The Untold Story Behind America’s Fastest Growing Food Truck

Season 1 · Episode 13

Tuesday, October 28, 2025 • Duration 48:14

What does it take to turn a late-night craving into a million-dollar empire? For entrepreneur Dawon Matthews, the answer was grit, reinvention and a $43,000 loan he couldn’t afford to waste. What began as an investment in a friend’s dream quickly became his own when that friend walked away, leaving Dawon to teach himself how to cook, build a menu and run a food truck with zero culinary background.

In this episode, Dawon pulls back the curtain on the untold story behind Goodies Soul Kitchen, now ranked as one of the fastest-growing food trucks in America. From serving lamb chops and fried chicken until 3am outside Houston’s biggest clubs to navigating debt, setbacks and a past that included jail time. Dawon's journey shows how resilience and vision can turn failure into fuel.

Now, with Goodies on pace to gross over a million dollars and a bold plan to expand into restaurants with a new late-night dining model, Dawon’s story is about more than food, it’s about second chances, determination and redefining what’s possible for entrepreneurs who refuse to quit.

Season 1 · Episode 12

Tuesday, October 21, 2025 • Duration 57:19

What does it really look like to walk away from the classroom and find stability in an unexpected place? For former middle school teacher Maggie Perkins, the answer was anything but simple. From low earnings at a Catholic school to facing pressure to falsify grades and working through difficult pregnancies with no parental leave, Maggie has lived the highs and lows of a system stacked against educators.

Today, she’s a corporate trainer at Costco, making nearly triple what she once did as a teacher, with benefits and stability she never thought possible. In this conversation, Maggie opens up about the hidden costs of teaching, why so many educators are leaving the profession and how she’s redefining success outside the classroom. She shares her story of navigating burnout, union vs non-union environments, raising kids while teaching and why she’ll never forget the moment she realized she could finally pay her bills without fear.

This is a raw and eye-opening look at what it means to leave behind a calling you love for the sake of survival and to discover a new path where your skills are still valued. If you’ve ever wondered why teachers are leaving, what they do next, or what it feels like to finally find stability after years of struggle, this episode will resonate deeply.

Inside America’s Most Dangerous Job: Helicopters, Hurricanes & High Voltage

Season 1 · Episode 11

Tuesday, October 14, 2025 • Duration 50:05

What does it take to keep the lights on when disaster strikes? For contractor lineman Alex Wakeland, the answer is sacrifice, grit and a paycheck that can hit over $400,000 a year. But behind the money is a reality few see: missed birthdays, a divorce rate over 80% and nights spent waiting out storms in a truck while everyone else evacuates.

In this episode, Alex pulls back the curtain on the hidden life of linemen: the invisible first responders who restore power after hurricanes and wildfires, the toll this work takes on families and the trade-offs between chasing big money and holding onto personal milestones.

He opens up about the strains on his marriage, how he and his wife made sacrifices to raise their kids and why the financial freedom of contract work always comes with a cost. This is a raw look at resilience, family, and the unseen backbone of our modern lives.

If you’ve ever wondered who’s out there fixing the grid in the worst conditions, or what it really costs to earn multiple six-figures as a lineman, this conversation will change the way you see the lights in your home.
