Episode notes

In this episode, I sat down with The Aussie Smoker - a guy who turned a love for backyard BBQs into a full-blown smoked meat business. We dive into his journey from growing up in Australia, where BBQs were a way of life, to coming over to the UK and building something from scratch. Starting out by wholesaling smoked meats, he then took a bold step - running a venue just one night a week on a presale model… and selling it out consistently. Since then, he’s expanded into events and weddings, secured his own unit, and is now moving into a huge new space as the business continues to grow. This is a real story about spotting an opportunity, backing yourself, and scaling something simple into something serious. If you’re into business, food, or just hearing how people turn ideas into reality - you’ll enjoy this one. Follow their journey Instagram:  ...
