S2 E6 Julian Metcalfe, Founder Pret & Itsu

‘Itsu started because a friend of mine said, "Please come to Japan with me for a week," an art dealer friend, and I remember Virgin were offering two tickets for the price of one. This was years 20, 30 years ago. I said, "Okay, fine, I'll go to Japan.’

Julian Metcalfe is a serious mover and shaker, a pioneer, a man with perseverance and guts. He has influenced how we eat in so many ways, and I bet you he will continue to do so. His latest creation is a robotic store of the future. Yes, seriously, robots making nigiri and maki.

Hear Julian’s how’s, why’s and why not’s along with his take on well-being, thoughts on success, failure, hope and patience and much more.
