Today’s podcast features my conversation with Bristol bar and restaurant owner Mike Harris, The Strawberry Thief.
After many years following a career as a sustainability specialist, including time with the Eden Project, he decided to go back to his hospitality roots. In 2016 he bought The Strawberry Thief, situated on Broad street near St Nicholas market, in the centre of Bristol.
I talk to Mike about how he has applied his years of working in the business of sustainability to the Strawberry Thief, with some practical tips that will be useful for any organisation looking to meet their net zero targets.
We chat about the importance of having great staff and incentivising them to really buy into the ethos of the business. We also touch on the whole alcohol-free movement. As someone who went a whole year no beer back in 2021, I love a real ale and the alcohol free versions are fantastic.
It was humbling to chat to Mike who reflected on pursuing his dreams after his personal experience with cancer.
I hope you find this podcast as inspiring as I do.
