In this episode of the Back of House podcast, Michael and I speak with Declan Lee, co-owner and creative force behind the Gelato Messina brand.

From creating one of the country’s biggest music festivals to influencing the behaviour of future generations through gelato, Declan’s path to becoming the creative lead at Messina, was unique.

He provides great insight to their strategy (or lack thereof), illustrating the importance of being genuine and proving that not taking yourself too seriously, can lead to serious growth.
