In this episode, I sit down with another awe inspiring Tribe member Sonia, founder of Bravo Gazpacho, whose passion for bringing Spain’s iconic, refreshing gazpacho to Australia is starting to turn into a bit of movement. What started as a craving for a taste of home on a long drive to her hometown Geralton in Western Australia has now become a premium product taking up WA's premium retailer shelf space to help us stay hydrated, energised and refreshed even during the hottest of summer month. Sonia’s story is a rollercoaster of resilience, culture, and pure determination to introduce Australians to something more than just a cold veggie laden drink—it’s a way of life. We laughed, we cried, we got real about the struggles of starting a business with no blueprint, and we celebrated small and big milestones on her way to get her beautiful drink stocked across Australia.  Sonia opens up about the energy and love she pours into every bottle and the challenge of convincing a market unfamiliar with gazpacho. Top Highlights: "It all started with a craving for something refreshing and nutrient dense on a long drive home," Sonia shares. From that craving she decided to create what Spanish families use a staple in their househould to nourish themselves. The unique hurdles of bringing a fresh, locally sourced, preservative-free product to WA supermarkets—and why Sonia wouldn’t have it any other way. How Sonia’s unwavering belief in Bravo Gazpacho and her commitment to local sourcing and premium quality are driving her success. This is more than a story of a product; it’s a celebration of cultural roots, entrepreneurial grit, and the joy of sharing something you love with the world. If you’re ready to be inspired by Sonia's grid and determination and maybe even get a little thirsty, hit play now!

With a Master’s in International Business and Project Management, my background is all about organizational strategy, leadership, and finding those little time-saving hacks that lead to big growth.
