My next is guest Kevin Bludso, we go all the way back to the Hoodie Awards in Los Angeles, CA, before he opened Bludson’s Bar and Que on LaBrea in Los Angeles. Kevin is a chef, television personality and two-time Steve Harvey Hoodie Award Winner. In 2008, he opened Bludso’s BBQ, and it has since grown into an international empire, with Bludso’s Bar & Que on LaBrea, a concession stand at the LAFC Soccer Stadium, a location in Proud Bird by LAX, and a sprawling restaurant and bar called San Antone by Bludso’s BBQ in the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia. The legend of Bludso's BBQ begins in Corsicana, Texas, where the Bludso family has been perfecting the craft of slow-smoked meats for five generations. But while his family roots are laid in Texas, Kevin Bludso was born and raised in Compton, California. Now he is a television star, you can catch him judging on Netflix's “The American Barbecue Showdown.” Please welcome to Money Making Conversations Kevin Bludso.

 

My next guest Randy Williams is the President of Talley & Twine, a company that designs and manufactures luxury watches and accessories. Since starting the company in 2014, Randy has gained national media attention with features in Men’s Health, Black Enterprise, Huffington Post, Essence, Blavity, New York Magazine & Cosmopolitan. The company’s name comes from an intersection that was formerly the center of a notorious, crime-ridden neighborhood in Virginia. In recent years, the neighborhood has been completely revitalized and those same families now have the opportunity to own. A place with a dark past now has a bright future; Talley & Twine represents that future. It's not about how you start, it's about how you finish. Please welcome to Money Making Conversations Randy Williams.
