The Sandro Forte Podcast

Australian entertainer and keynote speaker, Darryl Lovegrove sets out to inspire and motivate people with his refreshingly unique way of presenting. Darryl’s background is one of singing and the stage. He was in the original cast of Australia’s ‘Les Miserables’, performed in ‘The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber’ and received critical acclaim for his role in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’. His love for opera left him inspired by the operatic sensation ‘The Three Tenors’ and he went on to set up what became the global phenomenon, ‘The Three Waiters’. You may well be familiar with this act as it became one of the most performed corporate acts in the world, being performed to over 14,000 times in over 90 countries. He now incorporates operatic performances into his presentations, during which he aims to send out a powerful message about how to succeed in business.

Evan Maindonald: Being the master of your own destiny by Sandro Forte

Juliet Barratt and her husband launched their sports nutrition brand ‘Grenade’ in 2010 and the success they achieved since then is quite phenomenal. In 2006 they trademarked the company and began developing and testing recipes in their own kitchen, then in 2010 at the tail end of the recession, they invested all their money in the business leaving themselves with only £27 in the bank! Their brave investment turned out to be the best investment they could ever have made, as the business was sold the majority share in 2017 for £72 million!!!! They now employ over 50 staff in their Solihull base and their products retail in 80 countries around the world.

Juliet talks to Sandro about how hard work, common sense and practicality have contributed to her entrepreneurial success and why her down to earth and straight-talking manner are qualities that have made her a great businesswoman and mentor to others.
