What happens when you ditch the 9-to-5, pack up your life, and move interstate… all for the love of matcha? This week on Messie Minds, we’re joined by Vicky and Leo — aka Matcha Sensei from TikTok — the powerhouse duo behind Green Caffeine.
Vicky went from corporate life in Sydney to running a matcha business in Melbourne with the precision of a logistics queen. Leo swapped burnout and double espressos for better sleep, calmer days, and a viral TikTok presence teaching people the right way to make matcha. Together, they’re building a brand that’s as much about values as it is about the perfect cup.
We get into the leap from safe careers to scary entrepreneurship, the explosion of matcha culture, navigating the crowded wellness space, and what it’s really like running a business with your partner without killing each other.
Whether you’re a matcha newbie, a small business dreamer, or just curious about how to start over without losing your mind, this episode is a caffeine-free jolt of inspo.
