JobsWorth - Ralph Tait

This week I'm sitting down with Ralph Tait, founder and owner of The Hatch in Leigh on Sea. The Hatch has become a bit of a haven for me over the past couple of years. You'll regularly find me there a couple of times a week hunched over my laptop while knocking back some of their incredible coffee. As a result, I've got to know Ralph a little better and it was a complete no brainer to ask him if he'd be happy to come onto the show. We chat about how The Hatch came to be, how Ralph juggles running a coffee shop while also working in consulting, and the lessons both worlds have taught him along the way. We also touch on what it’s like to put your own stamp on a space that means so much to so many...thanks in large part to the work of his mum, Lynn, and the legacy she built in the local community. This was an absolute pleasure. Ralph is a great communicator and, while we may have to fact check some of the dates **adds to to-do list** his knowledge of The Old Foundry, where The Hatch is located, as well as the surrounding area is top draw (Dan Snow's History Hit eat your heart out). Enjoy... Ralph Tait. P.S. A huge thank you to Ralph for not only being a great guest but also for letting us use his incredible space to record some future episodes. KeywordsThe Hatch, Ralph Tait, community hub, entrepreneurship, family legacy, coffee shop, business evolution, local culture, innovation, personal growth, consulting, problem solving, legacy, family balance, career advice, work-life balance, entrepreneurship, emotional connection, business expansion, communityLinksInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thehatchlosFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/theoldfoundry.thehatchThe JobsWorth website is here www.jobs-worth.comWatch the show on YouTube; https://www.youtube.com/@jobsworthpodcastFollow the show on Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/jobsworthpodcast/?hl=enFollow me on LinkedIn; https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhawker/Follow me on TikTok; https://www.tiktok.com/@globaltechcollectiveSubscribe to my newsletter 'The Job Journal from GTC'; https://subscribepage.io/TheJobJournalLearn more about my proper job; https://www.globaltechcollective.com/Contact the show on [email protected]
