Lightbulb Moment 18: Making a living from that thing you love, with Henry Dimbleby MBE, co-founder of LEON


Listen Later

There’s a saying that if you make a living doing what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life – and this week Holly highlights how this is not only true, but genuinely possible for everyone. 

Taken from her conversation with Henry Dimbleby MBE, co-founder of fast food chain LEON, Holly reflects on Henry’s obsession with fast food and how acknowledging this was his key to success. 

Sharing the early signs that she remembers of finding her own diamond, Holly recalls how she recognised and used her love of shopping with small businesses to build the good life she’d always wanted. Holly also draws on how often our experiences working in jobs that just aren’t for us, can often lead us to finding our calling, and ultimately how there are hidden opportunities in the greyer patches of our lives. 

Henry’s success story is truly inspirational, and is one that exhibits how following your passion, no matter what it is, is enough to build a business – Henry’s was an ever growing love for fast food… so what is yours?
