Ep. 027: Barbell Foods: Why Being Naive & Young Could Be Your Greatest Advantage in Business

In this week's episode we had the privilege of talking to Tom and Luke, two of the Barbell Foods founders.

Barbell Foods was founded by four best mates in their early twenties from a shared passion for health, movement and the outdoors. This was the perfect opportunity to create a healthy source of protein to fuel their adventures. 

Every business starts somewhere, and their start involved some hard yakka man labor. Marinating kilos of steak in a small, rented kitchen, drying it in the pantry, and finally cutting each steak by hand.

In this episode we cover:

• Advice for young founders with big dreams and empty pockets;
• How you can best transition from your 9-5 corporate job into entrepreneurship;
• Advice on how to take action on that business idea you’ve had in the back of your mind;
• Why having audacity when your just starting out is so important; and
• Why raising capital might be the very thing you need to get your company to the next level.
