Listen "37: Redneck PT Barnum; BBQ Lamb: BBQ and Brews creator here to chat about the bbq event business. "
Episode Synopsis
His hustle never sleeps it seems. A starter of things. I met Gary some 5-6 years back at one of the BBQ and Brews festivals. With the Georgia BBQ Association. He has the bbq lifestyle with his festivals and bbq vendors that work at his many events throughout the year. Some 40+ on the books for this year. Yes 40, he is aware there’s only 52 Weeks in a year, so he says…. Find out what he thinks is wrong with bbq competitions, and some of his thoughts on how to fix them. Many great tidbits if you’re considering bbq events as a course of employment. It’s all fun and games til it isn’t. Controlled chaos with this redneck PT Barnum is where he shines the brightest, if you’ve seen him in Action you know. When he’s not throwing some of the biggest bbq festivals; Gary moonlights as a wrestling promoter and fight promotor as he owns Southern Honor Wrestling & Elev8 Fight League. Plus the T-Shirt business; oh; and he’s still preaching every Sunday morning! To those of us that say we don’t have time to accomplish our goals; Gary calls BS. While we had just a short chat, he opened my eyes to what could be in life if we got up just an hour earlier stayed up just an hour later and made just one more move in BBQ. Where you would be. I’m inspired, I know you will be too. Let me know what you thought of the episode, and follow along for future episodes coming WEEKLY.
