The Enterprise Doctor Business Show
Morphing a hobby into a business
Show Notes

My guest in my first podcast of 2022 is Charity Haynes, founder and CEO of Haynes Gourmet.  She lives just a few hundred metres from me, despite the accent from the south of the USA, which she hasn’t lost in her 25 years living in the UK.

The company’s main line is candied jalapenos, and they want to “pimp up everybody’s food”.

So how did she go from bringing a few jars in her suitcase when returning from trips to the States, to making her own for friends and family, before morphing that into the business she runs today?  And what are the specific issues around starting a food business?  Listen in to find out!
