You're listening to the Creating a Brand podcast.

I'm your host, Alex San Felipe.

I'll tell you what today's guest is going to make you want to go out and eat some great

food.

That's because it is none other than celebrity chef Kenny Gilbert.

At age 18, Kenny started working for Ritz Carlton

shortly after he was running their fine dining department. But he didn't stop there. He went on to

go beat Bobby Flay. That's right. He beat Bobby Flay. He didn't just go on the show beat Bobby Flay. He

actually beat him. And he was also featured on Food Network stars season seven and on Cutthroat Kitchen and many other

food network TV shows and series. Really cool, very accomplished. But I think probably one of

the coolest things that he's doing and has done is he's Oprah's private chef. That is so

cool. He's cooked for Oprah. I think that's one of the coolest things ever. Oprah, by the way,

if you're listening, I would love to have you as a guest and have the opportunity to interview

you. Side note there. But let's go back to Chef Kenny now. Very accomplished. And I love this

episode because he gives practical advice for life and for business success. He's seen a lot of

success throughout the years, but he's also lived a very fulfilled life. And I love seeing people to have that

great balance and are able to do more than just maybe build their brand or create their brand all

the time. They're also able to live a life that they enjoy and have just had a good time with. And

Chef Kenny is definitely somebody that I feel that I can learn a lot from and I believe it's

to be the same for you. I'm also excited by this episode, though, because Amy West is back again.

She is going to be conducting this interview with Chef Kenny,

and I'm very excited to hear their conversation.
