In 2019, a chef who owns a food truck business transitioned to having his own financial literacy business with a mission to help entrepreneurs obtain the capital and credit they need and has already helped raise almost $2 million capital. (DaRel Daniels)

In this episode, Troy interviews DaRel Daniels from Alsace Legacy Group. He's based in Charlotte in the United States of America. Alsace Legacy Group is a financial literacy platform that helps smaller companies, LLCs, and entrepreneurs to access capital to start their businesses or help their businesses grow that need 100k to 20k to get started. As a chef, he and his wife started a food truck business in Charlotte in 2014. This was before his knowledge of how to get funding and capital. So they started using their own money. In 2019, they sold the food truck, and at around the same time he started on a financial literacy journey that kind of led to the business that they do today. The most stressful point was when one of their 2 food trucks broke down on its second day so they had to shut down and get more funding so they could shoot the equipment into another truck and get back on the road and running.
