Today I’ve got the great opportunity to chat to one of the trailblazers in the industry: Chris Miller from the White Rabbit Fund. If you haven’t heard of White Rabbit Fund, it’s this great incubator where Chris goes in like a SAS team and marrys up with the talent in a business to give them the support network and system to make their business grow and taking them bigger than where they might have been if they had stayed as a single operator owned business. Chris has some amazing brands that he’s working with… like Lina Stores, Island Poke, KYM'S, Kricket. We go deep into how Chris started from Mille’s Cookies and moving into Soho House… all the way to what he’s doing with White Rabbit Fund. We discuss what makes a great brand, what he looks for in an investment and what opportunities you may have to grow your business.

It’s a wet and windy day in Brighton at the end of April but today I’ve had something that’s absolutely brightened up my day which was talking to David Wolenski & Carl Clarke of Chick 'n' Sours and CHIK'N. It was really great to talk to them, not just about the business, their achievements and career… we talk about music, meditation, kindness in business and really importantly what’s next for them, their people and their brands.
