I believe the American dream is still
alive in fact I'll bet a million dollars
on it you my friend were labeled a loser
least likely to succeed no one thought I
would ever make it billionaire Glenn
Sterns is betting a million dollars he
can take a hundred bucks and grow it
into a million dooll business in just 90
days if it's a penny short of a million
I'll put $1 million into it but to keep
this experiment fair I'm going to do it
all undercover I won't use my name my
money or my connections win or lose in
the city of Yuri and the people who help
me get there will be
rewarded but they don't know it with a
million dollars of his own money on the
line Glenn Sterns will see once and for
all if the dream is still possible in
[Music]
America 32 days into his 90-day Journey
billionaire Glenn Sterns is focused on
opening a barbecue crew pup we want to
name it Underdog barbecue he believes he
can turn into a million-dollar business
are you with me but to get it off the
ground Glenn needs $40,000 of startup
money I'd like to make an offer on this
house which all depends on flipping a
house let's get going my goal is to buy
Fix and Flip This House in 6 weeks but
when the work began a problem surfaced
mold we need experts and I don't know
what that's going to cost
[Music]
when we pulled up that carpet and found
all the mold my heart sank I mean mold
can be a scary thing and so we're going
to go in meet with the contractor you
know hopefully he can get it all
remediated how you doing I'm Glenn Glenn
I'm Derek Master nice to meet you yeah
when we came over here and pulled up the
carpet I saw this right here which
really concerned
me yeah I'm going start downstairs I'd
like to see the U the back side of this
okay yeah this is pretty substantial
that's mold there on all the joyer it's
even starting to colonize there right
any spores down here are most likely
already gotten upstairs a mold needs to
be remediated no matter what kind it is
there long-term exposure to many
different kinds can cause some serious
health conditions so uh yeah would like
to get a quote on that okay so
eyeballing it do you think it'll be more
than $3,000 absolutely maybe $5,000 M
yeah okay this is the biggest setback
I've had this entire journey I was
looking at kitchens painting flooring I
wasn't looking at mold I don't know what
in the hell I'm going to do whether it's
black mold yellow mold or white mold I
need to treat it the quick we get
started the better I bought this house
at
$445,000 I was hoping to spend $10,000
on repairs and sell it for $85 to
$90,000 which would get me close to the
$40,000 of startup money to launch the
restaurant this mold remediation is
going to cost me another $5,000 out of
my profit on top of that we're going to
be shut down for 4 days while they treat
the mold which eats 4 days of my 15 days
renovation period I am so but if you're
going to build the American dream be
prepared for setbacks it's how you
recover that counts so I'm going to keep
pushing forward on my
business while the mold is being taken
care of I need to get my foot in the
door for what might make or break the
launch of the restaurant and that's
Ribfest since hearing about Ribfest from
Maggie at the sbdc I've done some
research and learned that this is the
Super Bowl of barbecues here in Erie
National touring teams from all over the
country come and attract more than
50,000 visitors each year with their
award-winning barbecue so taking first
place at redfest would give us the
Acclaim to Market our products
nationally and that's going to be the
difference between a barbecue restaurant
and a million dooll barbecue restaurant
I'm going to meet with Kathy Danielson
who is in charge of Ribfest to make sure
we get a spot is this the Kathy how are
you so nice to meet you this is excited
I've heard so much about you you know so
I always like I Ribfest is coming up you
know yes yeah it can be raining it can
be a storm it can be a threat of tornado
people will still stand in line for the
barbecue at the RibFest so and you got
the 50,000 people my goodness Yeah so
basically I'm starting a barbecue and
Brew House do you think there's any way
I could join the barbecue fest do you
know the chemistry behind it because
there is a chemistry there is you know
to be consistent right I'm hoping by
then you know I'll find a great barbecue
Master to really be the you know the
face of barbecue I guess so if you are
set up and ready to be out there and
telling people you're going to have a a
facility a restaurant um I have a
position for you at the RibFest I would
appreciate that we'll be set up I'll
have my place I'll have everything done
we can use another barbecue here one
that somebody comes to the other
361 days a year four days you know
they're down at the Rib Fest that's
right they're going to take yours as
they should
I really enjoyed meeting Kathy the
barbecue or Ribfest Queen you want to go
try some of their goodies we're walking
in on shots I see she's very well
connected and the fact that she'd let us
into her Ribfest is exciting news I just
melted in my mouth I think I need more
even though I'm full I am 33 days into
my 90day timeline to launch a business
not to mention to cover the $3,200 it
takes to enter the RibFest I'm going to
need cash in hand from my house by day
63 I'd like to launch my restaurant on
day 76 which is the start of Memorial
Day weekend and to be ready for Ribfest
which is day 81 if I hit these
benchmarks and win Ribfest I have a
chance at a million doll valuation but
if I miss one deadline they all collapse
so I need to sell this
house while I thought everything would
be more of an aesthetic fix I'm finding
that we need some serious Professionals
in we're going to have the mold company
come in and go head to toe in that house
and get it all fixed I wasn't planning
on ripping up the floor but since
discovering the mold we've had
to oh this is your work clo it's been a
long day of work the mold remediation is
working they should be done in a few
days the walls behind the the paint
That's bubbling um are damp so the
faster we can scrape those off of that
has to be done I'm literally in the
midst of the text message with the plan
out to the team I feel like I didn't get
much of a response back from the team
like I can do this maybe I've always
been very positive and very happy until
the last two days where reality kind of
sets in and is like we're all nuts for
thinking that that we can do this so we
have to kind of light a fire under the
team's keer but yeah
[Music]
while the flip house is still shut down
for the mold another area of the
business I need to push forward is the
beer side the other barbecue restaurant
in town doesn't serve beer to separate
Underdog from the competition while
supporting the City of Erie we need to
serve local craft beers Matt my director
of beer and I want to get the local
Brewers involved by asking them if they
will brew a house beer for us so that we
can distribute it nationally and second
we want to see if we can pour their
craft beer in our restaurant our first
stop is going to be Chris serani at the
brewery at Union Station oh fellas Chris
how's it going man do good what's your
name Matt Matt Chris how are you nice to
meet you Chris is like the Godfather of
craft beer and Eerie so if I can get him
on board I think all the others around
town will follow so what's going on got
a few ideas few things that we're
thinking about that wanted to run by you
we like throwing stuff at the wall
around here so yeah also I wanted to
show Matt some of your gear back there
sure it's pretty impressive you guys
want to take a look yeah let's do it all
right turn Rivals into Revenue Chris
serani could see us as competition
because we also want to sell craft beer
but always eliminate potential conflicts
by striking deals that are mutually
beneficial how old are these tanks they
look brand new actually they're in good
shape they're about 13 years old it's
about about how long we've been around
so started thinking why not find a way
to be collaborative instead of be a
competitor so we kind of Switched gears
and came up with a a barbecue and Brew
place okay but we don't want to brew we
want to highlight the local Brewers as
the kind of the infrastructure of the
the the bar side we'd love your help why
don't we all carry the same name brand
this uh this is kind of a national brand
for Brewers yeah and every and you guys
all Own It We own it together if that
makes sense you know you know and again
it's it's
um sorry or um and then being able to
have this kind of coop and if we pour
all of your beers and we have one beer
that we call our own made by the c local
beers Brewers I can't stop talking I I'm
rambling I'm even getting confused by
what the hell I'm pitching I'll let you
kind of take it take it from there Matt
what we'd like to do is crumb up with
our own kind of middle of the road beer
like a like an Amber ale or something
like that that we'd be able to sell
everywhere uh and then that way the the
name brand would would of the beer
itself would be able to to travel it's a
different beer one name yeah yeah then
they would say I know that beer because
all the craft guys are are making the
same recipe you know and and and I as
far as like rolling out a a joint
National craft brand I'm really content
growing within our own four walls I
don't have you know the desire the wish
to to be a national brand to dominate
the state and I think most guys in this
industry are the same exact
way so what's your opinion on um having
your beer be put into this place I'm
like all right I'm hearing a lot of
stuff going on I'm here in um branding a
beer making a beer I'm here in beer and
barbecue and being a co-op so there's a
lot of moving Parts going on focus on on
one thing whether it's a storefront with
beer and barbecue right whatever it is I
think you start there and and kind of
hone in I think you definitely have to
you know sit and and and talk this one
through I'm stressing to everyone that
this business is all about going local
but Union Station doesn't even want to
Brand a beer with us or even allow us to
scale their beers nationally right but
hey thanks again appreci see you toet
you thank you I think it was pretty
humbling to have the push back that we
did my brain when I walk into a pitch
meeting says I'm Glenn Sterns and as
Glenn Bryant I don't have the same cache
so how do you think that went I think he
thought that we were all over the board
right and we needed to really
consolidate and and make our elevator
pitch better uh I thought that we
confused him with our message because it
was too far down the road where we want
to be in five years yeah maybe we should
have started with step one if we can get
in and become a customer and show them
that we want to promote their brand we
should build loyalty that way yeah I
have to regroup and streamline this
pitch because without local Brewers this
isn't going to work if we don't get
Chris on board it could really hurt us
Chris is the Lynch pin to this whole
[Music]
thing billionaire Glenn Sterns is
flipping a house in hopes of making
enough startup money to Launch business
that's mold there I don't know what in
the hell I'm going to do after shutting
down work to remediate mold we want to
highlight the local Brewers Glenn
shifted his focus on securing beer
Partnerships for his restaurant focus on
on one thing but bomb the pitch to the
local Brewer I think he thought that we
were all over the board Chris is the
Lynch pin to this whole
thing we struck out in our pitch to
Union Station Brewery but securing beer
for our restaurant is just one side of
the business we still have to lock down
a pitm who's going to run our kitchen
and lead us to victory at the RibFest
competition with 50,000 attendees
Ribfest is the best exposure we could
ask for I mean this is rib stock R rib
AA ASE of barbecue RJ has lined up some
meetings with some pitmas candidates
Glenn hey Mike nice to meet you I heard
about Mike from the local barbecue group
what's up sir good to see you CLE he's
very well known guy in an area I've
known him for a long time personally I
see him in the mornings at the gym
that's how you know I kind of got to
know him this is Christine hey where are
you she owned her own barbecue
restaurant you know where she's from in
Titusville about hour or so outside of
eie how' you get started I've been
cooking for 10 years and I've always
loved to experiment just doing smoking
on the farm and I had an opportunity to
get a big smoker and get some restaurant
equipment I got into barbecuing first by
accident really I started watching shows
and like who I have one of those I can
do that you know for what your your pull
pork and I don't brag about too much but
my pull pork is pretty darn good oh yeah
I make love to it
man that's right my my thing with
barbecue is you don't want the rub to
overpower the meat you don't want the
sauce to overpower the meat the star of
the show in barbecue has to be the meat
from the minute I met him I absolutely
love CLE they say work your way up in
proteins but I said nah I got to go
straight to the brisket spices just like
wines the different environmental
conditions changes I did have a barbecue
restaurant um I did pastrami brisket
pork chicken turkey I smoked desserts
cheesecakes vegetables really cakes on
between places I have all my equipment
still Christine's got it all she has
owned her own restaurant great candidate
where have you been in that food chain
of you know chef so to speak I have
never cooked in a commercial kitchen in
my life the only downfall with him is he
doesn't have any kitchen experience as
far as working in a restaurant I've been
a head cook have you ever done a
traveling team or anything um even
though I don't really do it
professionally I'm looking to add
competition style smoker okay Mike's
Barbecue knowledge is there and he's not
afraid to try new things which could
help us stand out in the competition
have you ever done any of those contests
or any of those I never had time to do
them I was so all consumed with the
restaurant I never did any competitions
or anything like that Christine has the
most experience all right thanks again
yeah appreciate it but it's going to
come down to the taste test between
Christine and Mike thanks again
absolutely CLE doesn't seem to have the
same level of experience but his
personality and passion for barbecue are
assets that I know we don't want to
throw away we're not just trying to
create a restaurant you know we want an
experience you know and he really
represents that y maybe he leads the the
front end of the house if you spot
Talent find a place for it on your team
if a spot doesn't exist create one I'm
excited with the outcome well good what
a good day yeah thank you I appreciate
it
yeah so we have here an office space
that I am hopeful uh will be uh
something that will work for you oh this
is perfect Business Development Centers
are a free resource in many cities
around America yeah yeah this will work
great and eies spdc has been so helpful
to me what a milestone having our own
office today where I can bring the team
and we can start to fill the walls with
our ideas and we can really focus we
don't have much time and now we have a
space that everybody can come to and we
can collaborate together I'm glad that
this will work for
you knock knock hey since RJ owns a
clothing line and has experience in
branding I asked him to give some
thought on the logo design they say when
you want something done give it to a
busy person so yes how's the logos and
the design work go good good we got uh a
couple different options branding is
more than just a product it's what the
product means it's about figuring out
how you can connect with people and make
it real make it feel personal I mean
when I think of the grill it seems like
that's kind of the cheesy everybody has
barbecue grill but this is the one I
like the most to read wow big and bold
the Bulldog speaks to the brand
absolutely love it less is more when it
comes to branding you don't want
anything that's too illustrative and
some of the other ones were more
cartoonish and then here's a couple
variations of that I love it I mean the
pride of eie why don't we put him up
here on the wall I mean let's start
marking our territory so to speak what
do you think I like it I could see
people wearing the
dog in the dog house the Bulldog it's
strong it's stocky it's resilient it
fits perfectly with what this town is
about it fits perfectly with what the
whole team is look at dawn she's an
underdog right I single mom you got RJ
he's had issues in the past he's fought
through I think he did a wonderful job
this guy is friendly he's tough he's
smiling he's a bul
[Music]
[Applause]
dog RJ's found a restaurant that's
closed today where we can host start
tasting and I've asked our marketing
director Chris Norris to join us as well
there he is good afternoon good
afternoon how we doing how we doing all
how you doing buddy this is Chris Chris
good to meet you CLE Collins good to
meet I had to find a way to keep cleat
in the mix so arj and I decided on a
roll for him that might be perfect
absolutely you know me you know people
we'd love for you to become the front
man of Underdog barbecue at
Ribfest the front man at the RibFest
gets the crowd excited to taste the food
and he makes the people this great
experience since cat's an important face
of the operation I've asked them to sit
in and help us evaluate the pit Masters
we got Christine coming in here she is
how you doing good to see you good how
are you man Christine she bought bags of
food literally she was nervous and
excited at the same time so you are
pulling the pork I put this on about
11:00 last night and I pulled it just as
I was walking out the door very girl all
right what is this one the brisket the
brisket this is Texas Twinkies it smells
amazing it might be a little spicy the
Bacon's good too
uhhuh are you telling me there's bits of
bacon in the bacon in how good is that
it's amazing I like feeding people
because when you cook good food people
smile I like to see people smile guys
you see there should have been a bark on
that brisket the same with the ribs it
should have been more of a mahogany
color do I think she can do the job I
think so if she's willing to change
thank you again
yeah this is awesome I could see her
running a kitchen I could see her
barking orders there he is hey hey how
you doing what up hey guys how are you
see you we do have a little bit of
brisket you know dig in we got to see
Michael he's kind of like the barbecue
nerd this is a variation on my signature
sauce I did it a little bit different
today just because you know something
special for you guys so like he kind of
just sits by his smoker at home in his
free time and and does research and
experiments and this and that and he
knows his stuff I sear it a little bit
so just to kind of lock in the moisture
and then a little bit of mosquite but
not too much cuz I didn't want anything
too heavy I think you have some ribs is
that right no I didn't bring any ribs
okay I thought you did I'm sorry maybe
maybe I missed that it was here and
here thank you for taking this time
thanks Mike Mike's brisket was
phenomenal it pulled apart perfectly you
could pick it up it was very good what
do you guys think I could have thrown
those on a bun and just like bathed
myself in that was those were good man
I'm telling you he showed us the one
dish that he really knows how to make
and so it scares me that he's not
confident enough or prepared enough that
he would bring any other dishes we
enjoyed the fact that Christine brought
all her food she's got a depth of
knowledge by running a kitchen but I
don't think you were as impressed with
the food the food which is obviously
very important I didn't think any of the
meats were like mind-blowing for me but
I thought some of her items are very
unique what do you think GJ foodwise I
agree with him I see the potential
because there's always room to improve
yeah between Christine and Mike we're
favoring Christine because she has a
broader set of skills but there was room
for improvement her food so as long as
she's open to constructive criticism and
I think we found her Pit Master
everybody can make adjustments on things
right so I think we can help her with
that adjustment right now I feel really
relieved I hope that Glenn is happy with
where at it's taken a lot of time a lot
of work pleasure's always SE yep as far
as I'm concerned RJ hit it out of the
park we made a gigantic leap
[Music]
forward to launch his million-dollar
business yeah this is pretty substantial
Glenn Sterns is flipping a house for
startup funds I was looking at kitchens
painting flooring I wasn't looking at
mold you know I don't know what in the
hell I'm gonna do after being shut down
5 days for mold remediation Glenn only
has 9 days left to complete Renovations
and get the house on the
market well this mold really set us back
you know it's been remediated so we can
get back to work ready to work man up
man how you doing good to see you I need
40 Grand to launch the restaurant after
getting the mold bill I see that I need
to push these bills down the line I have
30 days to pay this bill and I'm going
to take every day of it so this room is
probably going to need the most work
because kitchen's are process we're
going to take down the rest of this
laboard and leave the ceilings exposed
if you want to get the dishwasher out
that would be stupendous as well here we
[Applause]
go Glen had a $10,000 budget thinking it
was all going to be cosmetic and yeah it
could have been done if it was all
cosmetic I could have made it happen on
a $10,000 budget I feel really
overwhelmed because it's a very short
time frame but it'll come together it
will we're not the underdog team for
nothing we got a great team behind me
without them I'd be dead in the water
but with little Manpower I still have to
finish the demo and paint the walls
replace the floors and put the kitchen
back together all within 9 days to get
this sold in time otherwise I might as
well pack it all up and go back
home not only am I eating up money on
the flip house I also just paid rent and
that pickup truck is sucking gas like
you wouldn't believe I can't help but
feel that any money I have is flying out
the
door and even though the house isn't
done yet I have to get moving on my next
big project finding a commercial space
for the restaurant I have to open the
doors in the next 5 weeks I can't
remotely afford it but I have to figure
out a way to make this
work I'm going to call this commercial
real estate agent and see about a
possible
space Pat hey Pat this is Glenn I'm uh
just inquiring about your space on State
Street and 12th uh we were thinking
about putting a restaurant in there are
you going to have be serving beer too
yeah So eventually beer didn't know if
you might have some ideas have three
spaces downtown that I have for lease
the one that you called about but I
think you might just be limited sizewise
You' probably prefer to have something
that would be more TurnKey well I would
I look at some of these like Jael and
hides and I go wow what a perfect loc
you know like you know obviously you got
ones in the tap room and things that got
Hy would sell for the right price you
think so yeah he would I've talked to
the owner many times about that that's
great could you set up a meeting for us
to talk yeah that's fine Perfect all
right hey it was real nice yeah nice
talking you nice talking with you all
right take care we'll get together thank
you but if I could figure out a way to
get in in a lease and then if I could do
a longer term uh deal where I'd buy it
I'd love to buy the build you know
that'd be wonderful now I just got to
sell a
house well we're headed over to the sbdc
I'm going to meet Matt Sanders we
pitched Chris serani the other day from
Union Station and it didn't go very well
actually went terrible with my companies
I'm used to thinking up big ideas and
having my team put it all together but
everyone here thinks that I'm just a guy
from Baltimore who wants to start a
business they have no idea that I've
been down this road before and then I
see a bigger picture we need to
streamline this pitch my idea of the
elevator pitch since I spent last night
thinking about it was we want to
celebrate eerie
and focus on being hyper local and that
means we'd like to take your beer and
pour it in our restaurant yeah I think
it's that simple if you're interested
then we want to be able to buy a keg off
of you and if it's popular we'll buy
more kegs off of you right the only
other added part of the pitch I think we
ought to do is we would like you to help
work on a beer that we are going to call
our own right a beer that that you brew
that we'll buy and we're going to label
it and we want to buy that from you so
we've streamlined our pitch down to two
basic things one we want to be able to
pour their beer at Underdog barbecue and
two we want them to brew us a house beer
that we can call our own and sell in the
barbecue restaurant so now we're laser
focused and we're going to know in 5
minutes we're going to know in 5 seconds
right what's really important is the
focus okay less is more cut out any
information that's irrelevant be clear
with what you want and stick to the
essentials so I'm headed to the jeelan
hide building to meet the owner and also
to meet Pat the realtor so what I'm
hoping to do is sit down and negotiate a
lease number that we can both you know
agree on and I know the market is around
$4,500 to lease so I'm hoping I can
strike a deal with him and I can you
know get my business open in the next
few
weeks hey guys Glen how's it going Jason
nice to meet you you guys yeah yeah what
I see and what I love about about your
place here is obviously one of the
busiest Corners in all eie and the back
half is is a restaurant and that's what
I'm really focused on right is building
out a barbecue restaurant and that can
have a different look and feel right so
what do you think you're going to land
at to allow us to come in here and Lease
the place the benefit of this place the
minute you take it over you start
putting money back in the bank there's
other places you you have to build to me
I mean i' be somewhere like around six
grand a month six grand a month yeah I'm
in that position okay right I can keep
the place and I'm I'm good let's say we
landed at 4: am I still here no yeah I'm
sorry for me I mean you're coming to me
the place was not listed for sale what
is your
thought on
$4,500 I'd like to stay at
six wow that's too
high what is your thought on
$4,500 I'd like to stay at
six wow what happens if this deal falls
apart I'm probably screwed to be honest
with you you know the other thing that's
important to me is an ability to have an
option to buy because again I don't uh
want to just get into something and then
all of a sudden the lease goes up or you
sell the building and then somebody else
decides they don't want a bar in here or
they don't want a restaurant in here uh
that could be problematic for me as well
I'm open to that okay I'm open to it so
we could escalate this to get to your
number and start at a lower number where
Glenn can make it feasible in year one
year two and then maybe 3 to five is
closer to where Jason needs to be or or
cut it down the middle and meet in the
middle I was at four you're at six just
meet in the middle of the whole way down
what I've always found is you know when
you do a deal both sides have to feel a
little pain I'd be open to that all
right so that sounds good a 5,000 a
month lease is where we will land
meeting him down the middle feel
little more than I want it to go but at
the same time I think it's probably a
little less than he wanted okay all
right put in writing through happen
thank you thanks apprciate now that this
agreement has been made we need to
finish and sell the flip house because
until that happens I won't have the
money to pay the
lease next we're headed to go meet our
new Pit Master Christine Christine
really impressed me so RJ and I need to
make sure that she's on board with our
vision Hi how are you I'm good how are
you all right good you know we didn't
think hers was the right style of
barbecue so our next step with Christine
is to sit down and say we'd like to see
a little more Char on this we' like to
see it fall off the bone and different
things like that that I hope she can
step up and do if she's going to take
offense to that then we've got a problem
there is RJ knock knock so where did you
go RJ up the street I brought the the
food in because I wanted her to see
firsthand what others people's look like
so this barbecue is from our number one
competitor and we want to make sure our
barbecue is as good or better what have
we got ribs brisket right she needs to
be very knowledgeable of look taste and
what people can get right up the road
from us is there anything Sunday that
you tried that you thought I should
improve upon well what I would say that
feeling of Tu and more fall apart okay
yeah and only CU I believe everybody
have ever heard when I hear them they go
oh my God fall off the bone and now
that's that's the center it falls off
the bone I can make it fall off the bone
I felt a little nervous about critiquing
her barbecue and I didn't know what kind
of push back I'd get look at how it has
that Char on the outside but it's so
tender on the inside yeah it's it's it's
called a crust yep all right how are
they doing it you're going to get that
with spices gotcha and maybe a little
bit of higher temp the main part of it I
mean if we're going to make all the
money off the ribs like that yeah no
it's not criticism like give me yeah
give me that she listened and she said
okay I can I can change and I can
correct and I can make a barbecue that
looks like our competitions are you
willing to help us develop that menu
absolutely very impressed with you
impressed with you know what you where
you came from your story and we want you
to be a part of the team
and I'd love to have you you know really
represent us and I would love to help
you make this dream come true well thank
you oh I wanted to cry I wanted to cry
when he said it now give me hug very
excited it's a huge experience for me
and it's life changing hey I'm very
excited I am too yeah it's going to be
fun be an adventure I can't
wait our first pitch with Chris serion
was a bust but in business you never
give up we really need to serve his beer
in our restaurant so we're heading back
to give him the reworked pitch there
what's going on hey how are you how you
doing Chris good to see good to seeing
you's going on Chris good to see you
again how you fellas how you been the
word no is only the start of a
conversation all successful businesses
have been told the word no more than
they've heard the word yes someone once
said no to me on a very crucial deal but
instead of taking the no I took a red
eye flew all night across the country
got in front of them and turned that no
into a yes you know we wanted to pick up
on the conversation that we had with you
the other day which I think was we felt
a little overwhelming a little bit threw
a 5-year plan at you in 15 seconds you
know and I know I came in hot thinking
this is be fun and this will be you know
really easy it's not that way obviously
and so I've um personally ate a little
crow and and realized how much I I
respect and appreciate what you guys do
oh thanks so we want to go and and and
still have a relation relationship with
the local Brewers sure we would be
honored to be able to pour your beer
because we want the reciprocation right
we want to be able to have you come in
and go you know they've got great
barbecue and hopefully we do because
that's the whole idea right is going to
be shortlived uh dream buddy exact how
do you feel about us selling your beer
in our restaurant um
I'm quickly running out of money so I
need every penny I can get to finish
this house this was the radiant heat
that went throughout the whole house and
so there was water in these pipes and a
lot of them burst and copper is very
expensive right now so I'm going to take
this down to the recycling plant and
make some money I'll take what I can get
the last time I was at the junkyard I
was basically digging for Treasure so it
feels pretty good this time come and
give them something I am moving on
up I got myself some old copper radiator
piping
here how' I do D you got 13440
$134 I'll take
it there you go hey thank you you have a
good day hey you too
thanks finally I'm getting something
back from that damn house that has cost
me so much pain
how do you feel about us selling your
beer in our restaurant
[Music]
um I love to we love great Partners we'd
appreciate that I want to go out and and
support the guys that are supporting us
so we'd love to have our product that's
the idea then on our our our second
thought and request would be to come up
with a beer that you could make that
would be a beer that's our house beer
you know something that we could just
call our own for our opening and serve
it just at the underdog barbecue
restaurant is that something that
appeals to you would you be interested
in making that beer for us sure yeah I
appreciate it do you have any ideas for
us on that yeah so I mean as far as
product I think you know a blond Dale we
make a great Bond you know we take that
beer and either tweak it or or do
something fun that would be perfect for
you know barbecue it's accepted by you
know a lot of locals I think it'd you
know be a great beer to launch with okay
well good I like that idea thanks it's
going to have to be brewed by Chris it's
going to have to have Chris's name on it
as well and that's okay you know I don't
mind that I think we're going to both be
able to get a nice beer and everybody
will win one last question Chris how
nuts do you think that I am on this I
don't
know I don't know
[Music]
I've scored some wins for Underdog
barbecue but our new business can't open
and become successful unless I sell this
house so I need to check on the house
and make sure that dawn has whipped this
thing into sell in
shape
holy what the hell so I walked in and
all this I mean this house is not
anywhere near ready to be flipped it is
so far from being done I am just beside
myself I thought it'd be a lot further
along by now everything relies on this
house being able to be flipped if I
don't flip the house I don't have a
restaurant and if I don't have a
restaurant I have failed completely so
you know I have to get this done very
quickly or the whole dream is gone
hi holy cow I do have a little timeline
concerned when do you think we can be
finished at the house I would like to be
finished yesterday okay and if not
yesterday when do you think we'd be
finished definitely not tomorrow um I'm
hoping to meet the deadline but some of
the team has been here to help and but
it's only been for a few hours at a time
and I'm trying to squeeze in my
jobs I don't understand what the rush is
because rushing something is pretty much
setting yourself up for failure you know
I've I've pushed Matt towards the beer
right and he's running towards that I
pushed RJ towards the barbecue and and
the RibFest which is a huge telling me
about it the other day in itself and
then I've been working on our location
right right and then and I totally
understand I don't need the team no no
but I this is important to have our us
meet the deadline so that we can so
because we have to turn around and flip
it we need to fix it and move on even
though part of me was like walk away now
he asked for my
help and I'm I committed to it and I
made a commitment and I'm going to see
it through I will make sure we have
enough people here that we get it done
we have to I okay I mean it's that
important and I'm going to make sure get
the rest of the team here we'll figure
it out all right I feel bad you know I
watch Dawn she's almost crying cuz she
the weight of this house is on her right
we'll figure it out I heard I care a lot
and I just have surrounding myself with
great people my whole life thank you so
much for all the hard work you're doing
you know I mean really it's been
just crazy I want it to turn out really
good for people I want people to be
proud out but I don't like that um not
really um I'm kind of making people
stressed and it's not what I want to do
you know all right all right cool after
you but while I'm pushing my team hard I
know they will be rewarded in the end if
they just stick with
it I'm officially at the halfway point
and I'm nowhere near where I thought I'd
be you need anything green I am going to
look like a complete idiot in front of
all of
America the most ironic part of this
whole experience is that I'm really good
at real estate and now here I sit with
this flip house this money pit and I
can't figure it out and it feels like
all I'm doing is letting down my
[Music]
team on the next episode of undercover
billionaire Glenn pushes the team hard
if you want to be successful
you're a bulldog yourself but continues
to hit roadblocks this is going to be my
least favorite phone call I'd say thanks
but then I'd be lying just when he
starts making progress things are
progressing rapidly here at the house
new problems arise I am nowhere near
where I thought I'd be just need a
minute with only 45 days left Glenn
Sterns will have to fight to build his
million dooll business it's okay you
know what no it really does suck do you
think I'm crazy
