced a full plant-based
5:04
meal and that is called a food . It's just good
5:06
food . You didn't think about it . You didn't think you were going
5:08
to eat vegan diet , but you did . So
5:11
everything was yeah . There was
5:13
not one single animal utilized
5:15
in the making of
5:17
these dishes . Everything came
5:19
from the beauty of plants , vegetables
5:22
, fruits
5:24
and some greens . Wow
5:28
, and you feel satisfied , right .
5:30
I feel amazing right now . I
5:33
feel amazing Chef .
5:34
Almost like a guilt-free dessert yeah .
5:37
So when
5:40
is the cookbook coming out ?
5:43
And so , interestingly enough , it's something
5:45
that I actually it's a passion project I wanted
5:48
to put together . So I got a chance to work with
5:50
another of the NFL guy . I was
5:52
a wide receiver and worked for NFL for
5:54
a few years and worked with him . I
5:56
think I wanted to be able to do something to show like maybe
5:58
30 meals or 30 , 30
6:00
dishes of an athlete Eat like a pro
6:02
. So that is on my wish list , gotcha
6:05
, and I'm going to work on that . But , funny
6:07
enough , right now my girlfriend and I we are
6:09
working on a cookbook . We're doing something within
6:11
a plant-based space . We're taking
6:13
some traditional foods and
6:16
just remix them and making them vegan
6:18
. Okay , so we're in the midst of doing that
6:20
. I did it should be done before March but
6:22
just a testing phase of recipes
6:25
. It kind of consumes me , but it's
6:27
a passion project , it will be done .
6:30
So what is done ? You
6:33
got , how do I I don't want to say wrong unaltered-
6:35
which is when
6:38
I tell you just the concept behind it
6:40
.
6:40
I didn't do it alone , but I had a business partner work
6:43
with an altered . But an altered is a phenomenal
6:45
product and it's more than just the name , is actually
6:47
a deeper meaning , because
6:50
the product itself is slightly
6:53
unaltered , One of the things in most
6:55
natural form to get the most benefit out
6:57
of it and it is .
6:58
can you explain what it is ? It's a protein bar
7:00
. It's a snack bar .
7:02
Snack bar . Okay , you can even call it an energy bar
7:04
. I don't want you , because people are getting on an energy bar
7:06
and it was so weird this whole term energy
7:08
. But I tell you , all food
7:10
gives you energy , so everything's an energy bar
7:13
. But we decided to put that in a category because we
7:15
need stimulate energy like no all
7:17
food can provide you an energy . All right . But
7:19
no , this is a snack bar , so it's
7:21
something that we use seven or fewer , seven
7:23
or less ingredients , no
7:26
added sugar , there's no preservatives . We
7:28
have simply taken the beauty of dates , mashed
7:31
that up with a grain called amaranth
7:33
amaranth grain , which is a gluten
7:35
free grain , and then we created
7:38
four flavors . To start with , some
7:40
flavors include sea moss . Some
7:42
flavors include something like bird eye . Some
7:44
we use natural flavors
7:47
like carrot powder , which is another derivative
7:50
of like a chocolatey taste . We use saline
7:52
cinnamon , which is a more natural cinnamon
7:54
taste . We add walnuts
7:56
, brazil nuts , and some people don't even
7:58
realize Brazil nuts are an actually complete
8:00
protein . So when you're looking for those essential
8:03
amino acids , you can get that in Brazil nuts . We
8:05
have another bar where we use hemp seeds , which
8:07
is another complete protein
8:09
which you can get your essential amino acids
8:11
. So , like I tell athletes a lot of
8:13
times , you don't have to always go
8:15
to these big protein powders
8:18
and I'm not going to supplement companies , but we
8:20
can keep that protein intake
8:22
, that essential amino acid intake . We
8:24
can keep it simple . Add Brazil
8:26
nuts and hemp seeds to the shakes
8:28
you're making . You're getting a great amount of protein
8:31
that will benefit your body without some
8:33
of the fillers . That's what scares me about
8:35
some clients . They get a lot
8:37
of tubs but they don't read
8:39
the real details and see everything that's in these
8:41
tubs . Because you grind stuff up
8:43
to a powder , you can put a lot of things in
8:45
it that you miss . So
8:48
, yeah , so yeah . Our products are just
8:50
very clean , simple products and ingredients that
8:52
you understand . That's my biggest thing when it comes
8:54
to eating Eat , simple , eat food
8:56
that you understand . You don't understand what
8:58
that ingredient is . You might not want to
9:00
put it in the body . You
9:02
don't know what it is .
9:03
You don't know what you want to do . I make sense , but
9:06
we don't , no , no , we just
9:08
make it taste good .
9:09
Okay , you can put lipstick on
9:11
a pig , but it's still a pig .
9:13
Yeah , then you got Matt
9:15
Harvest and we had some
9:17
of these last time . What did you think about
9:19
it ? Amazing , like
9:22
, really the
9:25
best fruit juice I've had
9:27
. I'll honor it . I appreciate that , like
9:29
food , like because you
9:32
gave me there was a beat one that messed your head
9:34
up .
9:34
I was like I'm not drinking no
9:36
beet juice , and it was crazy
9:39
good and that's
9:41
what I love about doing this
9:43
with just natural foods , like , first of all , with juice
9:45
in general . There's a lot of juice companies
9:47
that add preservatives , juice
9:51
companies that add perfumes . You don't even realize
9:53
some juices have
9:55
chemicals to smell . It create
9:58
the scent of an orange . It's
10:00
not just a real scent . So
10:02
there's things in juices that don't need to be there
10:04
. I created these juices
10:07
. You just magnify
10:09
the fruits and vegetables that's in them . That's
10:11
it , because nature
10:13
has given a lot of fruits , all
10:16
the sweetness we need . Like my other
10:18
people , try that apple juice . They're
10:20
like no must be some sugar .
10:22
No , apple juice was yeah
10:26
.
10:28
And it's apples . Like the apples did
10:30
the magic . I just put them in a box .
10:32
Yeah . Yes so now , this
10:34
is Mad harvest
10:36
.
10:37
Yeah , now I'm proud of my because
10:40
I came out of a need once again . I was
10:42
with a client . He wasn't eating enough fruits
10:44
and veggies . He's in these
10:46
basically in all season . Like
10:48
no , you need to something about it . What's going on
10:50
? So I'm like I gotta find a better way . It's your
10:53
chef should be able to think on the
10:55
fly to create a solution to get you what you need . It
10:57
wasn't want to eat these veggies for whatever reason
10:59
. You want to drink , yeah . So I came up with three
11:01
flavors of juices and just started doing on a regular
11:04
basis . He liked it and I'm like , all
11:06
right , well , I know he's getting what he needs . So something
11:08
clicked . I had another business partner who
11:11
I talked to about it and
11:13
we pretty much came up with their name together
11:15
, the concept , and it went from
11:17
just being about juices to where mad harvest
11:20
is now , where we are a healthy lifestyle brand
11:22
and the goal is to get People to
11:24
consume warm fruits and veggies . Yeah
11:26
we start with the juices , but we then we finish
11:28
on the education . We do health coaching . We
11:31
get people in the sea malls , get them into these natural
11:33
bars as well and help them understand
11:35
that healthy Can taste good . Yeah
11:37
, healthy can be convenient and
11:40
we want to make sure healthy is a sesson .
11:43
So last thing is the , the CMOS
11:45
, like I had some Before
11:48
we started . Yeah , like what
11:50
is ? It's
11:52
a big thing . Now it's becoming
11:54
a craze in America . Yes , so can you explain
11:57
the
11:59
reason behind it ?
12:02
so CMOS
12:05
is typically harvested in the ocean
12:07
and a lot of Caribbean areas
12:09
, even on coast of like Africa
12:11
, south America , ireland as
12:14
well , a Lot
12:16
of Caribbean folks are into natural , even
12:19
a popular drink in Jamaica's
12:22
, irish moss . So Irish moss is
12:24
something that makes you a manhood strong . I got a
12:26
guy's drink it so they can . But
12:31
in the states you didn't know about it . But it's become so
12:33
popular now where ultimately
12:35
I like to compare CMOS
12:38
to like the mineral version of a multivitamin
12:41
because Quality CMOS I must
12:43
emphasize that quality CMOS when I
12:45
say that quality I mean CMOS
12:47
is being harvested off of the rocks
12:49
in the ocean . Is
12:51
Providing that plant , that ocean
12:53
vegetable with at least 92 mills
12:56
that Benefit your body function
12:58
better ? Can you explain you ?
13:00
off camera . You explained it to me and you
13:02
had me like , wow , can
13:05
you explain the difference between , like
13:07
you said , quality CMOS and then
13:09
Not quality
13:11
, or how it can be Stepped
13:14
on for a ?
13:15
better time , I'll say , compared to the fish
13:18
industry . Yeah , wild caught fish
13:20
, we have farm raised fish . They're reasonably
13:22
differently . Farm raised fish are trapped
13:24
in a contained area , not
13:27
clean . They are swimming amongst a
13:29
lot of crap and poop , so you're
13:31
not getting the highest quality in that Farm
13:33
raised fish that comes down to it . Wild
13:36
caught fish are out in the wild and free and they
13:38
are Consuming what they should consume
13:40
naturally out in the ocean . Now we
13:43
get to the water . That's the whole another level because technically
13:45
, a lot of our waters can be polluted . Yeah
13:47
, there's all spills that happen , but
13:49
we don't even realize it . But that all spills
13:51
in the water . You think somebody's coming with a wet
13:54
back to clean it up . Yeah , no , it's Trickling
13:57
, trickling through the ocean and flowing through
13:59
Everywhere . So a lot of things
14:01
are in the ocean will still be a little tense , but
14:03
ultimately , when we did CMOS , some
14:05
CMOS becomes farm raised . There are people that
14:07
Are trying to fill the demand
14:10
. So bad that they are taking this
14:12
Sea vegetable and they're growing
14:14
it in pools or they're hanging
14:16
it in the ocean and it's not truly coming from
14:18
a rock . The
14:20
rocks and the coral are Giving
14:23
or fusing the minerals in
14:25
that sea vegetable that sea plant
14:27
. So you're not pulling that CMOS
14:29
from that rock , that coral ? Then
14:32
you're not getting the maximum of
14:34
nutrient , mineral that your body will actually
14:36
thrive on , got you ? So that's what we want
14:38
to separate that difference .
14:40
The arm . The other thing is you explained
14:42
to me about the arm , the
14:46
flavoring of it , how , the
14:49
how , how
14:52
some people put food or flavor , and what
14:54
would the positives and negatives
14:56
?
14:56
so Because CMOS Should
14:59
not have much of a taste . There's typically
15:02
two main types of CMOS . When we gold and
15:04
purple , there are some that other
15:06
colors , but mainly golden purple and there's different
15:09
strains within that golden purple color . So
15:11
Typically
15:14
CMOS should have a very neutral
15:16
flavor . But I've experienced with the purple
15:18
or so that takes a little bit oceanic . But
15:21
there are people that are trying to mask any
15:23
type of oceanic taste . So people
15:25
are starting to add fruits to
15:27
CMOS to see . See , you see , mangle
15:29
CMOS . You see pine on CMOS and
15:32
that's cool for a short term . But
15:34
if you're gonna package that and
15:36
sit that on a shelf , just
15:39
the science alone behind sea moss
15:41
and fruits and shelf life don't
15:43
match up Because sea moss , once it's
15:45
in gel form , is rehydrated . It
15:47
really should be good for about 3-4
15:49
weeks . Now your fruits , unless
15:52
you're doing some extra using some extra preservative
15:55
method that'll preserve those fruits
15:57
, those fruits intermingle
15:59
with that sea moss . That shelf life doesn't
16:02
quite match up because fruits really aren't . But it should
16:04
not have high quality of them Once
16:07
it's been exposed to oxygen . That is the enemy , oxygen
16:09
. When fruits get oxygenated
16:12
it starts to deteriorate . So you keep opening
16:14
and closing the lid . That fruit is becoming
16:16
oxygenated , so you're really shorting the shelf
16:18
life of your sea moss . So
16:20
for me , when I work with sea moss , I like to tell clients
16:23
all the time look , this is unflavored
16:26
. If you want to add fruits to it , take
16:28
smaller portions out , use a blender
16:30
, add your own fruits , add like a serving as you go
16:32
, instead of mixing
16:34
all together . Now you've got to hurry and try to get that sea
16:36
moss out .
16:38
So where can people get
16:42
the bar , the juice and
16:45
the sea moss out ?
16:46
So it's actually a combination
16:48
of two companies . So Mad Harvest is an altar
16:50
to two different companies . I'm
16:52
a part of both of them , very fortunate . So
16:55
with these two companies you have Mad
16:57
Harvest that you can find online at madharvestcom
17:01
and it's not MAD but it's actually M-A-A-A-V
17:04
. You're like why you got
17:07
three A's ? Because we got triple quality
17:09
product and triple quality
17:11
service . That's why and you need to understand
17:14
that , so you can find online
17:16
locally . In South Florida
17:18
you pop up in different
17:20
farmers markets on the weekend , so you can find
17:22
this in Fort Lauderdale or you can find it in Copeland Creek Plantations
17:26
, sometimes even Parkland . See , that's the
17:28
farmers markets . But the biggest thing people
17:30
understand we deliver . It's a part
17:32
of us making this type of product accessible
17:34
so you can order online and you
17:36
can deliver product to you .
17:38
If somebody's out of state .
17:40
So , right now the sea moss . We can ship the
17:43
bars , which again we're kind of in partnership with
17:45
unaltered , but we are able to ship the bars as well
17:47
, because our juices
17:49
are not pasteurized . That's a whole other thing . We
17:52
don't pasteurize our juice . Currently . The
17:54
whole pasteurization process is something
17:56
that is necessary to be on most retail
17:58
shelves , because what
18:00
you're doing is going through a process whether it's a heat
18:02
process or a pressurized process
18:04
to actually extend the shelf
18:07
life of the fruits and vegetables that
18:09
you have pressed that juice out . Is that when cold
18:11
press means ? So cold press is
18:13
not pasteurization , but cold press is when it's the
18:15
process of getting the juice out , because you can either use
18:18
a pressing method , because you
18:20
like hydraulic force , or you
18:22
can use a blade method where you're just
18:24
basically going through and being cut up and shredding
18:26
, and that shredding process is actually getting
18:28
extracted from the juice . So cold
18:31
press is popular because during that method
18:33
you create less heat . When you
18:35
create less heat , then you're
18:38
losing fewer nutrients in that process
18:40
, gotcha . So that's why cold press is really
18:43
popular . You're getting the most banter you've got in your blood when it's
18:45
on nutrients .
18:45
So we'll make sure that we put the links at
18:49
the bottom of the description so
18:51
that people can go to your website
18:53
. That'd be dope , yes . So
18:56
before we move on
18:58
, the pasteurization
19:00
that
19:07
makes it last longer , which takes the
19:09
freshness out of it .
19:12
So I won't
19:14
say the freshness , I will say
19:16
the nutrient quality
19:18
is depleted . Some so
19:21
understand this as
19:24
soon as you harvest , as soon as you
19:26
pull a fruit or vessel , whether
19:28
it's from the tree or from the ground , as
19:30
soon as they lose that connection to the source
19:32
, the nutrients start to deplete . So
19:35
understand that from day one , once
19:37
you extract it , you pull this papaya
19:40
from the tree , nutrients
19:42
start to go down . Now
19:45
it sits on a shelf , sits in a warehouse to get
19:47
to a grocery store , you're
19:49
still losing some nutrients . So
19:51
now we go through a process where you might heat that
19:53
food up . Heat changes
19:56
this chemical structure of
19:58
a fruit or a vegetable
20:00
, so now you lose more nutrients . So
20:03
through these processes
20:05
, whether it's heat or pressure , you
20:07
lose some nutrients . But the fresh and this still tastes fresh
20:09
. They still taste good , but
20:11
is this from an actual nutrient
20:14
absorption standpoint ? You're
20:16
not going to maximize how much
20:19
whether it's vitamins or minerals
20:21
that may be in that fruit . You're not going
20:23
to maximize the amount that you possibly
20:25
could absorb because once
20:27
it leaves the ground it's been through at least one
20:30
, maybe two , three weeks before it's gotten
20:32
to you , before it's actually got to your gut . So
20:34
that's all you're losing to the actual nutrient
20:36
value . But it will still taste great
20:38
. Yeah .
20:42
Man , this is very informative
20:44
, very good , and
20:47
it was you're vegan yourself
20:49
.
20:50
So this is what's interesting about my story I
20:54
do not call myself vegan . I
20:56
completely understand the message and
20:58
the philosophy behind it . Literally understand that you
21:00
do not have to kill for
21:03
you to live . And understand
21:05
the impact of consume or creating
21:07
the more demand for animals , understand what that impact
21:09
does on the environment , but I
21:11
still will cook meat . So I
21:13
don't eat any meat . Since I told 2019
21:16
, I let go of any animal-based products
21:18
dairy cheese , eggs
21:20
, chicken , fish . Like
21:23
it's weird to me , people don't say people have told
21:25
me how many people eat fish . No , it's still flesh
21:27
. So I don't eat any animal-based
21:29
products myself , but I still cook
21:31
meat . And that's what also made some kinds that
21:33
I'm able to still cook you with chicken dish
21:36
or lamb chops or steak dish
21:38
and I don't taste it . But
21:40
I believe sometimes you know
21:42
you have a gift where you can do something
21:44
like that . I can season through smell
21:47
, through sight , and understand
21:49
that this is going to taste good . I know that I can marinate
21:51
something . I'll put together some herbs , some spices
21:53
. This is going to taste good . It's got to put it on this
21:55
dish . And also , reading you read
21:57
tons of cookbooks . You read this certain
21:59
just set flavor profiles
22:01
. You understand what goes basically goes well . You
22:03
understand what first of all , salt and pepper goes well
22:05
almost every day . So you start there . But
22:08
you understand what paprika may go really
22:10
well , what ginger may go really well . Understand
22:12
what onions if you're going to use a shallot , use a yellow
22:15
onion , red onion . You learn all these
22:17
different things from reading and then you can apply
22:19
it . So I just use that gift and that knowledge to
22:22
enhance meat dishes . So
22:24
I'm not vegan but I am plant-based Gotcha . But
22:26
I look at it this way Me
22:29
going this route helps
22:31
people to be exposed
22:33
to more plant-based dishes . They're still eating
22:35
meat , but I can get them and say , hey , you want to do a
22:37
meatless Monday or sometime ? I don't even tell
22:39
them . I say hey , just taste good , let me know what you think . Yeah
22:41
, and they don't even think about
22:43
it . Oh shoot .
22:46
Let's do it . That's good , Okay
22:48
, so , so
22:50
we wrap this up . You
22:53
have bars , you have juices
22:55
, you have sea moths
22:57
, you do I
23:00
cook in a home .
23:01
Yeah , I'm trying to go to Well , do
23:03
health coaching , because I gotta
23:05
make sure you understand this statement and I'll
23:07
even , I'll even take
23:09
the apron off this week Okay . So one
23:12
of the things that has become important to me , as
23:14
you know about my passion is food
23:16
and understand what food does . So
23:18
my message is hey , gotta
23:20
love food that loves you back
23:23
. Yeah , I want people to understand
23:25
when you
23:27
recognize , when you eat with intention
23:30
, when you eat food that has a benefit
23:32
, it will give you a better quality
23:34
of life . So it's not about
23:37
eating perfectly , but it's about making
23:39
progress towards eating foods that
23:41
can taste good and be
23:43
good for you . So that
23:45
is also part of my mission , as I continue to do
23:47
more things around food and getting people
23:49
to enjoy food experiences
23:52
.
23:53
That'sthat's
23:56
dope . That's good . You have
23:58
a passion . That's good , you have the knowledge . I
24:01
need to try one again . Which
24:03
one I didn't have ? Was
24:06
it this one ?
24:07
That's the pineapple with sea moss . Maybe
24:09
the carrots , or the carrot recharge is another dole
24:11
number . Make
24:14
sure you shake . Anytime you're doing cold press do you shake
24:17
? You see how it separates .
24:19
Yeah , yeah , shake
24:21
and enjoy . My
24:23
last question what's
24:30
your goal ?
24:35
My goal is to spend enough
24:38
time in the kitchen where I'm able to create products
24:41
that masses
24:43
, large amounts of people
24:45
can enjoy , and
24:48
then eventually are you able tothe
24:52
pineapple does the magic . I have to get into the bottle , then
24:55
eventually go from the kitchen to be able to
24:57
continue to have these conversations , to be
24:59
able to have a larger platform If it's doing
25:01
a TEDx , if it's be doing more podcasts
25:03
, but being able to get people
25:05
to understand food from
25:08
a practical lens and
25:10
help them to see how they can
25:12
just use flavor to
25:14
make healthier things , be
25:17
prepared , get people to eat at home
25:19
a little bit more Not all the time , but at least a
25:21
little bit more . So
25:24
my focus is working in the kitchen
25:26
, produce foods for more people to eat and
25:29
then being able to speak and educate and just share
25:31
information to get people to understand that food
25:34
does not have to be what takes you out your
25:36
goal . We're all going to die . I'm a
25:38
die . I get that , but
25:41
I will now let food be my killer . That
25:44
is what my mission is To show
25:46
people that food does not
25:48
have to take you out .
25:49
And if somebody wanted coaching
25:53
, does that
25:55
include , like , even if they go out to eat , you can
25:57
kind of tell them what to do ?
25:58
Because everybody is notone . Everybody is not going
26:00
to make the time to cook . I think people don't
26:02
know how to cook . It's okay . So
26:06
if you're going to go out , just make smart choices
26:08
. So what I do is for my clients . I will take
26:10
time out , no matter where they live . You don't have to be in Florida
26:12
, but wherever you are , I'll find restaurants
26:15
and look at menu , saying these are some of the top things you
26:17
want to do . Even give them lists of these
26:19
. Are foods you always want to make sure are in your middle
26:21
. So I help them understand is
26:23
the choices you want to have . These are restaurants that give that
26:25
choice and , believe it or
26:27
not , there's a lot of restaurants you can go to or
26:29
off the menu . Some people don't realize
26:32
. If you're somebody that's spending extra money
26:34
or you're going to certain high-end restaurants that
26:36
may have a price point over , like , say , 40
26:38
or $50 per plate , you can actually
26:40
tell the chef hey , I don't eat meat
26:42
, can you just do something cool with some vegetables ? You'd be surprised
26:45
at how many chefs will actually love
26:47
that challenge , because there's more , because they get to do something
26:49
else . Exactly Got you . So
26:52
you can get challenge the chef to say , can you do this and just use
26:54
these ingredients . A lot of time
26:56
about nice restaurants will do that . Okay
26:59
, yeah , but also ask the question . I get them to ask
27:01
the question hey , what kind of oil do you use ? Can you possibly
27:03
use this type of oil ? As a matter of
27:05
fact , use ghee versus
27:07
using olive oil , so
27:11
you can get clients to be
27:13
in an external environment and
27:15
make great choices in that environment .
27:18
So we wrap it up . You want to give out any
27:21
contact information athletes
27:23
, families , whatever , where
27:25
anybody can reach you at .
27:27
Well , of course , a lot of things are
27:29
done through Mad Harvest , even though
27:31
it's kind of a merger of blank canvas cooking
27:33
blood . You can find me at Mad Harvest

28:29
back on for the longest . I swear I might
28:31
do . Yo
28:33
, I'm over 40 years old . I have no problem saying I'm over 40
28:35
years old . I can't do TikTok , but
28:38
it's just another way to reach people , another platform
28:40
. So , yes , even on TikTok you can find
28:42
me there , reach out , and my
28:44
goal once again is to get people to learn
28:46
how to love food , then love them back and
28:49
just truly embrace eating in a
28:51
way that gives you high quality life .
28:54
Well , thank you , man , for having
28:56

29:14
juice is great , the sea moss is great . I
29:17
had a bar last time and I

just appreciate your
29:22
passion and
29:24
giving your knowledge out , Because
29:27
we here we're supposed

29:31
then when you don't get a detailed description , you're just
29:33
kind of like walking in the crowd but
29:36
you're kind of like breaking things down and
29:38
it all makes sense and , man , I
29:41
appreciate it . Thanks for having us . And
