Eight-time Culinary Olympic Champion Chef Charles Carroll joins Aging GreatFULLy in this timely show titled “Holiday Feast Hacks, the Secret Recipe and Chef Carroll Wisdom.” My guest today has a unique perspective on success, greatness, and what it takes to create world-class teams. Chef Charles Carroll took his first Culinary Olympics gold medal at age 24 and has participated in eight different Olympics over three decades. As executive chef at one of the highest-rated country clubs in the nation, he manages and mentors a team of seventy-five, in six kitchens and three restaurants, putting out eighty to a hundred banquet functions per week — and maintains an unshakable sense of team morale and family spirit in the process. He travels the country giving inspirational talks to young people on the Ingredients of Greatness.

In 2011 Chef Carroll founded Operation HOT (“Honoring Our Troops”), putting on a series of Vegas-style shows and presenting a home-cooked Cajun meal for thousands of U.S. troops in the middle of a war zone in Afghanistan and giving away more than seven tons of gifts. Chef Carroll was personally commended by for his work U.S. Presidents Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, and was invited by President Obama to a White House reception. In 2013 he was awarded the Honorable Order of Saint Martin by the U.S. Army for his work.

And in his spare time, he’s written a book — a “culinary parable,” he calls it — with The Go-Giver coauthor John David Mann. How does he do it all? And more importantly, why does he do it? It’s all in this power-hour of enlightenment on Aging GreatFULLy as we learn more about what I call CHEFisdom, Chefisms, and how to easily create the most amazing holiday feast of your lifetime, with tips and hacks from the chef himself! Join us for this fun and enlivening conversation about the secret recipe in the kitchen…and life!
