I Chased the Bagel Boys and Found the Truth About Small Business

Thursday Feb 26, 2026

In the very first episode of The Food Granny Podcast, Christine sets the tone for what this show is really about. No gloss. No hype. No pretending small business is easier than it is.
This is a story about chasing bagels. Not trends. Not vanity metrics. Not social media noise. Bagels.
Christine shares why she chose product over popularity, substance over spin, and what it really takes to open the doors each morning in South Australia. From early starts to financial pressure, from community connection to cultural identity, this episode explores the quiet effort that holds everyday business together.
If you love food but also care about money, margins, people and place, this is where the conversation begins.Follow Christine @thefoodgranny or visit her website www.thefoodgranny.com.au #TheFoodGranny #FoodPodcast #SmallBusinessAustralia #SouthAustralianBusiness #LocalProduce #HospitalityLife #WomenInBusiness #FoodStories #BehindTheCounter #IndependentBusiness
