Jason's guest for this episode of the Save My Business podcast is leading Melbourne chef and restaurateur Shane Delia.
He's become a familiar face through his many regular television appearances on shows such as Ready Steady Cook and Postcards, as well as his own internationally acclaimed Spice Journey.
Shane's personal and professional journey is the stuff of movies: a boy from humble immigrant beginnings who struggled with school but found a passion and, on the back of his relentless drive to make something of himself and a genuine way with people, became a shining light in his chosen industry and a well-known and respected figure across his city.
Along the way, he's taken a number of challenges head on, and kept pushing the boundaries.
Of course, being in the hospitality business in Melbourne during the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown has pushed many to the brink, but Shane and his team have adapted better than most.
You won't hear another story like this one.
