How MEATOPIA Built One of The Biggest Food Festivals in the UK working with Ottolenghi, Fergus Henderson, Richard Turner - Mat Kemp

HANDS DOWN my favourite day of the year. 

Even tops when I got a pair of Heeleys (with green lights) for my 25th. 

Summer yawns, the sun shudders in the high blue skies like a white marble. 

Meatopia an unctuous utopia of unreal grub. 

A bacchanalian flame-soaked meteorite of food, fire and booze. 

This Little Piggy went Tobacco Docks, “Me, Eat” - stuffing my face, Notorious P.I.G. style. 

Washed down gallons of Beer, the colour of Autumn, cold like Winter, tastes like Spring. 

A Notorious B.I.G line up - Ottolenghi, Fergus Henderson, Richard Turner.

The latest guest on the pod, is Mat Kemp co-founder MEATOPIA. 

There are SO many delicious lessons in here, that you'll never find in a banal business book.

ON THE MENU: 

1. HOW TO TAKE AN NACENT CONCEPT FROM 0 - 1 - RELENTLESSLY USE YOUR NETWORK, BEG, STEEL, BORROW ADVICE FROM PEOPLE. 

2. HOW TO KEEP THE FOUNDERS MAGIC ALIVE AS YOU SCALE: DEFINE YOUR CORE VALUES + GREAT BRANDS ARE BUILT BY WHAT THEY SAY “NO" TO. 

3. WHY YOU MUST FALL IN LOVE WITH THE JOURNEY AND BE HAPPY TO BE “PISS POOR” AND “CLING ON” 

4. HOW TO ATTRACT INVESTORS/CHEFS TO YOUR BUSINESS IDEA OR DREAM - SHOW THE VALUE OF BRAND DEPTH AND THE 5 YEAR JOURNEY
