UIOK 48: The enjoyment of pivoting with Rebecca Stewart

Today is episode 48 and I’m chatting with Rebecca Stewart the General Manager and co-founder of Pomegranate Kitchen. Pomegranate kitchen is a Wellington based Social Enterprise and registered charity. They provide group catering and individual lunch delivery to Wellingtonians. Their food is fresh, fun interesting and healthy. But probably the most fascinating point is that it’s influenced by a variety of different cultures, the reason for this is that all the cooks are from a refugee background. Rebecca and I discuss how the concept for Pomegranate came about, how the journey so far has been, and as always we get stuck into some of the challenging uncomfortable bits. Today we talk about breast cancer, social enterprise, the challenge of everyone being the boss, using her privilege and expertise to assist the community, and never knowing if it’s the right idea or not. It’s a very honest chat, some of which Rebecca told me she hadn’t talked about before so I was pretty honoured to be able to share that with her. Thanks for taking the time to listen, thanks for sharing the episode out, for leaving a comment or review on your favourite podcast app, and thanks for getting uncomfortable with me and Rebecca today.
