Chef Shuai Wang was the runner-up on the 22nd season of Bravo’s Top Chef and is the force behind two standout restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina—Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ—where he brings together the flavors of his childhood in Beijing and the spirit of the South in some pretty unforgettable ways. He grew up just a short walk from Tiananmen Square, in a tiny home with no electricity or running water, where his grandmother often cooked over charcoal. Later, in Queens, New York, his mom taught herself to cook—her first dishes were a little salty, but they were always made with love. And somewhere along the way, Shuai learned that cooking wasn’t just about food—it was about taking care of people. After years working in New York kitchens, he made his way to Charleston and started building something that feels entirely his own. Today, we’re talking about how all those experiences come together on the plate, the family stories behind his cooking, and what it’s been like to share that journey on national TV.

Your business is like a machine. Each engine must run smoothly, or the whole thing stalls. If you're only focusing on sales, you’re running on fumes.

In this snapshot, Carl explores why marketing isn’t just about getting people in the door. It’s also about keeping them warm until they’re ready to buy. Think of it like popcorn in a movie theater: heat them up, let them pop, and then sales take over. But if you don’t have the right engines in place, your business could burn out fast.

If you want a business that thrives beyond just making sales, you need six key engines working together, including the often-overlooked leadership and wealth engines. Miss one, and your whole system starts to sputter.

Drowning in calls, chats, and constant context switching? You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m joined by productivity expert and father of five, Ari Meisel , to unpack how to reclaim your time, simplify communication, and build a business that doesn’t run your life. We dive deep into voice-first systems, asynchronous communication, and smart use of AI, all designed to help you show up as a better business owner and a more present dad. Ari shares how he runs his business with no team, no meetings, and no chaos, while still being deeply connected with his clients, his family, and his community. Ari lays out why voice messaging beats texting across the board for clarity, emotional tone, and real-time flexibility with family, clients, and teams. He also breaks down the four tools every modern business actually needs to function without chaos and where AI can be a game-changer, and where it still falls short. Most importantly, Ari shares a powerful lens on parenting and leadership in a fast-changing world, one where adaptability and life skills matter more than rigid routines. This conversation is gold for any dadpreneur who feels the pressure to do it all. It’s not about grinding harder.
