Meet Flex E: Chef

We had the good fortune of connecting with Flex E and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Flex, putting aside the decision to work for yourself, what other decisions were critical to your success?
Honestly making the decision that this is what I want to do, everyday I wake up & I go hard for my future. When starting a business you have to be determined just know that you’ll do whatever it takes to get to where you want to go even if it means doing something you don’t want to in that moment.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My journey hasn’t been easy there was definitely days when I wanted to quit & give up but I started consistent. A major lesson I’ve learned is that consistency is key. I’m not the best chef or entrepreneur but I’m super consistent with content & just doing events to make sure I’m always being seen . I’m most excited about seeing myself/brand grow, I’m only paying 1.5 years in so it’s really just the beginning for me .

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’d definitely take them out to brunch at this black owned spot called Brick & Spoon, it’s my favorite & the food is amazing. I’m not much of a club person but I love wine so a trip to one of my favorite winery’s (Lake ridge winery) would have to happen! It’s a large winery that offers free wine tasting & has a large venue outside so you can sip & just catch the vibes . The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Honestly Jason Higgins from Jupiter rings, Jason is a black owned entrepreneur out there in Arizona with his own vegan/non vegan sauce & restaurant. When I 1st started out Jason gave me the blueprint on how to operate & what I need to do. Fast forward a year later & it definitely shaped how I got here, without that information I would’ve been lost & not know what to do .
