    From Homeless Drug Addict To Multi Million Bakery Empire - The Bread Ahead Story

    Matthew Jones lost everything. His business was gone. His family had fallen apart. Alcohol had taken control, and he found himself rebuilding his life from scratch. Today, Bread Ahead is one of the world's most celebrated bakeries, with locations across the globe, thousands of students through its bakery school, and queues stretching around Borough Market. In this episode of Hungry, Dan Pope sits down with Matthew to unpack the journey from addiction and rock bottom to building an international bakery brand. They talk about recovery, risk, leadership, obsession, opening in New York, scaling without losing quality, and why success is never as simple as it looks from the outside. This is a conversation about second chances, resilience, and what it really takes to build something extraordinary. Ayra is your external front of house.

    Marketing God Father: 63 Years of Wisdom in 3 Hours (best thing you’ll listen to)

    Advertising legend Dave Trott joins Dan Pope to explain why most marketing goes unnoticed, why brand should be your second thought, and why simple, blunt ideas beat clever jargon. From Toshiba and Audi to Volkswagen, Nike and Steve Jobs, Trott breaks down the campaigns, principles and creative decisions that made brands impossible to ignore. He explains why the best advertising is useful information, brilliantly executed; why every idea should be simple enough to repeat in the pub; and why distinctive work starts by asking what the advertising is actually supposed to do. A sharp, funny masterclass in form following function, positioning, working-class creativity and the power of giving people one unforgettable thing to remember. Ayra is your external front of house.

    Why You Have To Think Differently to Win a Michelin Star in 2026 - Emily Roux

    This week on Hungry: Emily Roux reflects on building Caractère with her husband Diego Ferrari, earning its Michelin star, and learning that excellence depends on patience, consistency and a tightly connected team. She shares lessons from working in Paris, Monaco, Japan and alongside leading chefs, revealing how curiosity, adaptability and deep immersion shaped her cooking. The conversation explores the Roux family legacy, her childhood inside Le Gavroche, the assumptions that come with a famous surname and her determination to establish herself independently. Emily also discusses the realities behind restaurant ownership — rent negotiations, staffing, motherhood, difficult conversations and the financial pressure of surviving Covid. From London’s restaurant boom and Japan’s devotion to ingredients to the importance of sauces, crockery and customer experience, Emily explains how Caractère blends classical foundations with a lighter, more contemporary identity — and why good things, including Michelin stars, take time.
