This BTD episode is not your ordinary Behind the Dreamers episode. This week we sit down with the not famous but notable father of Brianna, Anthony Fedele. He is a writer, film director, gourmet chef, and avid historian. Mr. Fedele is known for his strategic thinking, new product introductions, and high-profile concepts. He created the advertising campaign that launched Southwest Airlines to success. He was involved in the campaigns for many other product firsts, including the first handheld consumer calculator for Texas Instruments, the first nutritional snack food, and the first pizza home delivery system you will be familiar with, Domino's Pizza. He has been on the international judging committees for the prestigious CLIO and International Broadcast Awards. Additionally, he has received hundreds of creative awards, including Venice Film Festival, International Film Festival of New York, ADDY, and CLIO recognition for both print and broadcast.

In this episode, Mr. Fidele talks about his latest story cookbook Little Tommy Clams, why it's unique, and why he decided to write it. He talks about his experience on Gordon Ramsay's Masterchef TV Show and drops in a few other stories. Then we jump into some fun rapid-fire questions.

In this episode, you won't find many of our routine questions, and even though Mr. Fedele told us he wasn't here to entertain us, he still managed to keep us laughing. We think you will get a kick out of listening to this brief and entertaining episode of someone who has had a significant impact on the Dallas business community for over 30 years. Be sure you stick around for the outtakes at the end.

These are our friends. These are your friends. AND they are living the extraordinary.
