The Chocolate Bar // Episode 45 Pep Talk With Grace

    • Careers

This week we're diving back into one of my favourite topics – CHOCOLATE! Today you'll be hearing the story of The Chocolate Bar, from founder Luke.

Just shy of six years ago, Luke was working in hospo, having arrived in Wellington from the UK, and – in a tale that will sound familiar to a lot of us – found himself searching for his “thing”.

After tasting fellow Pep Talk alumni Wellington Chocolate Factory's then new product, Luke followed his instinct and new passion for craft chocolate, and barely a month later found himself launching The Chocolate Bar - an online chocolate shop, curating and celebrating craft chocolate from all over the world.

Five and a half years later and The Chocolate Bar is going stronger than ever, with a gang of loyal subscribers to his curated monthly boxes of quality craft chocolate bars, and has become a “go to” expert on all things craft chocolate in New Zealand.

Safe to say, Luke has definitely found his “thing”, and I know this story is going to be really interesting and inspiring to so many of us to find ourselves pondering our raison d'être. So grab some (*good quality single origin) craft chocolate, and hunker down for a great chat with Luke today...

You can find out more about Luke and order yourself some of his amazing craft chocolate range on his website – thechocolatebar.nz – and follow his journey on Instagram @thechocolatebar.nz.
