Time to rest and recharge with @Casper. #ad As you all know, I am almost always on the grind. I can’t stop because I want to be a culinary and entrepreneurial artist and give you all some keys for success. But it’s also important to take the time to rest and focus your energy. That’s why sleep is so important. And there’s no better way to sleep than on a @Casper mattress. @Casper is a big part of the #secretrecipeforsuccess. . . #ad #rest #restatlonglast #ideservethis #friedchicken #advice #success #entrepreneur #behindthecurtain #keys #respect #inspiration #positive #positivethoughts #artistatwork #sleeptime #dreamer #pillowtalk #snooze #sweetdreams #virtualcolonel

Having an ice-cold @DrPepper #ad while I gaze pensively out the window with a fresh perspective on the world. Always take time to be quiet and reflect, especially when you can get a new perspective on the world. It’s a big part of the #secretrecipeforsuccess. It’s so important to take the time to get a new perspective. Like when you’re super high in the air and the earth looks real small. #secretrecipeforsuccess #drpepper #imapepper #privatejet #reflecting #grateful #grateful365 #humbled #friedchicken #friedchickentattoo #advice #success #entrepreneur #behindthecurtain #keys #respect #inspiration #positive #positivethoughts #artistatwork #reflectiongram #blessed #travel #virtualcolonel

#latergram Yo! I’m with Tom Green! Like what?! Life is amazing. This guy is hilarious. So cool to meet him. We were just going back and forth making jokes for a while, cracking each other up. Laughter is so important. I always seek out laughter and feel like it’s so invaluable in almost every situation. Laughter is a huge part of the #secretrecipeforsuccess. #blessed #friedchicken #advice #success #entrepreneur #behindthecurtain #keys #respect #inspiration #positive #positivethoughts #artistatwork #comedian #funny #celebsighting #fan

At Joshua Tree and feeling so spiritually awake. Being out here really has me connected with not only nature but myself. I find myself looking inside to see what’s really important. How can I be a better Colonel to not only the whole world but myself? That’s something we all should be doing—finding ways to spiritually connect with ourselves. Especially by making pilgrimages to beautiful places that put us in touch with ourselves. I encourage all of my fried chicken fam to take some time to really do this, ’cause getting spiritually in touch with your true self in a beautiful place is a big part of my #secretrecipeforsuccess. #itsallformyfans #humble #blessed #friedchicken #advice #success #entrepreneur #behindthecurtain #keys #respect #inspiration #positive #positivethoughts #artistatwork #workhardplayhard #inspired #meetandgreet #fanlove
