January 31, 2024 · 49 min
In this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we get going with a flat white coffee with Damien Wager, a self-made pâtissier and business entrepreneur whose Edible Art patisseries can be found throughout England. To indulge in any of his sensational pastries is to invite a "perplexing" dilemma, which is part of his successful business model. Homeless at one point in his life, he goes into great depth as to why he aims to be the most marketable pastry chef as opposed to the best. He knows firsthand the stigma associated with accepting assistance and he explains what he's doing to address that on his terms. His artistic medium (pastry) is incredibly visual and his creations are nothing short of masterpieces, yet his reluctance toward social media kept him away at first. Find out who his first Instagram follower was (you may already know him) and how that helped his meteoric rise in the world of pastry.Damien Wager is one-to-watch — not only for his skills and talent in pastry, but also for his expanding business and why treating his team fairly matters so much to him.If you want to know more about us, go to https://www.scoolinary.net/?utm_source=podcastWe are waiting for you on our social networks:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scoolinary_en/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScoolinaryYou can get more information about Damien's most recent online course, Lifelike Fruits and Nuts, at https://www.scoolinary.com/courses/lifelike-fruits-and-nuts
