Ever wondered how some business owners seem to do it all (and actually enjoy it)?
In today's episode, Fiona Killackey chats with Jacinta Connell, who runs a cafe, a catering business, works as a lawyer, AND hosts a radio show - all while keeping her sanity intact.
Jacinta shares the real story of how she went from working in cafes to owning them, and why she believes business doesn't have to look one way. Whether you're feeling stuck in your current business or dreaming of starting something new, this conversation will show you what's possible when you trust your gut and build real relationships along the way.
Here's what you'll learn:
- Starting small: How Jacinta turned a coffee van side hustle into two thriving businesses
- Making it work: The practical ways she manages multiple businesses (no, she doesn't have a perfect morning routine!)
- Building community: Why real connections with customers and staff matter more than ever
- Changing direction: When to stick with something and when it's okay to try something new
- The reality of hospitality: What running a cafe business actually looks like post-COVID
- Working flexibly: How to create a business that fits your life (instead of the other way around)
