I'M YOUR HOST KATE QUICKEL.

ARTIST ADEWALE ADENLE, KNOWN TO HIS FRIENDS AS WALE, GREW UP IN LAGOS, NIGERIA, WHERE HE BEGAN HIS ART CAREER AS A POLITICAL CARTOONIST.

IN THE LAST 20 YEARS, HE HAS TAUGHT ART AND ART THEORY ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES.

HIS WORK TODAY IS IN MANY WAYS MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THOSE EARLY WORKS.

HOWEVER, HE CONTINUES TO USE ART AS A CONDUIT TO ENGAGING IN CONVERSATION AND AS A MEANS OF URGING PEOPLE TO BE INFORMED.

>> PEACE BRINGS ABOUT DEVELOPMENT, BECAUSE IF I'M PEACEFUL, FEEL I'M PEACEFUL SOMEWHERE, I WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THAT SOCIETY.

I WILL PUT IN MY BEST, DEFEND EVERYTHING OF THE SOCIETY, BUT YOU DON'T DO THAT WITHOUT FIRST UNDERSTANDING THAT GUY EXISTS.

BECAUSE HE EXISTS, HE HAS TO LEAD.

SO WE HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE EVERYBODY LIVE AND NOT MERELY EXISTING.

MY NAME IS ADEWALE ADENLE.

I WAS BORN IN LAGOS, NIGERIA.

MY MOTHER AND FATHER DIDN'T REALLY WANT ME TO DO ART.

I VENTURED WHAT THEY WANTED ME TO DO BRIEFLY, TO BE A LAWYER, SO I WAS IN COLLEGE STUDYING LAW AND ALL THAT.

I DECIDED, THIS IS JUST NOT FOR ME.

I WANT TO WRITE.

I WANT TO PAINT.

I WANT TO DRAW.

AND I FELL LIKE I JUST WANTED TO HAVE A VOICE.

YOU KNOW, IN NIGERIA, YOU DON'T HAVE COLLEGE GRANTS OR ALL THE THINGS.

EITHER SOMEBODY'S PAYING FOR IT OR YOU ARE PAYING FOR IT, SO YOU HAVE TO FIND A WAY, AND THAT'S HOW I BECAME A POLITICAL CARTOONIST.

I STARTED FENDING FOR MYSELF, SELLING CARTOONS TO BUY PAINTS, BRUSHES.

THEN I HAD A BRUSH IN THE MILITARY REGIME WHEN WE WERE FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY WITH MY POLITICAL CARTOON, BUT I'M HERE.

I SURVIVED.

IT WAS A VERY DIFFICULT -- YOU'RE TRYING TO EARN YOUR SALARY, YOU'RE WORKING WITH A -- OWNED BY THE MILITARY JUNTA.

YOU ALSO WANT TO GIVE YOUR SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE.

SO THAT'S -- THAT WAS TOUGH.

WHAT I DO THESE DAYS IS MORE ABOUT -- OF EVERYTHING.

THE MULTIPLE VISION, THE LOCATION OF DIFFERENT INFORMATION IN EVERY OBJECT OR IN EVERYTHING WE DO.

HOW DO I KNOW REPRESENT THIS DUALITY IN WHAT I DO?

HOW DO I COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE AND TELL THEM THAT, YES, WE ARE SO USED TO THESE NORMS, THIS WAY OF DOING THINGS, BUT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THAT THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF DOING THIS AND IT COULD BE BETTER.

SO I COME UP WITH THESE THREE-DIMENSIONAL PAINTINGS AND I PUT HOLES IN IT.

SOMEBODY SAID, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PUT HOLES?

YEAH IT'S JUST LIKE YOU AND I. I SAY YOU KNOW WHAT?

I CAN PUNCH HOLES IN YOUR POLITICAL ARGUMENTS.

WHATEVER I FEEL SHOULD BE ADDRESSED OR SHOULD BE DISCUSSED FURTHER, I PUNCH HOLES IN IT TO SHOW MY AVERSION, MY AVERSE TO THINGS.

SO IT'S A WAY OF SAY I'M PUNCHING HOLES IN THE ARGUMENT, BUT I'M NOT JUST PUNCHING HOLES IN THEIR ARGUMENT.

I'M USING HOLES AS A CONDUIT TOWARDS OTHER REALITIES.

WHEN YOU SEE THE HOLES, WHEN YOU SO THE FIGURE IN FRONT, YOU ARE SEEING THAT HOLE.

I KNOW THAT THAT'S A DOLLAR BILL.

YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH IT.

BUT IT DRAWS YOUR ATTENTION.

IN THOSE HOLES YOU ARE GETTING ENGAGED IN THIS DISCUSSION.

THEN BECAUSE YOU ARE ENGAGED YOU FIND OTHER REALITIES.

YOU START ASKING QUESTIONS.

BECAUSE THERE'S ANOTHER PAINTING AT THE BACK.

SOME PEOPLE SAY, I DON'T LIKE POLITICS.

I DON'T LIKE IT.

IT'S OKAY.

WE DON'T HAVE TO LIKE POLITICS.

THEY REMEMBER, THAT'S WHAT THE -- ARE LIVING, BECAUSE POLITICS INFORM POLICIES, AND POLICIES TELLS US HOW WE TAKE OUR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL, WHAT FOOD, HOW MUCH IT COST OF MILK OR BEEF.

SO WE DON'T HAVE TO ENJOY THE POLITICAL PARTY, BUT WE NEED TO REALLY FOLLOW IT TO KNOW HOW THINGS HAVE BEEN DETERMINE, NOT ONLY WHEN WE GET TO THE BALLOT ON THE DAY OF THE ELECTION AND THEN SAY, OKAY, SHALL I GO FOR DONKEY OR THE ELEPHANT?

YOU HAVE TO REALLY FOLLOW.

YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THOSE NARRATIVES FOR US TO BE INFORMED OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

SO THAT'S THE SENSE OF -- THAT'S HOW I USE THOSE THREE-DIMENSIONAL PROCESSES AND MATERIALS AND EVERYTHING TO DISSEMINATE THOSE -- IF I'M GOING TO TAKE SOMETHING OUT THAT I WANT TO TAKE HOME, IT'S CONSCIOUSNESS TOWARDS SOCIAL POLITICAL NARRATIVES THAT AFFECTS YOUR LIVING.

THAT'S -- I MEAN, THAT SENTENCE COVERS A LOT OF THINGS.

WE LIVE IN A POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT, WE LIVE IN A SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT, SO IT'S ALIVE, SO THAT'S WHEY WANT TO TAKE AWAY.

>>> IN THIS SEGMENT, AMY SHERALD IS AN AWARD-WINNING PORTRAIT PAINTER WHO SHOT TO INTERNATIONAL FAME WITH HER COMMISSIONED PORTRAIT OF FORMER FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA, WHICH NOW HANGS IN THE SMITHSONIAN'S NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY.

SHERALD DESCRIBES HER WORK AS AMERICAN REALISM.

IT'S A DISTINCTIVE APPROACH THAT FEATURES HER STRIKING SUBJECTS, WHO GAZE AND THEREBY ENGAGE THE VIEWER DIRECTLY.

>>> I PAINT PORTRAITS BECAUSE GROWING UP IT WAS WHAT I CONSIDERED ART.

I MEAN, IT WAS WHAT I SAW IN ENCYCLOPEDIAS, SO BEING AN ARTIST MEANT TO RENDER THE FIGURE.

I KNEW I WANTED TO BE AN ARTIST AROUND THE TIME I WAS IN THE SECOND GRADE.

I'M NOT SURE I KNEW WHAT THAT MEANT, BUT I KNEW THAT DRAWING WAS SOMETHING THAT I LIKED TO DO AND I KNEW I'D RATHER DO THAT THAN BE AROUND PEOPLE.

IT FOUND ME.

YEAH, I DID NOT FIND THAT STYLE, THAT STYLE FOUND ME.

I DON'T REALLY HAVE A DESCRIPTER FOR MY STYLE.

I LOOSELY ATTACH MYSELF TO THE GENRE OF AMERICAN REALISM.

BEING I CONSIDER MYSELF SELF-TAUGHT, IT'S HOW I PAINT, IT'S HOW I SEE.

IT'S HOW I PAINT.

MY SUBJECTS ARE PEOPLE OF COLOR BECAUSE I CHOOSE TO PAINT AND PUT OUT IN THE WORLD IDEALIZED VERSIONS OF MYSELF.

ALSO REALIZING THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE CANON THERE'S A LACK OF REPRESENTATION OF PEOPLE THAT LOOK LIKE ME, AND THAT WAS ENOUGH REASONS FOR ME NOT TO WANT TO PAINT ANYBODY BUT MYSELF.

I DON'T PLACE MY FIGURES WITHIN A CONTEXT, BECAUSE I WANT TO VIEWER TO HAVE A SINGULAR EXPERIENCE WITH THE PERSON THAT'S IN THE PORTRAIT.

THE PERSON THAT'S IN THE PORTRAIT, THEY'RE AWARE OF THE VIEWER AND, THEY'RE AWARE THAT THEY'RE IN THIS PAINTING, IF YOU WILL.

SO, SINCE MY WORK IS A MEDITATION ON PHOTOGRAPHY, A LOT OF THE IMAGES THAT WERE TAKEN OF AFRICAN AMERICANS, AT ONE POINT IN TIME, WERE ANTHROPOLOGICAL.

SO IT'S ALSO A CRITIQUE ON THAT FRONTAL COMPOSITION.

IT'S A SOFT CONFRONTATION AND I ALSO HANG MY PAINTINGS A LITTLE LOWER THAN THEY WOULD NORMALLY BE HUNG BECAUSE I WANT THEM AND THE VIEWER TO ACTUALLY HAVE A REAL INTERACTION.

FOR ME, MICHELLE OBAMA'S PORTRAIT, BEYOND THE PROFESSIONAL AND THE HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF IT, I THINK IT CHANGED WHO I WAS AS A WOMAN.

I THINK IT GAVE ME PERMISSION TO ASK FOR MORE OF MYSELF AND ASK FOR MORE OF OTHERS.

SUCCESS HAS NOT CHANGED ME.

IT HAS GIVEN ME MORE AGENCY TO DO THINGS THAT I WANT TO DO IN THE COMMUNITY.

IT'S GIVEN ME SOCIAL LEVERAGE.

I DON'T CONSIDER MYSELF AN ACTIVIST, BUT I CONSIDER MYSELF A HUMANIST AND SOMEBODY WHO IS AWARE OF WHAT I HAD AND WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DON'T HAVE AND TO SHARE WHAT I HAVE GAINED WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

I SEE MYSELF EVOLVING AS A PAINTER AT THIS POINT MOSTLY BECAUSE I HAVE A BIGGER BUDGET.

AND SO IT'S GOING TO BE EASIER FOR ME TO MAKE SOME OF THESE LARGER PAINTINGS I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO MAKE FOR YEARS BUT JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO MAKE THEM.

AND I'M NOT PUTTING ANY PRESSURE ON MYSELF TO BECOME A DIFFERENT PERSON.

I JUST AM PURSUING MY PRACTICE IN THE SAME WAY I WOULD, BUT WITH THE ABILITY TO FUND SOME OF THE BIGGER IDEAS THAT I HAVE.

>>> WE ROUND OUT TODAYS SHOW WITH ANOTHER EDITION OF KATE'S QUICK BITES.

WE'LL MAKE A COZY FALL TREAT AND HEAR FROM A LOCAL ORGANIZATION THAT STRIVES TO MOVE FASHION FORWARD.

LET'S LEARN ABOUT THEIR KEY PILLARS OF LEARN, MAKE, INNOVATE AND EXPERIENCE.

>> JOINING ME IN THE KITCHEN TODAY IS YOGI TERRELL, DIRECTOR OF COLUMBUS FASHION ALLIANCE.

THANKS FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

>> THANKS FOR INVITING ME.

I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE.

>> GREAT.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT THE FASHION INDUSTRY IN COLUMBUS THAT PEOPLE MIGHT NOT KNOW?

>> SURPRISING TO MANY PEOPLE, COLUMBUS IS THE THIRD LARGEST FASHION INDUSTRY IN THE COUNTRY, SO NEXT TO L.A. AND NEXT TO NEW YORK, COLUMBUS IS THE THIRD LARGEST.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT BUT NOW WE'RE CHANGING THAT.

>> I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT, PEOPLE WOULDN'T THINK NEW YORK, L.A., COLUMBUS IN TERMS OF FASHION.

I'M PROUD OF THAT.

>> WE HAVE A RICH HISTORY IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY FROM UNIFORMS DURING THE WORLD WAR, AND THEN SHOES, AND NOW THE BIG SPECIALTY RETAIL, AND NOW WE'RE KIND OF REINVENTING IT.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN IN OUR DNA.

>> I LOVE THAT.

THAT'S AMAZING.

I LOVED TO BAKE, SO I PICKED A RECIPE TODAY THAT ARE PUMPKIN SCONES WITH CARAMEL GLAZE.

>> YOU KNOW IT'S THE SEASON.

>> I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD THING TO GET STARTED, AND THEY'RE EASY TO THROW TOGETHER SO I'M EXCITED.

>> LET'S DO IT.

I'M GOING TRY THE HELP OUT AS MUCH AS I CAN.

>> FOR THE SCONES WE'LL NEED THREE CUP OF ALL PURPOSE FLOWER.

ONE-THIRD CUP OF SUGAR, HALF A TEASPOON OF BAKING SO DA, TWO AND A HALF BAKING POWDER.

QUARTER CUP GROUND GINGER, QUARTER CUP GROUND SIN MAN, ONE AND A HALF STICKS OF UNSALTED BUTTER AND ONE AND A QUARTER CUP OF BUTTER MILK.

ONE CAN OF PUMPKIN PURE RAY AND TWO TABLESPOONS OF VANILLA EXTRACT.

FOR THE BLAZE, TWO STYX OF BUTTER, ONE CUP OF FIRMLY BACKED BROWN SUGAR.

HALF A TEASPOON FRESHLY SQUEEZED LEMON JUICE, QUARTER TEASPOON COACHER SALT AND HALF A CUP OF HEAVY CREAM.

FIRST STEP IS MIX TOGETHER OUR DRY INGREDIENTS.

MAGIC OF TELEVISION, THEY'RE ALREADY IN THE BOWL, SO OWL WE NEED TO DO IS WHISK THEM.

IT'S VERY SIMPLE.

GENTLY WHISK.

YOU DON'T WANT TO BE COVERED IN FALL SPICES RIGHT NOW.

>> I GOT STUFF TO DO TODAY.

>> YOU GOT A WHITE SHIRT.

DON'T WANT YOU COVERED.

MIX THEM UNTIL BLENDED AND INCORPORATED.

THAT'S PRETTY WELL MIXED.

LOOK AT YOU.

YOU'RE LIKE A WHISKING PRO.

OUR NEXT STEP, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OUR BUTTER, PUT IT IN HERE, AND THEN WE GET TO GET OUR HANDS IN.

I'M GOING PUT THE BUTTER IN, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO INCORPORATE IT INTO THE DRY INGREDIENTS.

REALLY ALL YOU'RE DOING IS BLENDING IT TOGETHER.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

JUST GET IN AND WANT TO GET THE DRY INGREDIENTS AND SWISH THE BUTTER IN.

THIS WILL JUST KIND OF INCORPORATE THAT BUTTER INTO THE DRY INGREDIENTS.

SAME METHOD AS MAKING A PIE DOUGH, REALLY, CUTTING THE FAT INTO THE DRY INGREDIENTS.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A WELL.

SO REALLY WE'RE JUST GOING TO SPREAD THE INGREDIENTS OUT SO THERE'S A LITTLE AREA, CAVITY IN THE MIDDLE, AND THIS IS WHERE WE ADD OUR WET INGREDIENTS.

OF COURSE, THE PUMPKIN.

WE'VE GOT THE BUTTER MILK, WHICH IS ESSENTIAL FOR SCONES, AND THEN SOME VANILLA.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO PUT ALL THAT IN THE MIDDLE.

I'LL ADD THE BUTTER MILK.

GET THAT IN.

IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS, YOU CAN SCOOP IN THE PUMPKIN.

AGAIN, THIS IS PURE PUMPKIN PURE PUREE.

IT'S NOT THE STUFF THAT HAS THE SPICES IN IT.

>> STRAIGHT UP PUMPKIN.

>> MM-HMM.

WE'LL GET THAT ALL IN.

I'LL GET THAT OFF THE WAY.

SCRAPE THAT IN.

GOOD IDEA.

GET ALL THAT GOODNESS.

THEN WE GOT THE VANILLA.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO USE OUR HANDS TO BASICALLY FORM THIS INTO A DOUGH.

SO YOU JUST WANT TO USE YOUR HANDS TO MIX IT TOGETHER UNTIL IT ALL COMES TOGETHER AND THE DRY IS INCORPORATED WITH THE WET.

IT'S A SOFT DOUGH.

DOESN'T GET LIKE BREAD DOUGH.

BUT IT IS A LITTLE BIT MESSY!

YOU JUST KEEP GOING.

YOU CAN GET IN THERE IF YOU WANT TO.

I THINK THAT'S PRETTY WELL MIXED.

WE'LL TRY TO GET SOME OF THIS OFF AND THEN WE CAN DO A HAND WASH.

OKAY, WE HAVE OUR BEAUTIFUL DOUGH.

>> LOOKS GOOD.

SMELLS GREAT.

>> SMELLS AMAZING.

I'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF FLOUR I'M GOING TO SPRINKLE ON OUR TABLE.

YOU CAN DO THIS AT HOME ON A CLEAN COUNTERTOP.

THIS IS A NICE SPACE TO JUST KIND OF SHAPE THE DOUGH.

I'M JUST PUTTING FLOUR BECAUSE THIS IS SUPER STICKY AND THIS WAY IT HOPEFULLY WON'T STICK TO THE SURFACE.

I'M JUST GOING DUMP IT OUT.

THEN -- GET ALL THAT GOODNESS.

MIX TOGETHER.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS AND JUST GET YOUR HANDS COATED IN SOME FLOUR.

>> OKAY.

>> SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF -- >> I'M FROM AKRON, SO THIS IS LIKE LO LeBRON WHEN HE GOES INTO THE COURT.

>> I LOVE IT.

GET THE FLOUR.

AND THEN JUST START PATTING IT INTO AN ABOUT 1 1/2 INCH DISKS, SO PRETTY TALL.

WANT TO GET THEM NICE AND TALL.

THEN WE'LL START CUTTING OUT THE SCONES.

THIS IS A BISCUIT CUTTER.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE YOU CAN USE A GLASS, WHATEVER.

I LIKE TO GET FLOUR ON THE EDGES SO IT DOESN'T STICK TOO BAD.

THEY DON'T SPREAD TOO MUCH.

I SAY WE COULD GET SIX ON THERE.

GO STRAIGHT DOWN.

IF IT COMES UP, GREAT.

IF NOT I HAVE A HANDY DANDY OFFSET SPATULA THAT I GO IN AND LIFT THE GUY UP.

THEY'RE VERY FREE FORM.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT.

OKAY, I THINK OUR LITTLE PUMPKIN SCONES LOOK GREAT.

THESE ARE READY TO GO IN THE OVEN.

WE'VE PREHEATED TO 425, AND THEY BAKE FOR ONLY ABOUT 12 MINUTES.

>> THAT'S IT?

>> YEAH.

POP THEM IN.

HERE THEY GO.

WHILE OUR SCONES ARE IN THE OVEN, WHY DON'T YOU TELL US HOW THE COLUMBUS FASHION ALLIANCE IS CREATING OPPORTUNITY COLUMBUS YOUTH.

>> SINCE WE FOUND OUT IT'S THE THIRD LARGEST FASHION INDUSTRY, ONE OF THE THINGS WE THOUGHT IS HERE'S A WAY TO IMPACT THE YOUTH, AND ESPECIALLY YOUTH OF COLOR, THEY ARE CONSUMER OF IT.

WHY NOT START TO POUR BACK INTO THEM?

ONE OF OUR BIG PLATFORMS IS OUR YOUTH PROGRAMMING.

WE LAUNCH A COUPLE BIG PROGRAMS INCLUDING FUTURE FASHION.

IT'S WHERE WE TEACH YOUTH OF COLOR EVERYTHING ABOUT THE FASHION INDUSTRY.

WE TEACH THEM DESIGN, PRODUCTION, MERCHANDISING, VISUAL MERCHANDISE, MARKETING, AND THEN WE HAVE THEM DO CAPSTONE PRODUCTS WHERE THEY CREATE THEIR OWN COLLECTION AND DONATE 3,000 PIECES OF CLOTHING OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY WILLIAM A KNOW THAT PROGRAMS LIKE THAT WILL NOT ONLY TEACH THEM ALL ABOUT THE FASHION INDUSTRY, EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS BEFORE IT HITS THE SHELVES BUT ALSO GIVE THEMSELVES A NEW FUTURE, A NEW PATHWAY, AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO HERE IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, THAT MANY CITIES CAN'T DO THROUGH FASHION.

IT'S EXCITING TO SEE HOW IT'S BEEN COMING ALONG AND SEE HOW WE'RE CHANGING THESE KIDS' LIVES.

WE HAVE OTHER PROGRAMS WE'RE LAUNCHING THIS YEAR JUST FOR YOUTH.

>> THAT'S AMAZING.

SEEMS LIKE A GREAT WAY TO SET UP THE NEXT GENERATION WITH SUCCESS AND THE CLOTHING.

>> IT'S A WIN WIN.

WE GET TO MOVE THE FASHION INDUSTRY FORWARD BUT CREATE OPPORTUNITIES THAT IMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS RIGHT, RIGHT.

I LOVE IT.

>> THAT'S AMAZING.

OH, YEAH.

HERE THEY COME.

SO, WE'RE GOING TO LET THESE COOL FOR A LITTLE BIT, AND WHILE THEY COOL, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A CARAMEL GLAZE WE DUNK THEM IN.

WHILE WE WAIT FOR THESE TO COOL, WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE FASHION ALLIANCE AND WHY WE SHOULD ALL BE INVESTED IN THESE INITIATIVES.

>> I'M GLAD YOU ASKED.

IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE REALLY, IS THAT THROUGH THE LENS OF FASHION WE CAN DO SO MUCH FOR OUR CITY.

NOT ONLY HELP THE YOUTH, BUT YOU THINK ABOUT WORK FORCE DEVELOPMENT.

WE CAN CREATE NEW JOBS.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

BUILD A NEW ECONOMY FROM THE EXISTING INDUSTRY WE HAVE, AND ALSO IT'S VERY COAL IN FASHION.

IT CAN BRING TRAVEL AND TOURISM TO OUR CITY.

FASHION CAN HELP COLUMBUS SOLVE, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO BEAT THAT DRUM AND MAKE THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS, BUILD THAT ECONOMY, THAT ECOSYSTEM THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW COLUMBUS TO RAISE OPPORTUNITY, RAISE AWARENESS.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

EVERYONE BENEFITS.

>> EVERYONE BENEFITS, RIGHT.

>> OUR SCONES ARE COOLING.

WE'LL LEAVE THEM ASIDE, BUT WORK ON THE NEXT STEP, MAKING THE CARAMEL GLAZE.

WE'VE GOT A SAUCE PAN OVER LOW HEAT.

WE'VE GOT TWO STICKS OF BUTTER.

WE'RE NOT MESSING AROUND.

THEY'RE NOT LIGHT AND DAINTY.

TO THIS, ADD THE CUP OF BROWN SUGAR.

WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF LEMON JUICE AND THEN A LITTLE BIT OF SALT, BECAUSE SALT AND SWEET IS ALWAYS GOOD.

THIS WILL TAKE A MINUTE UNTIL THE BUTTER MELTS TO REALLY COME TOGETHER.

ONCE THE BUTTER MELTS THIS WILL REALLY START TO LOOK LIKE A SAUCE.

AND THEN WE'LL LET IT COME TO A LOW BOIL AND THEN WE'LL ADD HEAVY CREAM AND THAT WILL MAKE IT THICK AND CARAMELLY.

THEN WE'LL DUNK THE SCONES IN.

ABOUT TO GET REAL.

>> IT'S ABOUT TO GATE REAL.

>> I'M GOING TO ADD THE HEAVY CREAM THEM MIGHT BUBBLE UP A LITTLE BIT.

WE'LL STIR THAT IN.

THIS JUST NEEDS TO STIR ON LOW HEAT FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES WHILE IT THICKENS UP AND BECOMES A CARAMEL SAUCE.

WHILE I DO THAT, WHY DON'T A TELL ME HOW YOU GOT INTO FASHION IN THE FIRST PLACE.

>> I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF FASHION.

I REMEMBER GROWING UP IN AKRON, OHIO, DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY BACK THEN, SO YOU KIND OF HAD TO MAKE WHAT YOU COULD OUT OF YOUR OWN CLOTHES.

YOU TAKE THE T HAD SHIRT, TRY TO TURN IT INTO SOMETHING.

ROLL UP YOUR JEANS.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN INTO FASHION, HAD TO CREATE FASHION OUT OF NECESSITY.

WHEN I FOUND OUT COLUMBUS WAS THE THIRD LARGEST FASHION CITY I WAS LIKE, HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO BRING BOTH OF MY PASSIONS TOGETHER, STRATEGY AND MARKETING, AND THEN MY PASSION FOR FASHION.

>> PASSION FOR FASHION.

>> I KNOW, RIGHT?

I KNOW, RIGHT.

SO REALLY I HAVE BEEN INTO IT AND I'VE DONE SOME THINGS IN FASHION OVER THE YEARS, BUT I REALLY TURNED IT UP OTHER THE PAST FIVE YEARS THROUGH THIS INITIATIVE.

>> OKAY, THESE HAVE COOLED ENOUGH THAT WE CAN HANDLE THEM.

OUR GLAZE IS READY TO GO.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS DUNK.

I'LL SHOW YOU ONE.

YOU BASICALLY HOLD IT BY THE BOTTOM AND THEN DUNK IT SO THE TOP GETS COVERED BY THE BLAZE.

THAT'S REALLY ALL YOU DO, AND THEN BOOP.

>> LET ME TRY.

>> YOU WANT TO TRY IT?

>> SURE.

>> GRAB THE BOTTOM GENTLY, AND TILT SO YOU HAVE ENOUGH CARAMEL, AND DUNK IT.

IF IT.

FAS IN, WE'LL SCOOP IT OUT.

MIGHT BE A LITTLE HOT ON YOUR FINGERS.

CAREFUL THERE.

>> LET'S EAT SOME.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

>> HEY, I'M ALREADY TASTING THIS.

>> THE CARAMEL?

PRETTY GOOD.

>> THAT IS REALLY GOOD.

>> JUST EAT IT WITH A SPOON.

NOBODY NEEDS TO KNOW.

>> HERE'S TO ALL OF OUR HARD WORK.

>> YEAH.

>> MAN, THAT IS GOOD.

>> ISN'T THAT SO GOOD?

>> YEAH, YEAH.

I ALWAYS WONDER ON THESE SHOWS IF IT'S REALLY GOOD.

>> IS IT REALLY GOOD?

>> IT IS REALLY GOOD.

GREAT.

>> CARAMEL'S NOT TO SWEET BUCK ALSO THE SCONE ISN'T TOO SWEET.

THE CARAMEL HELPS.

TASTES LIKE FALL.

>> IT IS.

LIKE FALL IN YOUR MOUTH.
