Today’s guest needs no introduction, but he’s getting one anyway. Bun B is a southern icon, one half of the legendary rap duo UGK, and a cultural force who’s redefined what it means to use fame for good. From the booth to the boardroom to the burger joint, Bun’s legacy is layered with music, mentorship, and movement building.

He’s taught at Rice University, stood on the frontlines of natural disasters, and created Trill Burgers, crowned Best Burger in America by Good Morning America. We discuss:
Building legacy through service, not just sound
Grief, growth, and carrying the weight of UGK
Designing a business that hires returning citizens & inspires hope
Reclaiming cultural narratives, online and off
The power of love, partnership, and staying grounded

It’s not just about great food, it’s about second chances, real jobs, and creating space for people who’ve been left out.
