SPEEDy Interview - Fit Brits

State your name for the record- Warren Paul Nash

Please tell us what problem your business solves in 50 words or less - The problem is that many of us don’t eat healthy; we all have our excuses why this may be; my business solves these for you!

Expand on your idea – how will you make money from it? - My business poses great potential for sponsorship. It provides video-podcasts of cook-a-long recipes. These podcasts will be sponsored by a certain brand of food I am using in the podcast or equipment I may be using. As the website develops, I hope to add a feature where the user can transfer their personal shopping list to an online grocery vendor, I hope to get a % commission from this as well.

Explain who your customer is- Essentially, my customer is anyone who says one (or more) of the following:

‘I don’t eat healthy because:

• I don’t know what healthy food is’
  
• I don’t know the ingredients’
  
• I don’t have time to go shopping’
  
• I don’t have time to cook’
  
• I don’t know how to cook’
  

As you can imagine, this is quite a broad clientele, so, I am initially focusing my business on males aged 20 to 50 years.

Describe where you see yourself in 5 years’ time- I see myself having a mainstream television show on one of the 4 major terrestrial TV channels! Pah, not, have you seen my latest podcast?!!! Anyway, video podcasts are much better because they are far more relevant to the user who downloads them. Sorry, I’m going seriously off topic here. Anyway, as ridiculously over-ambitious as it may sound, I want to get Britain cooking again. People don’t realise how easy and cheap it really is, and if I can say in 5 years time, I made a difference to the health of the nation, I’d be happy with that (how corny!!!). I also want a Maserati (for the record)

I keep seeing so many more ways to lead a healthy lifestyle as well, I was thinking of healthy fast-food restaurants (and no, Subway is NOT a healthy fast-food restaurant!) a while back, how good would it be to have somewhere that sold smoothies instead of Cola and food that actually contained 100% meat. Anyway, that’s a project for another day! When I have my Maserati, I will pursue it!

Random Questions – choose one and answer

• Who is your hero?- Virgil Tracey!

He may only be a puppet but he’s the pilot of Thunderbird 2. Thunderbird 2 is the best Thunderbird aircraft! Virgil always confronts danger head on and it’s because of him that all Thunderbird rescue operations are so successful. Virgil also has great fashion sense and exceptional pianist skills (for a puppet anyway!). Best of all, he gets to see Lady Penelope whenever he likes!
