NEW EPISODE: From Drive-Thru to CEO: Lessons You Won’t Learn in Business School

Hey y’all!

This week’s episode of The Kim Gravel Show just might leave you hungry… and inspired! I sat down with my dear friend, the one and only Jimmy Stovall—owner and CEO of Corky’s BBQ, QVC regular, and (let’s be honest) the true face of Memphis barbecue.

And honey, let me tell you—this episode is dripping with gratitude, wisdom, and more barbecue sauce than a Memphis block party.

We’re talking real talk about rising from the drive-thru window to running the whole dang company. Jimmy’s story is proof that with hard work, heart, and a whole lotta faith, you really can barbecue your dreams into reality

Here’s a sneak peak:

The real secret to great barbecue? It’s the people.
This week, we dig into why success isn’t just about the product—it’s about the passion, teamwork, and heart behind it. Jimmy shares how building a strong, purpose-driven team is what truly keeps Corky’s cookin’.

Turning tough times into turning points.
Life throws curveballs, but your mindset is everything. In this episode, we explore how staying positive—even when things get hard—can help you see challenges as signs that something good is on the way.

Growth means always being willing to start fresh.
Whether you're working the window or running the show, real success comes from staying open to new beginnings. Jimmy’s story reminds us that every milestone is a chance to keep learning, evolving, and dreaming bigger.

Y’all, this conversation is packed with encouragement. If you’ve ever wondered whether your dreams are possible, or if you just need a pick-me-up with a side of slaw, this episode is for you.

Grab a napkin—because there’s a lot of sauce and a lot of heart in this one.
