In the South, food and music go hand in hand. They define much of what we think of as Southern culture, and they say a lot about our past, our present, and our future. Each week, Sid Evans, Editor in Chief of Southern Living, sits down with musicians, chefs, and other Southern icons to hear the stories of how they grew up, what inspires them, and why they feel connected to the region. Through honest conversations, Sid explores childhood memories, the family meals they still think about, and the intersection of food and music in their lives. Always surprising, always engaging, Biscuits & Jam is a celebration of the South—and the people who are moving it forward every day. New episodes every Tuesday.

Alvin Uy is a self-made high networth entrepreneur and an active investor from Los Angeles, CA. Alvin utilized several unfavorable life events as opportunities for growth. Being a first-generation immigrant and a college dropout challenged him to explore his untapped potential. His entrepreneurial spirit, drive to push past limits, and love of design and innovation are key factors contributing to his success. Being a solutions-based critical and creative thinker has helped him challenge limiting beliefs to build multiple successful businesses. In 2013, Alvin designed and developed SoapSox (www.soapsoxkids.com), the first of its kind children's bath product. SoapSox's appearance on ABC's Shark Tank in 2014 surprised both the sharks and viewers by walking away from 3 sharks offering a $1M buyout. Alvin proved the sharks wrong by successfully launching into several markets, becoming a product sold globally in mass-market retailers, and winning an award for innovation. While concurrently mastering his craft as a product developer, Alvin spent 19 years pursuing his true passion: Real Estate. In addition, he spent over a decade honing his skills in value-add investments, property management, construction, rehabbing distressed homes, fix and flip, and creative financing. As a result, Alvin owns multiple properties in Los Angeles and has recently expanded his multi-family portfolio to include other states. Alvin has pivoted to using his many talents and skillset to tackle the housing crisis that’s been facing Southern California. Alvin has been focusing SB9 and the production of ADUs these last few years. As a husband, a father to two young boys, an older brother to four siblings, and a friend to many, Alvin has not lost sight of the importance of sharing his wealth of knowledge to those around him.

He values his journey and believes in the entrepreneurial spirit. His message to fellow entrepreneurs is simple, STOP TRADING YOUR TIME FOR MONEY and LIVE LIFE BULLISH. Like many, Eric started his real estate investment career in the residential space and expanded into the commercial arena. His first property was a student housing rental in 2016, while he was still active with the Cincinnati Fire Department. Later, he expanded into renovations, and eventually, after many years of growth, education, and “failing forward”, Eric found himself in the commercial space.Eric’s story is similar to many entrepreneurs’ as he has navigated ups and downs with successes and failures in his entrepreneurial journey. As it turns out, it was during a less-than-ideal renovation when he realized, after years spent starting side hustles and residential real estate, that he was still only trading his time for money! As a believer in financial freedom, Eric leaned into commercial real estate and found a path to lead him to that destination. To that end, Flowers Capital reflects Eric’s fundamental philosophies of sourcing and funding deals. Priorities include, firstly, the preservation and growth of investor capital. As a strong proponent of multiple, passive sources of income and protecting the commodity of time, he believes financial freedom is achievable through commercial real estate investment. Flowers Capital is fully intent on achieving those goals for its investors. Eric considers himself a life-long learner. He believes in the entrepreneurial spirit and understands the realities of that life path. His greatest strengths include curiosity, personal accountability, and resilience. Real estate investing is truly a labor of love for Eric, but he also thoroughly enjoys fly fishing, traveling, and his Labrador Retriever, Baron.
