That will probably be it for me, ... I'm going to go out and start another business of my own. That's in my blood.
The funny thing is while the grown-ups in the family may indulge, we really try to offer our son Duke clean food, as all his meals are made with organic ingredients as the rest of us eat cookies straight out of the freezer.
One by one, all of my college buddies had taken these nothing-special entry-level jobs, pushing papers for $18,000 or $21,000 a year (and hating the work besides), and I'd turn up my nose and tell them I wasn't about to get out of bed for anything less than $50,000. That was my line, my attitude.
Obviously, many people may remember me as the first winner of 'The Apprentice,' but prior to that, I was an entrepreneur. I started my first business when I was in college, and then getting my lucky break was when Donald Trump hired me on.
My best friend Jerry started a boat-washing business, and it was one of the most critical experiences of my life. I got to meet a lot of people who were entrepreneurs. My parents were schoolteachers, and I was now meeting people who owned companies. I realized that if this guy can do it, why can't I?
I've been a runner a long time. When I first got into it, I started doing small triathlons in Chicago, and I just did it to get in shape. When I got out of college, I put on a few pounds like everybody does. I did it when I was in my early 20s, but I never really did any long runs.
The challenging times will bring you closer together in marriage.
My son's going to have a job, and if he wants to get a car when he gets his license, he's going to pay for it on his own like I did.
Kitchen competition shows are so action-packed. They just get your adrenaline pumping.
In the years to come, I hope there will be Bill Rancic towers right alongside the Trump towers.
I'm hooked on food competition shows. It's unique, different... I definitely understand the importance of strategy.
I would love Giuliana small, medium, large or extra large and I will love her no matter how much weight she gained.
I competed in a test round of 'Kitchen Casino.' I feel like it's good to know what the competitors are going through.
I built RPM Italian, a restaurant I frequent as much as I can, because that is what people from Chicago do. They build things.
