This week we have a throwback to an incredible convo with the co-founder of TRIP, Olivia Ferdi.

Maybe I am wrong.

For yonks I’ve been waxing ad nause about

Narrow and Deep.
Focus.

Do less, better.
Be a Meaningful specific.

It’s what every wonderful guest on the poddy teaches me.

TRIP ripped up the rule book.
Definition of outlier.

TRIP is for everyone and anyone, anywhere, anytime and everywhere.

TRIP is a coffee replacement. Booze replacement. Cocktail mixer. Meal Deal enhancer. Grab & Go.

All charged with a beautiful mission: Be Kind to your Mind.

Won listings at Co-op Sainsbury's, Waitrose & Partners, @Annabel’s, Soho House & Co

Olivia Ferdi is the latest guest on Hungry. Oh boy. You’re in for a treat.

ON THE MENU:

1. Why your brand must be chameleon to be a truly omni-channel brand – lessons from Annabel’s, Mayfair and Co-Op.

2. Why your brand should act as a PROMPT to unlock an emotion in people – TRIP own “Be Kind to Your Mind”

3. How TRIP won a Bill’s listing in 4 weeks – when one door shuts, open a window. Be fluid.

4. How to repurpose your brand and shelf space to unlock more occasions = more consumption = more £ wonga.

5. How TRIP raised £10 million quid – do you really need presentation a deck?

6. Why founders must actually seek and embrace stress it’s a gateway forward.

Every top food and drink founder reads our Newsletter - why wouldn't you?

In 2001, the London Food World was pallid, tepid, insipid. 

Clotted cream Miserable Meh

Thankfully, two legends CHANGED EVERYTHING.

Sam Hart & Eddie Hart

Swam upstream, zigged against zagging zeitgeist. 

Opened an array of spell-binding restaurants 

2003 - Fino with genius Nieves 
2007 -  Barrafina 

2012 - Quo Vadis with living-legend and food encyclopaedia, Jeremy Lee 

2015- El Pastor 

And, more  recently, Parillian, Bar Daskall 

Ghosts in Quo Vadis, MAD house parties in Manchester, wild techno nights in Mexico city, losing money for 12 years, dogged persistence, the supple art of the perfect host

Proper garrulous n’ gallivanting chinwag this one with Sam Hart 

ON THE MENU:

3. **How Sam & Crispin Created the World’s Best Nightclub in Mexico City:** “You need good people for a good party.”

7. **The Genius of Jeremy Lee:** How he turned Quo Vadis around after 12 years of losing money.  

8. **The Dogged Persistence Rule:** Always ask yourself, “How can I jump out of bed, excited, in 20 years’ time?”

   - “When it’s infectious, it’s impossible to break.”  
   - “But it can also be cancerous.”  

10. **Economics of Restaurants – Why Barrafina Doesn’t Serve Tea:**  
    - “Spend per hour is essential.”  
    - “Turning tables quickly.”
