I was eating in his restaurants when he was starting restaurants. He shows you the difference between things. This is what, how many restaurants are later now?

600, you know. How much food have you sold? How many times have you had a cash register for a dollar?

It's got to be in the trillion, I would think, but now I mean every time, every check, I would hope so. There's been a lot of dollars generated in the last 30 years.

That's fresh fries, crawfish. Anything you can think of, I've sold it. How important is sales in that hospitality restaurant business?

It's all about revenue, because you can always cut your expenses once you've created revenue, and that's what I tell everybody. You got to get your revenue up, because if you don't have revenue, you can't cut any expenses if you need to.

Like during the pandemic, if having high volume restaurants, did you say the plan?

That's it, that's it. It was a plan for opportunity for people who wanted to get rich, and it was a time, even though we didn't know it in the beginning, for the rich to get richer is what happened, honestly.

But it's also one of the greatest opportunities for all also.

And your career in restaurants started with your dad if I'm not right or wrong.

My dad had one restaurant, I learned how to peel shrimp, learned how to walk the line, but then I broke out on my own. I never was in business with my dad, because I was so successful after my fourth restaurant that I had on my own.

My dad said, you're making a couple of million dollars a year, why would you go risk that?

You know, and I said, because I want more, I always want more.

And you say it again, say it again in the last piece?

More, more. So is that like, do you think that the people in the room should be thinking about more as actually a strategy for success?

At some point, it has to become sport to you. And now it's just a competitiveness.

And this is a game, like people say, why do you not retire? Why do you get up and go to work every morning?

Because that's my hobby. And I tell everybody out there, God gave us all a talent.

Okay, I don't care what it is. But the first thing you got to do is find something that you like doing.

Okay, and find out that God given gift that God gave you, because as talented as we are, there's so many things I can't do.
