After battling the heat, train cancellations and trying to sleep in the sauna of a hotel room some may have said that it would have been wiser to miss this year’s Bread and Jam festival! Here is why they would be wrong…

💛 when you’re a solo founder it’s easy to get bogged down with all the worries that comes along with everything trying to scale-up a business from scratch. It only takes sitting in a few talks to realise that everyone feels/felt the same way and it can work! That little boost is great for the self-esteem 💪🏻

🌟 The diversity I have seen at this festival is amazing 🙌🏻 and something I rarely see by going to equivalent science conferences. It is great to hear all the different stories behind the founders and how it inspires everything they make.

📒 There are things you know, there are things you know you don’t know and then there are things that you don’t know you don’t know. The latter is the thing that can give you a kick up the arse along the entrepreneur journey 🤣 Coming to Bread and Jam gives you the opportunity to the things you had no idea you needed to know about. A great example is bar codes! Follow to learn more

🍯 Don’t underestimate the power of networking. I’ve been so busy with my studies that I haven’t had the chance to apply for pitching or testing slots. Who knows if this year would have been my year? 🤷‍♀️ but instead I have relished the laid back approach of just going around and talking to people. It’s been great and I have loved hearing the feedback. One conversation ended in a sale! Just showing up and getting your face known lays the foundation for future years

Here’s to looking forward to seeing you next year
