Robert Irvine is a world-renowned chef, successful entrepreneur, and champion for our military and first responders. Perhaps most recognized from Food Network's Dinner: Impossible and Restaurant: Impossible, Robert has helped transform over 300 failing restaurants, and more importantly, the lives of those behind them.

Today, Robert shares how a childhood marked by poverty and homelessness shaped his view of leadership and service. He explains how food became his way to connect, serve and heal and how one unforgettable moment with a child on set changed everything. From peeling potatoes on warships to building a life of purpose, Robert's story is raw, real, and deeply inspiring.

My friends, you'll leave this episode with practical wisdom on leadership, empathy, and the quiet power of showing up for others. It's a reminder that no matter where you start, you can choose to lead with love, live with purpose, and make a difference... one meal, one moment, one life at a time.
