What does it take to walk away from a dream career and bet everything on yourself?

I’m Alex Shvarts, founder and CEO of FundKite. In this episode of the Unbankable Podcast, I sit down with Chef Teach (Derrick Turton), founder of House of Mac, to talk about entrepreneurship, business funding, cash flow, legacy, and why building your own business is completely different from building someone else’s success.

Before launching House of Mac, Derrick spent nearly two decades in the music industry working alongside global artists, including Pitbull, A$AP Rocky, and Yo Gotti. Then he walked away from it all to start a food truck.

If you’re building a business, growing a brand, or looking for business funding to expand, this conversation is for you.

In this episode:

* Leaving the music industry to build House of Mac
* Working with Pitbull, A$AP Rocky and major artists
* Why legacy matters more than money
* Losing nearly $100K on the first food truck
* Turning one truck into millions in revenue
* Surviving COVID as a restaurant owner
* Why banks fail many entrepreneurs
* Business funding vs traditional bank loans
* Cash flow lessons every business owner should know
* Scaling without losing your brand
* Why relationships outperform advertising
* Entrepreneurship, resilience and betting on yourself
