Influential Barbecue: Recent Episodes
The Backyard Brisket
A weekly podcast focused on talking to influencers in the barbecue industry, uncovering how they’ve cultivated huge followings, unique income sources, and sponsorship possibilities from a love of cooking over fire. Hosted by Jordan Moore of @thebackyardbrisket
It can be a challenge to stay motivated and positive when you're spending your time and energy chasing a big goal or dream. That's why I wanted to put together a short episode talking about how celebrating your small wins can help keep you in good spirits!
In this short solo episode, I talk about the importance of celebrating those small wins that may seem insignificant in the big picture, but are more important than you may think!
