Make it Happen Media Podcast

Can you judge an entire restaurant off one meal? On Episode 143 of the Make It Happen Podcast, we get into the 2 Chainz and Keith Lee conversation, Chime Time’s food reviews, and the responsibility that comes with a platform big enough to influence where people eat. Should reviewers give a restaurant another shot before posting a bad review? And do you need kitchen experience to be a credible food critic? We’re also celebrating 20 years of friendship with stories from high school football, throwing parties, first jobs, and the beat-up cars that got us everywhere. From growing up together to raising kids of our own, there’s a lot to laugh about. Plus, we’re talking mukbangs, McDonald’s breakfast, Waffle House, and why choosing between bacon and sausage shouldn’t even be a question.

Can you fix it, cook it, or are you calling somebody? 😂 This week, we debate what every grown man should know how to do, from changing a tire to handling the grill, and when paying a professional just makes more sense. We also get into being the only single friend when everybody else has kids, Mike Tyson’s rise and struggles, and why following a recipe doesn’t automatically mean you know how to cook. Plus, we settle the debate about cooking at home versus eating out. What’s one skill every adult should have, and what are you ALWAYS paying someone else to do? Let us know in the comments.

Being broke sucks. Nobody likes living paycheck to paycheck, stressing over bills, checking their bank account before making a purchase, or feeling like they're working hard but never getting ahead. In this episode, we're having a real conversation about the struggles of being broke, financial pressure, money management, and what it actually takes to change your financial situation. Being broke isn't always about how much money you make. Sometimes it's about the decisions you make, the habits you've developed, the responsibilities you're carrying, and the financial lessons nobody ever taught you. We discuss how financial struggles affect your confidence, relationships, mental health, and ability to enjoy life. We also explore the difference between being broke and being financially irresponsible, the pressure to maintain a certain lifestyle, and why so many people struggle to build wealth even when their income increases.

What happens when someone in your circle finally makes it? 💰 Your friend gets rich, their business takes off, they sign a major deal, or they suddenly start making life-changing money. Do you expect them to put the whole crew on, give you money, create opportunities for you, or help you financially simply because you were there before the success? In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about friendship, money, loyalty, entitlement, and what people really mean when they say, “Don’t forget about me when you make it.” Success can change relationships even when the successful person hasn't changed.

AI is changing the food industry, and now you might not even be looking at real food when you see a restaurant ad. In this episode, we’re talking about the rise of AI-generated food photos, menus, flyers, social media posts, and restaurant marketing. What used to require a photographer, graphic designer, food stylist, and hours of editing can now be created in minutes with AI. For restaurant and food truck owners, that can mean saving money, creating better-looking marketing, and producing content faster. But there's another side to it: what happens when the AI-generated burger, wings, pasta, or seafood on the flyer looks nothing like what the customer actually receives? At what point does good marketing become false advertising? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

You walk into a restaurant, the food is incredible, but the service is terrible. Are you going back? In this episode, we’re debating one of the biggest questions in the restaurant world: What matters more great food or great customer service? Some people will tolerate a long wait, a bad attitude, or poor service if the food is good enough. Others believe the entire experience matters, and once the customer service is bad, it doesn’t matter how good the food tastes. We break down both sides and talk about what actually keeps customers coming back. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Life gets a lot easier when you have the right people around you, and a lot more expensive when you trust the wrong ones. In this episode, we’re talking about two things everybody needs to pay attention to: building the right relationships and recognizing scams before you become the next victim. As you get older, you realize your circle isn't just about having friends. You need different types of people in your life, people who will tell you the truth, challenge you, support your goals, open your mind to new opportunities, and show up when life gets difficult. But while you're figuring out who deserves your trust, scammers are getting better at earning it. From fake businesses and investment opportunities to online scams, impersonation, romance scams, AI-assisted deception, and people simply trying to take advantage of your kindness, knowing the red flags has become more important than ever.
