Ben Shewry (Pt 2) - How The Chef Was Made

Sobre este episódio

<p>This is Pt2 of our chat with award-winning chef and owner of Melbourne restaurant, Attica. Go back and listen to Pt 1 if you haven&rsquo;t yet. It&rsquo;s a doozy. As the second part, this is a double-doozy&hellip; or a... twoozy&hellip; I guess.<br><br>In this episode, Ben explains how he managed to build empathy amongst the staff at Attica through something he created called Staff Speeches. He also shares a harrowing bullying story from his childhood when his mother saved him from certain catastrophe, and finally Ben opens up for the first time publicly about his challenging journey with body image.<br><br>As one of the most respected and celebrated chefs in the world, we&rsquo;re very grateful that we were able to sit down with Ben like this. He left a very positive impression on all 3 of us, for very different reasons.
