What’s the saying? Be Kind because everyone you meet is facing a hard battle. Within the story of todays guest, there was one monumental battle.
I was over thrilled to get some time with one of my old mates, Natalie Tait – People Director at Artfarm.
Our chat played out a little bit like a catch up but there’s a lot to take away here including:-
- Artfarm
- School
- Rejecting college for work
- Finding pubs
- Running a pub at 20
- Changing direction through injury
- Recruitment
- D&D
- Opening a hotel
- Being surrounded by great people
- Being yourself
- Home House
- Ambiguity
- Borough Market
- Seeking help
And so much more.
Natalie is both a force of nature and a force for good within the industry. Natalie is also kind enough to recount one of the toughest moments of her life with openness and humour with some important lessons to be heard.
It’s a compelling chat and I hope you will enjoy!
