How to Think Bigger & Build What You Want at Any Age with Keona, Founder of JK Style Grill

Send us Fan MailToday’s episode is such a treat - and not just because we recorded inside J&K Style Grill with the menus literally behind us 😂I sat down with Keona Dooley, the 19-year-old owner of two restaurants, two food trucks, a sauce line, AND the author of her first cookbook at age thirteen. Like… what were WE doing at 13? (Definitely not running a restaurant.)Keona's story is wild in the best way - built on family, faith, flavor, and the kind of ambition you don’t see every day anymore. From helping her dad in the kitchen as a kid… to taking over a restaurant before she even had algebra homework… to serving celebrities, winning wing competitions, and building a brand people travel states for.We talk about: ✨ How she knew entrepreneurship was her path ✨ What it’s like building a business so young (and the challenges no one sees) ✨ Her creative process for viral flavors (salted caramel wings?? obsessed) ✨ Why her egg rolls and waffle burgers have the whole city talking ✨ The advice Jada Kiss gave her that completely shifted her mindset ✨ Protecting your energy + choosing the right people as you growThis convo is inspiring, real, and so much fun - and if you’re someone who knows you're destined for more that just mediocre...Keona's story will light a fire under you.Pour your iced coffee, press play, and let’s get into it. 💛☕️✨☕️ SUBSCRIBE for weekly episodes on creating a life you love☕️  Leave a review if today’s episode gave you even one ounce of courage☕️  Follow me on Instagram @theblondecafepodcast for daily motivation & lifestyle inspo#personaldevelopment#mindsetcoach #winterreset#2025goals #2026goalsSupport the show
