S2 EP:32 - Chuck Matto: The BBQ Pitmaster Who Turned Passion Into 3.5M Followers
In this episode, we’re joined by the one and only Chuck Matto - self-taught BBQ pitmaster, heart-led leader, and the fire behind Chuck’s FlavorTrain. From growing up in Napa, CA, to becoming a finalist on Food Network’s BBQ Brawl and lighting up The Cooking Channel’s Fire Masters, Chuck has built a brand that blends flavor, authenticity, and purpose.
With over 3.5 million followers across social media, Chuck breaks down his journey — from playing football dreams, a stint in insurance, to the life-changing moment he got his first smoker in 2016.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- What growing up in Napa taught Chuck about culture, family, and community
- The value of family dinners and why Chuck still makes them a priority
- Mental toughness, adversity, and the role his wife played in holding him down
- The emotional message from his father - and how it shaped his mindset
- Fatherhood, mentorship, and the responsibility of men to show up
- How Chuck’s business exploded during the pandemic
- The story behind his viral rib series on Instagram
- Social media tips to grow your audience authentically
- Why LOVE drives everything Chuck does
- Plus: a new BBQ recipe drop and practical leadership gems
Glenn, Cam, and Chuck dive deep into passion, purpose, and showing up as your full self. From faking it ‘til you make it, to betting on yourself, to setting standards and leading with love - this conversation is equal parts inspiring and real.
Chuck also shares how watching Gordon Ramsay as a kid shaped his cooking style … and how staying true to who you are can open doors you never expected (even the Super Bowl).
Whether you’re building a brand, chasing your calling, or just love a good BBQ story, this episode brings the heat.
