Once a year, I go to the World BBQ Championship at Memphis in May.
It’s three days of friends, food, fun, and bad puns (like #AporkalypseNow and #MeatDrinkAndBeMerry).
You’ve heard the phrase “Put your money where your mouth is …” This year we sponsored a tent and brought some of the Capitalogix team to enjoy the festivities.
Here’s a look at what was cooking in our tent. It had Brazilian “churrasco” flair.
Our Grill Master was Blake Carson, who took a traditional Brazilian Steakhouse cooking style – and innovated upon it – creating the Carson Rodizio kit (which started as a Kickstarter project). It is a multi-rotisserie rack that converts your favorite backyard grill into an open and spinning Brazilian style Steakhouse. It’s clever, functional, and cool… and it’s been used to win multiple barbecue championships.
I love to experience an entrepreneur’s mind at work.
It’s not always about what you add. Sometimes, it is about what you take away. Less is often more.
Here is a one-minute interview I shot with Blake.
Innovation, like opportunity, is all around you.
It’s not there for you if you don’t see the opportunity, and seize it.
