Most of his students at Culinary Concepts AB live in Albemarle County or the surrounding counties because of the high cost of living in the City of CVille.

We discussed this with Antwon. I asked him how he manages these feelings. His perspective is sooo good on this topic. Please watch this portion of the interview if you are a business owner or entrepreneurs.

(11). We talked about growing up playing team sports. We both agreed that playing team sports has a big-time impact on people later in life, especially with their ability to join a new business and contribute to a new team.
