From a humble coffee van to one of Bunbury’s most loved cafes — this is the full story of Little Spencer. Liam and Corey join me fresh off the sale of their café to talk about how they built it from scratch, the systems behind their success, and what life feels like now that it’s all sold.

We go deep on business, burnout, building community, and what it means to run a thriving café as a couple. It’s a powerful chat about growth, self-belief, and knowing when to step away — all told by two of the sharpest operators Bunbury’s ever seen.

🎙 Todays guest
This episode dives deep into the legacy and evolution of MGM Bulk and the Giacci family dynasty, one of Bunbury’s most iconic business stories, through the eyes of Jimmy Giacci, third-generation leader and marketing mind behind the brand.

We cover everything from the origins of Giacci Brothers, the transition to MGM, and the realities of running a 600-person transport operation, through to Jimmy’s personal journey — from machines and quarries to marketing, snowboarding, cars, creativity, and life balance.

Jimmy’s story is a raw look at legacy, leadership, and what it means to carry a family business into a new era while staying grounded in creativity, humility, and purpose.

Today I sit down with Terry Pantlin, long-time Bunbury accountant and owner of Terry Pantlin & Associates. We talk about the real guts of business — risk, reward, failure, tenacity, and everything that sits between the spreadsheets. Terry’s been guiding local business owners for over 35 years, and this chat goes deep into what makes a winner tick, how imagination and logic overlap in business, and why relationships matter more than numbers.

If you’re running a business, thinking about starting one, or just love hearing straight talk from people who’ve seen it all, this one’s for you.
