Hi Archie, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Trying to support my family and break generation of wealth. Also show people my gift.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Well how I started my business which is called Taste of the Soul I am call Chef Archie AKA Chef AC Murph AKA Chef Arch. Well one of the reasons I started my business is because well first of all I love food. In my culture food dedicates love. It brings a family together and you see generation after generations gather at a table. One of the main reasons I started my business was to show people what I can do I put myself on a plate so it’s like I’m putting my heart I’m putting my love I’m putting my passion I’m putting my gift all on this one plate. Also one of the reasons why I believe I got where Im at now in business is I never gave up. I will give you a little bit more behind it and it will go with the the lesson I learned along the way. I would tell people or what I learned is never give up even when you hear a thousand no long as you get that one yes it’s worth every blood and sweat and tears you have cried to get to where you at now. What I want people to know about my brand and my story is that my brand is family meaning that I put my heart I put my love I put my passion I put myself in my brand. My brand shows people that you can have fun, laughter, enjoyment, peace, and comfort. Dinner at my table or sit at my table and it feel like that you’re at home or you have took a trip to what grandmother or your aunt’s used to cook. So when you in that moment at that pacific time it will takes you back to what you use to know when families used to get together. It’s like we having holiday meals every time you sit at my kitchen table.
