THIS MONTH'S HIGHLIGHTS

“I felt empowered to take control of my own health and wellness, and make a change.

“We both felt a noticeable difference, and we came to the realisation more people needed to be aware of it.”

“But just because I’m the chief executive doesn’t mean I know everything.

“That’s why you surround yourself with smart people and build your team."

“We’re much more like a liquid restaurant than we are a bar, and guests notice these things.

“We apply Michelin star and five-star hotel service techniques to a basement.”
