   From Accountant to Creative Entrepreneur | Joe Hayes on AI, Content and Human Connection

   In this episode of Rad-Ventures, I sit down with Joe Hayes — founder of Kindful Creative — to talk about his journey from accountancy into video production, podcasting, and creative entrepreneurship. Joe shares how his background in accounting shaped his discipline and approach to deadlines, but why spreadsheets alone were never going to be enough. We talk about building strong relationships in business, why human connection still matters in a world increasingly shaped by AI, and how the content landscape is shifting toward deeper, longer-form storytelling. We also explore the idea that every business is becoming an entertainment company, the risks of chasing algorithms, and why mindfulness is more important than ever in a digital-first world. A relaxed but thoughtful conversation about creativity, business growth, relationships, and staying human in a tech-driven age.

   Open Fire Cooking, Culinary Education & Hospitality Life | Ross – Open Flame Experience

   In this episode of Rad-Ventures, I sit down with Ross, founder of The Open Flame Experience, to talk about his journey through the catering world and into building a business centred around open-fire cooking and hands-on food education. We talk about where his passion for food started, how travelling shaped the way he cooks, and why teaching people about food, fire and technique is such a big part of what he now does. Ross explains the thinking behind the Open Flame Experience, what actually happens at his sessions, and why hands-on learning is so important. We also get into the realities of working in hospitality, how the industry has changed, the challenges caterers face post-COVID, and why collaboration and community matter more than competition. Ross shares his views on work-life balance, mental health in hospitality, and what it’s like building something new in a demanding industry. A relaxed conversation about cooking, business models, creativity, travel, and finding enjoyment in the work you do. 00:00 – Introduction & meeting Ross02:57 – What is The Open Flame Experience?05:50 – Food education & awareness09:03 – Cooking techniques & open fire cooking11:59 – Hands-on experiences & course structure14:56 – Knife skills & tools17:48 – Ross’s catering background29:54 – The reality of the catering industry34:14 – Work-life balance in hospitality38:14 – Mental health in the industry45:58 – Travel & cooking abroad52:09 – Living in the moment58:01 – Collaboration over competition Links: https://theopenflameexperience.co.uk/ https://www.instagram.com/theopenflameexperience/ https://www.theburntchefproject.com/ https://www.instagram.com/pardoeandco/ https://www.alexpoleironwork.com/ Enjoying Rad-Ventures?
