What if all it took to build an 8-figure company was $300 and a dream?

In this episode of Beyond A Million, Brad sits down with Ellen Bennett, the visionary founder of the culinary empire Hedley & Bennett. Starting with just $300 and a passion for improving the tools chefs rely on, Ellen turned her dream into a thriving 8-figure business.

She shares her journey from working in Michelin-starred kitchens to designing gear and tools that professional chefs and home cooks love. She dives deep into the challenges of scaling Hedley & Bennett, including transitioning from bespoke B2B sales to direct-to-consumer e-commerce, and why staying authentic to the brand’s mission has been her guiding star.
