Summary: [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<br> <a href="http://vernonross.com/93"></a>   THE RECIPE, by Olympic gold-medalist Chef Charles Carroll and New York Times bestselling author John David Mann, is a tale of heartbreak and redemption.  It should be considered, a meditation on great food and secrets of the kitchen.  If that's not enough, this work as a life manual, all wrapped together into one compelling, un-put-downable story.<br> It really blew me away! George Foreman, you know the former world heavyweight champion and the Forman Grill Pitch man has declared it “An instant classic.” Michael Port, the television actor and bestselling author of The Think Big Manifesto and Book Yourself Solid, calls it, “A blueprint for transcending limitations and living a big life” and adds, “The Recipe will speak directly to your heart and help you find your way.” My guest today is the book’s coauthor, Chef Charles Carroll, executive chef of the prestigious River Oaks Country Club in Houston, Texas. Chef Carroll has a unique perspective on success, greatness, and what it takes to create amazing teams.<br> He took his first Culinary Olympics gold medal — the first of many — at age 24 and has participated in eight different Olympics over three decades. As executive chef at one of the highest-rated country clubs in the nation, he manages and mentors a team of seventy-five, in six kitchens and three restaurants, putting out eighty to a hundred banquet functions per week — and maintains an unshakable sense of team morale and family spirit in the process.<br> Needless to say, I feel lucky to have had him visit the podcast to talk about the process of writing The Recipe and the lessons it contains.<br> Connect with Chef Carroll:<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>  <br> <br> medianet_width = "728";<br> medianet_height = "90";<br> medianet_crid = "252233835";<br> medianet_versionId = "3111299"; <br> <br> <br> New Partnership: Media.net<br> As you know I'm always working to bring new sponsors to the show that will provide value and help your business.  That's why in October whilst attending Fincon (Financial Bloggers Conference) I met up with the people from <a href="https://media.net/vernon">Media.net</a> to talk about how they could help me and my audience.<br> So here's the great thing about Media.net, the support it truly over the top.  I've dealt with ad networks before that would provide contextual ads or ad blocks that either was very intrusive or took too much work to get the ads to be relevant for my visitors, and not just a cookied ad that followed them around.  Admittedly I was reluctant to introduce an ad block or any sort of ad to my site until looking at some of the people Media.net was working within the blogging world.  Once I saw blogs and the people I respect were Media.net Ambassadors I was in!<br> So all I'm asking of you as a visitor to the site and as a listener of the podcast is that you check them out via my link and give a few of the ads a try.  Just click on the link to go to my custom page <a href="https://media.net/vernon">https://media.net/vernon </a><br> Our featured sponsors for this episode Are: <a href="http://podbean.com/VR">Podbean.com</a> &amp;  <a href="http://videoblocks.com/ross">Videoblocks.com</a><br> More Than Sponsorship<br> As you all know Podbean is a long-time sponsor of the show and of my Podcast.  Not only does Podbean sponsor the podcast they're one of my best clients.   That's right a client!  When I first started using Podbean as a podcaster, I had been having some issues with my website and my feed.  Mostly because my feed address was my site address.  If you host on WordPress and your site goes down for any reason or gets hacked (both happened to me) your Podcast is ...
