Welcome back to So That’s What I Do — the podcast where we speak to business owners from all walks of life.

Today’s guest is Andy Shearman, the founder of Liquid Mist — not your average vape shop. Inspired by a love for vintage style and frustration with bland customer service, Andy created a Peaky Blinders-inspired customer experience where customers can mix bespoke flavours, grab a coffee, and feel like part of a community.
