Have you ever heard of a business inspired by a hangover. Yes, you heard that right! In this week’s episode of the Young Boss with Isabelle Guarino, I had the pleasure of chatting with the charismatic and entrepreneurial force that is Nelson Brooks. Nelson's journey is a rollercoaster ride of innovation, resilience, and a whole lot of partying.
Nelson's story is a testament to the fact that great businesses can sprout from the most unexpected places. As he puts it, "Execution is key, ideas are a dime a dozen." It's not only about having a lightbulb moment; it's about rolling up your sleeves and getting things done. And Nelson is a prime example of someone who gets things done.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Nelson's journey is his ability to build a thriving business sans business plan. Instead, he focuses on building a strong partner network and strategically positioning his business in locations where the demand is high. It's a laid-back approach that not only breaks the mold but also delivers impressive results.
And let's not forget the wild stories. From crazy party antics to unexpected encounters (like meeting his wife at a party he was working), Nelson's interview will leave you both entertained and inspired!
Beyond the Instagrammable aspects of entrepreneurship lies a quieter reality: the loneliness that can seep into even the most ambitious business minds. Loneliness in entrepreneurship is a topic that often gets swept under the rug far too often, but Nelson faces it head-on. Nelson and I navigate the highs and lows of being a business owner; from the exhilarating highs of scaling across multiple cities to the gut-wrenching lows of sleepless nights wondering if it's all worth it.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
