In episode nine of Someone's Gotta Do It, I sit down with Joe ’Taco’ Ormond. At just three months old, Taco was given up by his birth mother in El Salvador in the hope he could have a better life. Soon after, he was adopted by a couple in the UK who gave him exactly that.

He talks about growing up adopted, his love of football, building his own sports massage business, and how the COVID-19 pandemic led him into residential childcare, working with children from some of the most complex and difficult backgrounds imaginable.

There's a quiet irony that isn't lost on him and he now spends his life helping children who, like him, were need of a better start.

He also opens up about meeting his blood sister for the first time, the grief of losing his adoptive mother, becoming a father himself, his alter-ego Taco and the things that keep him grounded.

This one is about full circles, and it stayed with me long after we stopped recording.

In episode eight of Someone's Gotta Do It, I sit down with Jack Clarke. Jack’s career path takes more turns than anyone I've spoken to so far. Graphic design, customer service, complaints handling, answering 999 calls, travelling the world for a pet company, and a redundancy that left him with nothing before a chance conversation with a local business owner led to selling coffees and donuts from a tuktuk van in Chorley. His passion for coffee and customer interaction then found him opening his own coffee shop.

Jack now owns and runs one of the best coffee shops in Preston.

He talks about discovering his passion for customer experience in the most unexpected places, what it takes to bounce back from rock bottom, and why sometimes the best opportunities come from the conversations you never planned to have. This story was fantastic and an absolute pleasure to record.

You can find Jack’s coffee shop on instagram @lifelatelylifelately

Life Lately is on Winkley Street in Preston PR1 2AA and is well worth a visit if you are in the area. Amazing coffee, branding and decor.

In episode seven of Someone's Gotta Do It, I sit down with Hannah Grey. Hannah’s career path is unlike anything I've heard before. Forensic science, bar work, a decade in insolvency, working with children and finally a digital marketing business she built entirely from scratch.

She talks about her study at university and how a night on the town changed her path and lead her to where she is today. She also gives some great advice to small businesses looking to extend their reach!

This one is about resilience. And it really shows.

Hannah’s work is fantastic and she works with some really cool brands and businesses. You can find out more by following Hannah and her business page on instagram @hannahgreymarketing and @forty_and_co
