Your aunties @Abi_Valte, @mrsunlawyer, @MadamHiddles, and @margavsmachine talk to the Tung brothers Mikko and Macky about how they brought Ligo Sardines into the 21st century. But the brothers are not your run-of-the-mill big business heirs – these days Mikko has shifted his focus to his property management business Odd Job Bob, while Macky is doing brand work for fast-growing online retail service Pickaroo.

The Tungs are so funny, they could give your aunties a run for their money. Maybe we should make them guest hosts next time, yeah?
