  • Episode 502: Trajan Pei of TropiTai Delights - Lakewood, CO [Part 2]. THIS Ain't YO' GRANDMA's TEA SHOP. Fisherman of MEN. GOD Uses Our TEST For The TESTIMONY of HIS KINGDOM. SNOW Season EVERY Season.
    2025/08/28
    How does a young entrepreneur navigate the immense pressure, loneliness, and uncertainty of launching a business while his peers are following a more traditional path? In this incredibly raw and inspiring episode of the JUSTIN AND THE [FOOD] ENTREPRENEURS Show, host Justin Bizzarro sits down with Trajan, the young founder of Denver's unique tea shop, TropiTai. This is a powerful, vulnerable conversation about the immense personal and professional sacrifices required to chase a dream, and a testament to the resilience of the entrepreneurial spirit. Justin Bizzarro shares exciting updates about GorillaBrave Studio's rebranding efforts as it transitions into a creative studio, which will allow deeper and more more realistic education and case studies, while adding an upgraded educational experience to Elite [FOOD] Entrepreneurs' spiritual, physical, mental, business, and emotional growth. Trajan opens up about the immense challenges he’s faced since dropping out of college to pursue his vision. He speaks with candid honesty about the loneliness of his journey, the constant fear of making the wrong decision, and the mental and physical toll it has taken—from losing weight to battling sciatica from the sheer stress and physical demands of building a business from scratch. This isn't a glamorized story of success; it's a real-time look at the struggle and the courage it takes to keep going when every instinct might tell you to quit. Discover the brilliant strategy Trajan is using to manage the chaos: breaking down overwhelming business objectives into focused, week-long sprints. One week is dedicated to financials, the next to deep cleaning and organization, and the week after to creative R&D for his next menu launch. It's a masterclass in how to create order and progress amidst the constant demands of a new venture. At the heart of this conversation is the power of community and finding your "why." Trajan shares how connecting with other local business owners has become a vital support system, a comforting reminder that he's not alone in the struggle. Ultimately, this episode is a story about choosing the hard path—the path of creation, risk, and immense sacrifice—and finding the strength within to endure, knowing that the ultimate reward is building something truly your own.

  • Episode 501: Fredrick Russell of This Turkey Here - Charlotte, TN. GOD's Demand For Resilience and Persistence in AGAPE. From Teen Trouble to Turkey Triumph. WHAT HAPPENS When HE's DONE With The Bird?
    2025/08/25
    How does a man rise from a turbulent youth, navigate immense personal tragedy, and endure years of grueling, thankless work to build a brand that is not just a business, but a legacy? This powerful episode of the JUSTIN AND THE [FOOD] ENTREPRENEURS Show brings you the incredible story of Frederick Russell, the founder of Tennessee’s beloved and utterly unique food truck, This Turkey Here. This is more than a story about food; it’s a profound testament to the power of resilience, the importance of mentorship, and the miracles that can be born from grief. Frederick shares his raw and honest journey, which began as the only boy among four older sisters in a house rocked by divorce. He found his solace and creative spark in two places: art, and his grandmother Rosie’s kitchen, where he first fell in love with the detailed, from-scratch craft of cooking. His path forward was anything but easy, marked by a series of tough, low-paying restaurant jobs, including a nightmarish two-year management training program that had him working 70-hour weeks and sleeping in his car. The conversation pivots to the heartbreaking loss of his wife’s parents—first her mother to cancer, and then her father, Michael Boyle, who had been Frederick’s biggest believer. It was in this moment of profound loss that a miracle, planted years earlier, came to fruition. Discover the incredible story of how his father-in-law’s faith and foresight provided the unexpected capital that allowed Frederick to finally launch the turkey-focused food truck he had only dared to dream of. This is a masterclass in building a niche brand from the ground up. Frederick details the strategic genius behind his all-turkey concept—a blue ocean in the crowded food truck world—and how he developed a creative menu that transformed a holiday staple into a year-round craving. He gets candid about the brutal first year of business, the discipline it took to push through when he was barely making money, and how the encouragement from his community became the fuel that kept him going. For anyone who has ever felt lost or believed their dream was out of reach, this episode is an essential listen. It’s a story about enduring the unimaginable, honoring the legacy of those who believed in you, and proving that with enough faith, grit, and hard work, you can build a truly great and purposeful life.

  • Episode 500: Ahmad Tarin of The Burger Shop - Union City, CA. From Afghan Family Potlucks to the Home of the Original Halal Smashburger. [FOOD] Stardom. FAITH + TRUST Is The THRUST FORWARD. OBEDIENCE.
    2025/08/21
    In this deeply inspiring episode of the JUSTIN AND THE [FOOD] ENTREPRENEURS Show, host Justin Bizzarro sits down with Ahmad Tarin, the passionate founder of The Burger Shop, for a remarkable story about how faith, family, and a perfect smash burger can forge a path through life's biggest storms. From his family's roots in Afghanistan to the heart of Union City, California, this is a must-listen tale of resilience and the power of community. Ahmad's journey begins not in a professional kitchen, but in the heart of his Afghan family, where massive gatherings and a deep-seated culture of hospitality ignited his love for cooking. But the spark for his business was lit in a crucible moment: just as the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world, and only a month before his first child was born, Ahmad was laid off from his high-profile recruiting job in the tech industry. Faced with profound uncertainty, he and his wife took a leap of faith, starting with nothing more than a tiny Blackstone grill in a desolate parking lot. What happened next is nothing short of miraculous. Ahmad recounts the story of a pop-up he held in a torrential rainstorm, the day after his daughter was born. Despite the weather, a massive line formed, with loyal customers traveling from all over the Bay Area. It was undeniable proof that he had created something truly special. This moment became the catalyst for going all-in, investing in a food trailer, and eventually building a buzzing, beloved business. This episode is a masterclass in building a brand with soul. Ahmad shares how the core tenets of his culture—generosity and hospitality—are the secret sauce to his success. It's about more than just profit; it's about giving a free drink to a thirsty kid, covering the last couple of dollars for a customer who's short, and treating every person not as a transaction, but as a respected member of the community. He delves into his meticulous process of perfecting his product by humbly listening to every piece of customer feedback, turning criticism into a stronger, more beloved burger. Join Justin and Ahmad for a heartfelt conversation about taking risks, the spiritual importance of breaking bread, and how the hardest moments in life can often be the miracles that propel us toward our true purpose. This is an unforgettable story about the grit, grace, and community spirit that fuels a truly great food entrepreneur.
