I'm always fascinated with people who are like world class at what they do. I love comedians. I love reading about comedians watching documentaries about comedians.

I love the Gary Shandling doc on HBO. I just watched the George Carlin one. I love musicians. I love poets.

Even if I don't like their thing, I am fascinated by how people get great at a thing. This is what Robert Green's book Mastery is about. I'm a fan of mastery, right? Even sports.

Like I wasn't always super into sports, but as I've come to understand the mastery of different games, I'm fascinated by people who are great at that thing.

And food is a world that I'm not super familiar with, but am fascinated by people who are great at it. I love Danny Myers book, which I cared for at the paint of porch called Setting the Table.

People who are world class out of thing who dedicated their life to a thing. So I was very surprised a couple months ago to get an email from someone that they had heard that a guy named chef Kwame on watchy was reading courage is calling me mentioned it in some interview.

He cooked at the White House twice under the Obama administration. And he was the head chef at Kith and kin inside the intercontinental at the Wurf and DC. But his path to success was not an easy one. He grew up in the Bronx.

He sort of violent, financially precarious childhood, but his mother was a caterer and a chef. And she instilled in him this amazing curiosity. I wrote a daily daddy about this awesome story about them smelling curry in their apartment building and chasing it down.

He ended up working as a cook on an oil cleanup ship. He peddled candy on the subway to finance his first catering business. He dealt drugs also eventually graduated from the culinary institute of America. Fail that his first restaurant, but went on to open to others. And now he's the author of these two awesome books.
