In the lates installment of Now to Next, we welcome James Lawrence, nicknamed The Iron Cowboy, who is perhaps best known for completing 50 Ironman-distance triathlons in 50 days in all 50 states. This feat earned him a world record for the number of consecutive long course triathlons completed, but he still wondered if he had truly found his mental and physical limits. In 2021, after the pandemic halted his regular speaking gigs, James took on his biggest challenge yet: Conquer 100, in which he raced an Ironman-distance triathlon for 100 consecutive days, from March 1, 2021 – June 8, 2021.

Welcome back to the latest installment of Now to Next with Nick Nanton! In this episode, Nick sits down with John Rivers, Founder of 4 Rivers Smokehouse and the CEO of 4 Roots, an urban farm and agricultural education and food-distribution center, to discuss John's extraordinary work in the agriculture space. John’s path to running the most successful barbecue chain in Florida is far from conventional. He is not a classically trained chef or graduate of culinary school, but rather spent 20 years in the healthcare industry, retiring as president of a billion-dollar company in order to pursue his lifelong dream of owning a restaurant. 4 Rivers Smokehouse began in 2004 as a ‘barbecue ministry’ after John hosted a cookout to support a local family whose daughter was battling cancer. John spent the next several years smoking brisket out of his garage before opening his first restaurant in Orlando in 2009. Today, 4R Restaurant Group has 22 locations in Florida, 4 Rivers has been voted “Best BBQ in the South” by Southern Living Magazine, and John has been named a finalist for the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award two times. Through all the growth and success, John’s “barbecue ministry” remains at the heart of his company’s mission to lift up those in need and to support the local community.
