Show Notes
Derrick Hayes is the visionary behind Big Dave's Cheesesteaks and his story is one of grit and entrepreneurial hustle. After relocating from Philadelphia, Derrick opened his first restaurant in a tiny gas station in Dunwoody, Georgia. His journey took an unexpected turn when a chance encounter with Grammy Award-winning artist Eve propelled his business into the spotlight. Today, the restaurant chain named after Derrick's father has expanded to multiple locations and is rapidly growing through franchising. A self-made entrepreneur, Derrick has been featured in Essence, People, and Good Morning America and was named to the Forbes Next 1000 List. On this episode, we talk about overcoming challenges, never giving up and lifting others as you pursue your dreams. It's a powerful testament to how resilience and persistence can transform any vision into reality.
