Chef Ryan Peters knew it at age two. He knew he wanted to be a chef at that age! Since then, he’s traveled to and from Key Largo and Pittsburgh. Two very odd cities, two very different cities, but two cities with amazing food programs on all levels.

Oddly enough, our paths have crossed despite a 22-year difference! We discuss his newest undertaking at Iron Born Pizza in Pittsburgh, his role as the pasta chef, and his history and lineage that led him to this exact spot.

An encounter in Long Beach, CA brought Chef Brian Duffy and Rick Steele together for what would be a friendship that has been around for the last 8 years. Rick Steele is a self-made man of many things. He is an American entrepreneur and Founder and CMO of Selectblinds, LLC, an online e-tailer of independently branded window fashions. In 2016, his company, SelectBlinds.com, became the first retailer to stop selling corded custom window covering products, leading industry efforts to change manufacturer safety standards and prevent the deaths and injuries that result annually from children who become entangled in window covering cords. He is also a business speaker, philanthropist, and author of business and children’s books. Today’s conversation talks about his latest accomplishment, a World Marathon Finisher. Yes, Rick has just finished seven marathons in seven days on seven continents. This title is a massive one for Rick who believes that “the brain lies to you.” The brain said “I was done” yet I just did five more push-ups. Rick’s vision is one of the great things but the most important thing to him is his family, the ability to maintain a great home life, and a stable positive environment. That’s put Rick and his family in a great place and you can feel his pride when he speaks about his family! Follow Chef Brian Duffy on Twitter and on Facebook.

Little did I know, twelve years later, she would not only be an integral part of my business but also a friend.
