After taking a 2hour train journey to my first interview in London while visiting by myself for the first time... Upon reaching Victoria station I stopped by a Pret for a coffee before hopping on the tube to the interview, strangely enough I was given it for free. To this day I will never forget how my first experience of London and the real working world was a positive one thanks to the brand, the 'act of kindness' boosted my mood and continued throughout the interview and the rest of the day. And for that reason I will forever pick Pret over any other coffee shop in the city.

Most of my lunches when working in the city were Pret or Itsu. Never knew they were owned by the same person. Great food and amazing service. Loved finding out about his story.

Ive seen every single episode of this podcast ever made, I never miss one. And yet each time, im still so incredibly impressed by the level of transparency and authenticity we get to see from all the guests. In little more than an hour, I walk away with a totally new and different perception of these people, usually always an insane amount of respect as well. I didn't know much about Julian before watching this but he made me laugh, smile, cry a bit, sit here in awe, and also fired up my motivation. What an amazing and genuine individual. Thank you Steve for giving us the opportunity to see a little further into the lives and personalities of these amazing people. What a privilege.

Loved him! Such an interesting, funny and rare character. You don’t hear of many people, that were born into wealth, care about the poorest and speak out about what the people in power do so wrongly. So refreshing!

I’ve just spent my Saturday night watching this. I usually listen but I felt compelled to watch because I could feel raw emotion and passion and wanted to see the person it was coming from. So many takeaways and so much resonated with me. Incredible guest. Adored his loyalty scheme and inspiring me to introduce more to my team on Monday. Thank you

What a fantastic conversation! I've watched this twice in the past two days. People like Julian and Steven are extremely rare and I'd love to work with either of you one day.

I haven't previously heard anything about Julian Metcalfe, obviously knew of Pret as my brother works within many of the London branches as a freelance sound engineer who has always commented on how good their food is. I'm so in awe of Julian and he's single handedly changed my opinion about what type of person achieves such phenomenal success as I find him incredibly giving, authentic, kind and generous in his outlook, traits that aren't always associated with company founders or high flying entrepreneurs. I absolutely loved this conversation and I believe Steven did too as he couldn't stop laughing at times, Julian has a way he connects with you that is really heartwarming to watch. All your hard work to create these fantastic podcasts is greatly appreciated as I'm learning so much from them. Thank you

Always like the food in Pret. Many moons ago, I was once getting a coffee in a Pret in London, it was about 5 pm, the member of staff asked if I was just finishing work, I replied, "I'm just starting." "For that sir you can have this for free." I never forgot about that, it was a tiny gesture, but that random gesture lasted a long time for me, and have told many people that story since. Really interesting interview.

I had a conversation with my manager once and he was explaining to all about the needs of the business. My reply to him was “yes but you can’t forget the people”. The people that actually make the business run are so important. How the work together and collaborate. It’s vital to the success of a business. Smart man. I’d work for this gentleman in a heartbeat.
