With Julian Metcalfe, founder of Itsu

Julian Metcalfe is a British entrepreneur and one of the most influential individuals on the London high street.

On the podcast, he tells Liv and Lara about the influence of his Ukrainian mother; why he decided to start Itsu, in many ways a competitor to Pret; what he thinks is the future of the grab-and-go industry; and why uni is the ultimate comfort food.
