How to Build a BBQ Empire | Mark Lambert | Sweet Swine 'o Mine

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m not going to lie - this is a total fanboy episode for me. Mark Lambert is a goliath in the BBQ world. Firstly, he’s a ridiculously successful competition BBQ pitmaster. He’s a 6 time World Champion, 4 time Memphis in May World Champion, and 2017 American Royal World Champion in Ribs. He’s also the founder of the powerhouse rub, sauce and distributing brand Sweet Swine O’ Mine. You know who I’m talking about - we’ve literally all had a bottle of his rub in our cupboard. I think I have three in there right now actually. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But Mark is so much more than just a champion competition BBQ Pitmaster. He’s an entrepreneur, a visionary, and in short, an inspiration. His work extends beyond his BBQ competition successes and his business that have grown from that. He’s also a philanthropist - he’s a cornerstone member of the one and only Operation BBQ Relief and most recently Steaks 4 Sheepdogs. He’s always looking for ways to give back to the communities that have supported him so much. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this full episode of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast, Mark and I get into: </span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why his Pit Barrel Cooker is his favourite BBQ (5:02)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">His work with Steaks 4 Sheepdogs (9:46)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">His experiences at Memphis in May 2021 (16:42)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">When and how to scale a competition BBQ team into a BBQ business (26:00)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How to be successful with the right BBQ Business Mindset (44:13)</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This episode of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcas
