Jeannette is joined by the amazing Wayne Smith, the founder of Daddy Bear Grills and a passionate entrepreneur with a rich background in boxing and coaching.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The journey into entrepreneurship began with a passion for boxing and cooking, highlighting the importance of following one's interests to create a fulfilling business.

• Building a successful partnership requires trust and complementary skills. The dynamic between the two partners showcases how different backgrounds can enhance business potential.

• The vision for Daddy Bear Grills includes creating immersive outdoor cooking experiences that not only teach skills but also foster community and connection among participants.

BEST MOMENTS

"I started delivering non-contact boxing in schools, engaging kids in positive paths and working with the police, youth offending, stuff like that, getting kids on the straight and narrow."

"I entered a competition last year, British Live Fire Cooking Championships, with no expectations at all. I made the final... it exploded from there."

 "When people post this on social media, they all go, 'Oh, I’d love to be there.' They don’t realise what the outdoors can do for you and your mind."
