PhD to Sourdough Success

A pandemic hobby turned into a £250K revenue powerhouse: Kerrie Morris, a chemical engineering PhD student, turned her sourdough obsession into The Sourdough Labs, selling starters, flours, and gear across the UK. Launched in late 2024 from her Newark home, the business now boasts a full lineup of starters and a five-star hygiene rating, with profits soaring from £62K to a projected £100K. Her scientific background fuels innovation, while the venture lets her reclaim family time — and she’s even eyeing a brick-and-mortar tasting shop. Proof that passion + skill + timing can turn lockdown downtime into a thriving enterprise. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
