8 - Jack Clarke - From 999 calls to coffee shop ownership in my unexpected career path
from Someone's gotta do it · host Callan
In episode eight of Someone's Gotta Do It, I sit down with Jack Clarke. Jack’s career path takes more turns than anyone I've spoken to so far. Graphic design, customer service, complaints handling, answering 999 calls, travelling the world for a pet company, and a redundancy that left him with nothing before a chance conversation with a local business owner led to selling coffees and donuts from a tuktuk van in Chorley. His passion for coffee and customer interaction then found him opening his own coffee shop.Jack now owns and runs one of the best coffee shops in Preston.He talks about discovering his passion for customer experience in the most unexpected places, what it takes to bounce back from rock bottom, and why sometimes the best opportunities come from the conversations you never planned to have. This story was fantastic and an absolute pleasure to record.You can find Jack’s coffee shop on instagram @lifelatelylifelatelyLife Lately is on Winkley Street in Preston PR1 2AA and is well worth a visit if you are in the area.
