In this episode of FancyBread Adrian, Ed, and guest Juan dive into the different ways that “sharking” can be used as a skill and not just a cheeky tactic in a restaurant. You’ll get tips on how to recognize these sharks, understand their core traits, and even learn strategies for dealing with them and or be like them. Plus, we have some fun with the idea that fish are friends, not food...
