Today’s conversation is with Michael Bergson, owner of Bucks Bar and Thundercat Pub and Diner. Michael has been at the forefront of speaking up for Scottish Business and the Hospitality sector for the last 4 years in a challenging backdrop. He has been a real voice of reason and common sense. During this episode, expect to learn about Michael's entrepreneurial journey, the mentors and guidance which helped shape his business and mindset, the importance of understanding your why and the long term goal for your career and business, and how to maximise positive publicity to grow. Beyond this, I have really valued Michael’s perspectives on the draconian C19 measures, and the challenging and restrictive political environment for Scottish businesses with rising taxes, an anti growth narrative and environment combined with policies like the Deposit Return Scheme and Low Emission Zone. Michael has stood up to be counted during this period and I know many of you will appreciate his stance and want to add weight to the sensible, pro growth voices which are challenging the current narrative.
