Rob meets the incredible Julian Metcalfe, who shares insights from his journey of building and selling Pret-a-Manger for $2 billion! 


Julian talks frankly the realities of entrepreneurship, the importance of resilience, tenacity, and the inevitability of facing failures—which he refers to as "bumps" along the way. Julian also reflects on the challenges of navigating the business landscape, particularly in the UK, where high operational costs can stifle new ventures, and examines the significance of product quality, customer relationships, and the value of a supportive team


BEST MOMENTS


"There is no success without the bumps. It just doesn't exist."


"If you're going to try and change anything or add value to anything, it's not going to come that easily."


"I've never feared going bust. I fear letting my customers down."
