EP 56 - HOW GLOBAL BRAND BONDI CHAI WAS DESIGNED ON A YELLOW LEGAL PAD

Lifestyle Design - Drawing the Perfect Work Life Balance

Bondi Chai is an awarding winning Australian Chai Tea company. Started in Tasmania, Melissa and Martin Edyvean have an amazing and inspiring story of a husband and wife who decided to make their dreams of a perfect life a reality. Starting with a life designed on a yellow legal pad, this interview takes you through the highs, the very low’s and the success these two lovely and super successful people have been through on their journey to achieve their dreams. From the naming of the brand, to setting a BHAG, understanding how to live and work successfully with your life partner, going global, to creating a new category in the market, we cover a range of relevant topics for any dreamer, partner or business person looking for ideas to realise your potential.
