Off The Agenda Podcast

Sir Charles Bowman sits down with Levi Roots — the man who turned his grandmother's jerk sauce recipe and a guitar into a multimillion-pound business empire. From his legendary pitch on Dragon's Den to building one of the UK's most recognisable food brands, Levi's story is a masterclass in entrepreneurship, culture, and self-belief.

In this episode, they explore his journey from Clarendon, Jamaica to the shelves of every major supermarket in Britain, the power of culture in building a brand, and what it takes to turn a dream into a global business.
