Q&A With Byron Rideaux

What are you doing with YOUR life?
"Right now, I am persuing a life long dream of owning my own restaurant. After college, I listened to other people instead of the desires that God placed in my heart and have not been very happy or successful. Last year I decided to step out in faith and do what I should have done 13 years ago. Lost a very important relationship as a result of it, but have been successful in culinary school and my job that pays the bills. So I can say that I have been following God and winning." Interviewed by Lorneka Rahming-Joseph 12/05/10

How do you define failure?
"I would define failure as giving up. As long as you are trying, you never fail." Interviewed by Antoinette Robinson 10/10/10

Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
"In the next five years I see myself with my own restaurant and catering business. Hopefully with a couple of rental properties as well, but for now, a restaurant." Interviewed by Tanya Franklin 10/01/10
