Google Photos has a way of resurfacing moments you didn’t realise were shaping you.

This was ten years ago, when encouraged me to shave my hair off.

What felt like a bold aesthetic choice at the time became something much deeper; an unexpected journey into self-discovery, confidence, and shedding more than just hair.

I was filming for television then, though I can’t even remember what the project was for. Funny how the details fade, but the feeling of that moment stays.

Growth has a way of doing that.

Join me at MegaHoreca this Wednesday at 1:50 p.m. at Landmark for a live masterclass where I’ll be sharing practical insights from the kitchen to the business floor — technique, flavour thinking, and the systems that turn good food into a strong hospitality brand.

If you’re a chef, operator, or food entrepreneur, this session is built to give you ideas you can actually use. See you there.

I’ve been a founder since my teens.
Not everything I built made it all the way — but everything taught me something.

Now I’m sharing that learning with founders who want to scale without chaos.

Introducing the Founders Advisory Circle.
