Have you ever wondered what it takes to walk away from a stable 14-year career and jump headfirst into the world of entrepreneurship? Andy Yates did just that, and in our latest podcast episode, he shares the remarkable story of his transformation from a heating engineer to the proud owner of Cult Coffee and Tattoos. This conversation is a vivid illustration of the power of self-belief and the reality of following your passion's. 

Navigating life after school can be daunting, something we explore as Andy recounts his experience of growing up in London and making the jump from education into the workforce. Andy and I discuss the crucial role of familial support, the impact of upbringing on career paths, and the importance of hard work and resilience. We also uncover the reality of stepping away from a long-term career to embrace the uncertainties and excitement of starting a new venture.

As we wrap up, Andy and I talk about the never ending challenge of achieving work life balance and the unpredictable nature of growing a business, especially in a market as saturated as the coffee industry. He opens up about the challenges of the pandemic, the essence of community collaboration in Leigh on Sea, and the inspiration behind the straightforward yet impactful name 'Cult'. These stories  make for an episode that's not just about coffee, but about pursuing your dreams. Join us for an episode that promises to energize not only your mind but perhaps your entrepreneurial spirit as well.
