The Chefpreneur Podcast

In this episode of the Chefpreneur Podcast, we sit down with Chef Rochelle Peoples from San Antonio, Texas to uncover her inspiring journey from real estate to running a thriving full-time personal chef business. After the 2007 market crash, Chef Rochelle took a leap of faith, starting as a catering server making $9 an hour. Through hard work and dedication, she eventually landed the opportunity to cook for a professional basketball team — including competing against the same caterer she once worked for. Her journey into meal prep opened doors to working with elite athletes and expanding her business. Chef Rochelle also shares how her sister’s battle with cancer inspired her to focus on healthy, nourishing meals. Don’t miss this powerful conversation about resilience, growth, and finding success as a personal chef!

About Chef Andres:

========================

Chef Andres was raised with a passion for food, instilled by his grandma, “Ya-Ya,” who showed Andres so much love through the food she cooked. Warm pots of soup and fresh baked bread always inspire nostalgic memories for Andres. But entering the industry after graduating culinary school, Andres found that the fine dining scene was far from the warm memories that Ya-Ya cultivated. Food wasn’t love, it was just thankless hard work. Working in kitchens of high-end hotels like The Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, and Grand Del Mar Hotels in Chicago, San Francisco, and San Diego, Chef Andres was paying his dues like so many in the industry do—working long hours, getting yelled at by stressed-out bosses, and being constantly underappreciated and exposed to the toxic culture that underlies the restaurant industry. But he didn’t want to be just another stressed-out head chef making life miserable for young cooks working their way through the ranks. Instead, he branched out on his own to start his own business as a personal chef.

Now Chef Andres is able to share the love his grandmother shared with him through the foods he loves. His business now handles 30-40 cook events per month, and he doesn’t even have to do any more of the cooking! He’s able to pay his team well and give them the lives they deserve while enjoying more flexibility to share his passion and knowledge with fellow chefs by launching Chefpreneur. After creating a business and a lifestyle that he once thought was impossible, Chef Andres feels as though he’s been called upon by God to share this knowledge with all the cooks and chefs out there who need it. Outside of work, Andres savors the freedom he now has to spend plenty of time with his wife and five daughters at their home near Atlanta, GA.

In this episode, I wanted to take a step back and open up about the journey that got me to where I am today, because it really has been a journey. As I’m sure anyone understands, there are always going to be struggles when you want to build something for yourself, and for me, those struggles have paid off better than I could have imagined.

Today I have the freedom to run my own business, the ability to balance work and spending time with my family, and the career that I always dreamed of. I could not be more blessed, but this was not always my reality. I had to start from the bottom in order to build this life for myself, and I will be sharing the full story of that with you.

As always, my goal in making this podcast is to motivate, educate, and inspire you to take action on your dreams. By telling you about my journey, I hope to encourage you to look at your own path as you work towards your dream, and understand that it’s not about where you are right now or how you started, it’s about how you finish.
