Episode description
Before Christmas, I interviewed Chris Dee ex- CEO of Booths and Director of Food at Harrods.
At Harrods, Chris launched The Perrier Jouet Champagne Terrace, Harrods Brasserie, Tiffany Blue Box Cafe.
But recently he's crossed the chasm to follow his passion: Whisky and is co-founder of MALTDAQ, a secondary buyers/seller’s market for Whisky.
This episode was so much fun, I learnt a SHED load -
1. Your Ego stops you leaving your safe job. Be comfortable moving from Secure Master to Insecure Novice.
2. Embrace fierce competition. It stops you from becoming stale.
3. Staying calm amidst chaos. There’s no silver bullet to problem solving at large scale. It’s 1000 lead bullets every day... The trick? Ruthless prioritisation.
4. The Tea Spoon list. Look for the 1% edge, every day. This 1% compounds = increase brand love = increase sales.
5. The biggest mistake Food and Drink founder’s make is falling in love with their idea. Without Product-Market-Fit, you have don’t have a great business.
