Entrepreneur and restauranteur Kenney Moore, founder and president of the Highway 55 chain of restaurants, began his rise to restaurant mogul in 1991 when he opened his first diner, cooking every burger by himself from morning until night in full view of his customers, giving him the opportunity to chat and bond with them. From there came his focus on fresh food, hospitality, and a unique experience that gave his customers more than a traditional dining experience. 135 restaurants later, Kenny's innovative approach proved successful.

Kenney and I discuss his journey from humble beginnings to restaurant magnate and how belief in himself and a strong work ethic were integral to his achievements. And we talk about how resilience, perseverance, adaptability, and purpose outside of yourself are key to attaining and sustaining success.

On this episode, I speak with renowned FOX News Channel anchor, Mike Emanuel. Chief Washington Correspondent and co-anchor for FOX News Live, Mike has been a fixture at the nation's leading cable news network since 1997 – the same year that the channel began its historic run. Mike's career has included coverage of major election cycle and live coverage of countless national and international stories and world events. Mike, who covered Secretary Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, was live on television in July of 2024 when then-President Joe Biden withdrew his candidacy, making Mike the first to break the news on air.

Mike and I discuss his path leading to FOX News Channel, FNC's decades-long success and dominance and how no one could have imagined when it first launched the powerhouse that it would become, and the incredible experiences that he has had covering stories both domestic and foreign. And we reflect on Mike's greatest achievements in life….his family.
