Show Notes
Today we welcome Sammi Rogers onto the R2Kast! 🎙️ From greasy spoon cafes and fashion design for royalty to opening her own ice cream empire in Bala, Sammi’s journey is as wild as it is wonderful. Her story captures the spirit of risk-taking, reinvention, and resilience. 🍦👗
We explore Sammi’s unexpected move from climbing clothing design and couture internships to rural entrepreneurship, restoring vintage Maseratis with her husband and opening not one but two ice cream shops! 🚙🍨
Sammi reflects on the challenges of working in care, freelancing, and running a business with no experience—all while putting community, local sourcing, and her own wellbeing front and centre. Her passion is contagious! 💼🌱
From hand-beading £20,000 gowns to making sorbet in Snowdonia, this episode is a reminder that your path doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else—as long as it excites you! 🧭💬
We even planned a trip to Italy! 🇮🇹 🍨 🍕
Enjoy! 😊
Thank you to Howden Rural for the continued support.
