Today I am joined by Television Presenter Chris Bavin.

You might know him from presenting on a host of BBC food shows, but Chris actually spent the majority of his twenties working in wholesale food exports. Turning 20 on the turn of the century, Chris was headhunted to work for a large company selling flowers before moving on to fresh produce. His decade was spent prioritising his career above most other things, and 2 years after meeting his wife Millie, the two of them opened their own high street store called 'The Naked Grocer', when Chris was 29.

They ran the business for seven years and in that time the store won the title of 'National Independent Retailer of the Year' twice thanks to its loyal customers, their passion for fresh ingredients and being ahead of its time with no plastic packaging. Chris’s career then took an unfor-seen turn in his thirties when in 2013 he was cast to co-present Eat Well For Less on BBC One, which lead him on to present other shows including Food: Truth or Scare and judging on Britain’s Best Home Cook with co-star national treasure Mary Berry. 

Chris is a food fanatic, a proper people person and can banter his way out of trouble in any given situation. His twenties are evidence that working towards something you’re deeply passionate about, can often lead you somewhere better than you could have predicted.

Our favourite (and perhaps most contested) Millennial Minesweeper Quote this week was:

'The problem isn't the problem. The problem is the way you think about the problem’ - Stephen Bartlett
