Pret A Manger and ITSU founder: How Julian Metcalfe Built Global Billion Dollar Brands and The Art of Leadership and Simplicity in Complexity
The most mind-blowing conversation I’ve EVER had on challenger leadership.
Julian Metcalfe is contrarian, formidable. A lucid single-mindedness married with a howling grit.
The unique ability to find simplicity in complexity - “complexity is easy, simplicity is hard”
Pret a Manger and ITSU combined are worth over £3 billion.
- Pret a Manger one of the biggest food and drink brands of all time, opened sites in New York, Hong Kong and successfully sold in 2018.
- ITSU are at 74 sites solving the obesity pandemic providing healthy, affordable, delicious food.
- ITSU grocery are disrupting categories with ground breaking affordable, delicious meals
Total honour to interview Julian.
ON THE MENU:
- Why challenger food and drink founders must BE BRAVE and swim upstream, when everyone’s swimming downstream
- The principles of empathetic leadership: listening + imagination = look at problems differently
- Why complexity is much easier than simplicity - Do less, but do it beautifully = grow faster
- Why you must never ever, ever doubt what you can do as a human being - you’re capable of so much more than you think
- The process of building great cultures: realise this hard-truth, people work for people, not for your company.
- The relentless pursuit of better: accept 99 is not 100, so constantly pursue better
- Why brands must grow EXACTLY in proportion in their ability to stay GOOD
Fully eppy goes live Monday. If you enjoy the podcast.
