Motivation: His story is one of resilience, hard work, and a commitment to excellence.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Derrick “D” Hayes.

The man behind Big Dave’s Cheesesteaks. Born and raised in a tough neighborhood in West Philadelphia, Derrick didn’t let his circumstances define him. He started small, launching Big Dave’s Cheesesteaks out of a tiny gas station, but his vision was anything but small. Now, Big Dave’s is an Atlanta institution, serving up some of the best cheesesteaks in the country. Celebrities, athletes, and everyday food lovers flock to his restaurants for a taste of his signature flavors. But Derrick’s success isn’t just about business it’s about community. During the pandemic, he stepped up, giving back by providing meals to those in need. His story is one of resilience, hard work, and a commitment to excellence. Tune in as we break down how he turned a humble start into a thriving empire.
