The wave was coming.

Most couldn’t see it.

Very few were in the water.

But, Two Johns were. Ready to catch it.

Well, actually, t’was a John and a Jon.

John and Jon were in Madrid. Studying a MBA.

In the evenings, parked in baroque slow-paced courtyards, under mind-meltingly, soul-nourishingly wonderful pink-orange sunsets.

What is HUNGRY.?

HUNGRY is THE podcast for Challenger FMCG & Hospitality Founders wanting to pour gasoline on growth.

We chat with the industry BIG HITTERS. We ooze out the HIDDEN success secrets they’ve never told before and dive deep into their gut-wrenching failures, so you avoid them.

We help you grow bigger, faster, stronger.

Over the last 6 years, we’ve chatted to some insane guests on the poddy:

Rory Sutherland, Seth Godin, Jamie Laing, Spencer
Matthews, Tom Kerridge, Sir John Hegarty,

The founders of SOHO House, TRIP, The Devonshire, Tony’s Chocolonely, Vita Coco

Look, I’ll be blunt,

HUNGRY is NOT your normal podcast.
HUNGRY is NOT scripted and sterile Q&A interviews.
HUNGRY is for pretty much no one.
HUNRGY is a deliciously fun, wild and crazy, ADHD rollercoaster of free flowing conversations.
