#87: Natty's Jerk: From Black Cab Driver to Building a Caribbean Food Business
Q: What is Natty's core advice for listeners aiming to start a food business?
Just do it—be brave, take action, and learn from what happens, rather than waiting for perfect conditions.
#87: Natty's Jerk: From Black Cab Driver to Building a Caribbean Food Business
Q: What was the pivotal moment that convinced him to pursue food entrepreneurship?
A rooftop catering opportunity and the realization that food and hospitality could become a brand and a living, not just a side hustle, especially after seeing how people interacted with food at events.
#87: Natty's Jerk: From Black Cab Driver to Building a Caribbean Food Business
Q: How did Natty transition from taxi driving to starting a Caribbean food business?
He identified a market gap through observation of street vendors, pursued the idea while still working as a cabbie, secured initial funding from his mother, and used hands-on experiences like street market gigs to register, prepare, and launch the venture.
#79:Food Fraud with Chris Elliot OBE
Q: What exactly is food fraud when you refer to that statement?
Food fraud is deception in the supply chain aimed at making money, often involving misrepresentation of origin, ingredients, or production methods, and it can be tied to criminal activity across borders.
