Season 3 is here! To kick off the new season, we're chatting with Joe Moruzzi, founder of Pleese and creator of the innovative 'freezecake'. From working on building sites to constructing a brand from the ground up, Joe discusses the challenges of entering a well-established market with an unknown product. He's landed major retailer stockists and even turned down an offer on Dragons' Den!
