?? What could I learn from a chef?????? ?? This is what I was thinking going into our latest interview for The Quest for Success??? We had the privilege of sitting down with Big Sam Young, the mastermind chef behind S’more, one of Sydney’s most talked-about restaurants. Whilst I am also trying to build a business, I wasn't sure if anything from the hospitality industry would relate to me. But as always, I was wrong. Sam’s story is nothing short of inspiring. Growing up in a blue-collar family in Hong Kong, Sam’s journey to becoming a top chef, not just surviving but thriving during the lockdown and ultimatley starting his restaurant is a masterclass in determination and adaptability. ?? Here’s what really stood out to me: ? Turning Adversity into Opportunity: Sam launched his restaurant during the pandemic, a time when many businesses were closing their doors. His approach to offering take-home meals and private dining experiences was a game-changer. ? The Power of Social Media: Sam’s organic Instagram growth is a testament to the power of authenticity and consistency. He’s not just building a following—he’s creating a community. ? Passion Meets Hustle: Sam’s relentless drive to improve, combined with his passion for food, is what sets him apart. He’s a living example of why loving what you do is key to success. ? Celebrating Wins: Sam’s philosophy of celebrating every success, no matter how small, is something we can all take to heart. It’s about surrounding yourself with positivity and keeping the momentum going. This conversation was a goldmine of insights, and I left feeling more motivated than ever to push boundaries and keep learning. ?? Tune in now to catch all the wisdom Sam shared: https://lnkd.in/gEduDkVY I’d love to hear what you think—what’s the best lesson you've learnt from someone you didn't expect?
