Hope & Patience was my podcast which I created during the lockdown. I wanted to explore the entrepreneurial mindset, founder stories and what chocolate they adored too.
Julian Metcalfe is a food entrepreneur who has inspired me for years. To create a business is one thing, to grow it, sell it and then create another buzzing concept quite another. Julian is elusive when it comes to giving interviews and I was so fortunate to be able to chat with him. Huge thanks to Perry Haydn Taylor, Big Fish (also a guest on the show).

Grab a cuppa (mine would be a hot chocolate obviously) and tune in to hear Julian's gems. You will learn loads.
Julian Metcalfe is NOT the founder of Pret, he's the RE-co-founder.
Exposé on net-worth £215 million itsu founder & Pret A Manger RE-founder Julian Metcalfe, his love for zero hour contracts & robots, connection to the Royal family, a questionable connection, what staff say about him, how suddenly all the negative reviews about him on Glassdoor disappeared after i sent it to him, why some Asian people don't like him & HOW I chased him off Twitter/X:
