This week I speak with Jaime Fernandez about what led him to trade the security of a 20-year insurance career for the unpredictable yet rewarding world of wine entrepreneurship. This episode's revealing conversation peels back the layers of transforming a passion into a thriving business, with Jaime at the helm of Vino Vero. He takes us through the nerve-wracking leap of faith during a global crisis and the influential role of family support in embarking upon such a venture.

I learn how Jaime and his wife Holly navigate the challenges of running Vino Vero hand in hand. The episode uncovers the unseen aspects of entrepreneurship, from the necessity of a good accountant to the reality of what a 'Sunday scary' feels like when you're the boss. It's an honest look at the sacrifices involved, tempered by the joy of following one's passion.

We also celebrate the vibrant community in Southend-on-Sea, a haven for creatives and independent business owners like Jaime . We discuss how the pandemic shifted work culture and the local entrepreneurial spirit that keeps this area buzzing with innovation and authenticity. Join us for an inspiring episode that may just uncork your own entrepreneurial dreams.
