Today’s winner of the Wright’s seasoning and sauce pack giveaway is Jeremy Luallen!

Have you ever taken a bite of a piece of meat and right off the bat you were kicked in the face with an overpowering amount of seasoning, or salt, or pepper, or spice? Can a little bit go a long way? Can we have right and wrong seasonings in our lives? Do you add flavor or influence into the lives of others? We will talk about this and more on today’s episode.

Two Barbecue Sauce History Questions:

• What famous sauce is Alabama known for? Alabama White Sauce used on poultry

• Who made Alabama White Sauce Famous? Robert Lee Gibson, or Big Bob Gibson from Decatur, AL

QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE:

Walt Disney said “Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.”

Dr. Nicoline Ambe said “As an educator, I’ve seen the positive influence that fathers have on their children.”

Scott Adams said “You don't have to be a 'person of influence' to be influential. In fact, the most influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they've taught me.”

Napoleon Hill said “Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.”

Laurence Overmire said “Each of us should be aware of the energy we are putting out into the world. Are we a positive influence or a negative one?”

Jim Rohn said “You are the average of the top five people you spend the most time with.”

Remember: BBQ is known for being low and slow cooking that produces a fantastic reward. Life as a pitmaster is the same. You have to put in the low and slow efforts to produce the fantastic reward: a legacy of impact! Until next time: season some meat, start a fire, and make an impact!
